It has been reported that hell ACTUALLY froze over this week.

Yep, and that was a good joke when I posted it in this thread yesterday too:

Bright spot:

Thursday was the midpoint of meteorological winter.

Which, by definition, should average out over the long term to be the coldest day of the year.

Used to work in the energy planing business,
Over the years the average coldest day in New England was January 20th. Probably a bit of a lag as things continue to cool down.

It was cool here in Amman to day at 15 C but the wind was blowing so hard in Madaba, that a chicken laid the same egg three times!

I am spoiled on this work trip to the middle east - weather wise that is!

I finally got a day off on Saturday and another engineer and I did a road trip and visited a Roman hot spring near the Dead Sea. Very Cool - I mean Hot. We were several hundred feet below sea level and it was shirt sleeve weather.
