          I can't compete: it's just a bit above freezing here - which is a little unseasonably warm - but the lowest I can remember for here is around -5C during the day.

            Can't compete? I'd say that's an outright win compared to what we have. :-D

                I've lived here, at various times, for a total of about 22 years, and this winter has probably been the worst. Last winter was mild compared to most others.

                      I can relate. Spent a fun filled winter in Fairbanks many years ago. Spent most of the day working outside. Many days the high was in the negative 30's. Couldn't handle that today.

                                My mother went to Israel in the 80's with a few friends. She really enjoyed it. She was trying to learn Hebrew at the time, I think. She had befriended an elderly lady at the time who was an Holocaust survivor, and through there discussions and hanging out, my mother felt compelled to visit Israel. I actually would like to visit Israel and surrounding countries sometime. Not sure if it will happen anytime soon, but I would like to. As a side note: My in-laws visited Israel about 10 years ago or so with their church group, and were escorted off a bus at a checkpoint by soldiers with machine guns because it was "not safe" for tourists to be traveling that route at that time. Yikes!!

                                  We did a similar trip in 2019, but we were allowed into the West Bank (the 'safer' sections). The army only checked us on the way back into Israel proper.

                                    It could have been an army drill (Israel is quite small - about the size of New Jersey), so they closed off the downrange area. If they had a local tour guide, in addition to the pastor who lead the group, he/she was remiss in not checking for this sort of thing before choosing the day's route.

                                      We have one particular outgoing pipe (the catch) in our house that freezes when it is consistently 10F or less -- over 12 hours or so. I always wonder how you in those especially frozen climates keep everything thawed? Are your houses built with more specific insulation around pipes & keeping pipes away from outside walls? Just curious & good luck with your cold snap.

                                        We have one particular outgoing pipe (the catch) in our house that freezes when it is consistently 10F or less -- over 12 hours or so. I always wonder how you in those especially frozen climates keep everything thawed? Are your houses built with more specific insulation around pipes & keeping pipes away from outside walls? Just curious & good luck with your cold snap.

                                        There's certainly more insulation, with pipes coming in under the frost line. Never a need to drip faucets here, unlike a few times when I lived in Dallas.

                                          Also, up here we have anti-freeze faucets for all outside faucets. Something like this: AQUA-DYNAMIC Brass Straight Anti Freeze Valve Hydrant 1390-140 | RONA[^]
