3. Just a tidge, so far.
But bitter, bitter cold!

note: a "tidge" for Colorado would be a big deal in some other places

5. Un fun!
A number of years ago we had one of those snaps where the temps plummet suddenly. When I got home from work it had dropped to below freezing; I'd hung my bedding on the clothes line that morning, and when I went to take them down I managed to 'break' one of the sheets! We stayed around -35 for nearly two weeks, lots of snow came with that storm.
