Millions of Americans grappling with this week's deep freeze would be better off warming up in parts of Antarctica.
A mammoth blast of frigid air sweeping through the Midwest is headed toward the East, on track to shatter dozens of records along the way.
"The coldest air in a generation is sinking south, with below-zero temperatures already in the Upper Midwest," CNN meteorologist Dave Hennen said Tuesday. "And the worst yet to come."

This is an annual event where I grew up - usually held on Jan 1, if the ice is thick enough --

One year, there were two families who lived in adjacent lakefront houses who challenged each other to be the last swimmers of the season. They eventually declared a truce when it got to be too much trouble to clear the ice before the daily swim.

When are you going to explain why the "Climate change" issue is such a huge deal for you? . . . besides fossil fuel sources telling you to make it so. Do you think it will effect your pocketbook? Your safety? Or is it just more "Us vs Them" mentality? Like one of your favorite fixations, "How many votes did the Russians change?", how much do you see the environment changed by man's hand, and is that acceptable? Once again, as in years past when I asked the same questions, I won't hold my breath waiting for an answer, nor will I expect a reasoned well thought out answer at that. But again, at least I tried.

You saying that you've asked a question before and are still waiting for an answer is laughable...

You are one the best on this forum of evading questions that make you look bad. At least you're good at more then just drinking.

My father grew up on a farm with no electric power or motor vehicles. They did quite well from the products of the farm (milk, maple sugar, apples, etc) supplemented by the day wages my grandfather and his horses earned working in the woods up on the ridges. Also available in that unpowered valley were jobs in several water-powered mills, producing things like board and beam lumber, shingles, starch, marble, and talcum.
