2. Nope

But temps got down to freezing and bellow freezing.

That was as close to it as I would like to come without real proper clothing or insulation.

With proper both I have little problem with it.

3. Yep, and I hated it!

I fought with my mother about it on many occasion. Who's going to be scared of a witch wearing a coat and snow boots?

4. Yup. In my memory it invariably snowed on Halloween.

6. A real winter when I was a kid...

meant snow and ice... in Dallas.

One time when the pipes under the kitchen
sink froze, my mother thawed them out with
the portable hair dryer.
