I grew up in Pittsburgh, where winters were plenty cold and snowy. I went to a Catholic school which had no school buses. I either walked to school (a mile) in the dark,
Today's kids are snowflakes, and I love daylight savings time.

Until I went to a school, then outside of city limits, miles from my house, I walked to school most of the time from First to Third grade.
Pittsburgh record low is only -22.
Now that is cold but that is where truly deadly cold only starts, I have worked in that area of cold.
I have also been out walking in in temps below minus 30, 40 and 50.
You CAN tell the difference, especially below -40.
An hour out in any thing under -30 is a world different from -20; been there done that.
I agree though kids are now snowflakes due to being parented by ignorant dweebs.
