Our local radio station had mentioned that virtually some part of all 50 states had temps at or below freezing over the past few days. They played some clips from various weather reports around the country where they do not normally experience cold temps--it was hilarious! Some weather forecaster in California was warning of the danger of blowing leaves (and also mentioned her hair was blowing in the breeze). Another forecaster mentioned the temps were 42, and if it had gotten "just a little colder, they could have had snow".
I guess it's all a matter of what you are used to.
