-35 degrees below 0

This is a shot of Lehmann house after a recent ice/sleet/snow(?) storm we had that left 1-2 inches of extremely slippery ice all over the school grounds. Thanks to my lovely wife, we both had "walkers" to slip on the bottom of our shoes to keep from falling over ever 2 feet. They have these cool springs on the bottom that grip the ice and keep you safe and secure. This is about as close as we've come to a real snow storm this extremely warm winter.
Our science department recently received a grant for a weather station that allows us to track all kinds of meteorological data like barometric pressure, wind speed, wind chill, etc. On the day this pic was taken our daytime low was 2 degrees and we had a -35 degree wind chill. The wind was so cold that you could feel this prickly or tingly sensation on your skin.
