#1 Seems like more evidence pointing to the coming 2nd Little Ice Age.

#2 First, all temeratures should be tagged C or F. Granted -30 F or C is cold but *30F is worse. 7F is chilly I'll grant but its not the end of the world. OK its the end of the world for a Florida citrus grower. The Upper Midwest, the Plains States, the Northeast and the Mountain States see this every year much less Canada, Scandanavia and other regions. Look at the "clean the stores out" hyteria in Atlanta recently. I think a lot of it is hype on the part of the media. When I was young we never heard about the wing chill. The factors existed. We just didn't hear about it. If we heard it would be 0°F we dressed for it

#3 "Istanbul Paralyzed" is not a statement that would surprise most people who've been there.
