To people currently facing extreme cold, how are you guys doing?

It's -5°F over here in Chicago, supposed to hit a high of 2°F later today. Wife and I are working from home, so we're both ok. We care for a feral cat that spends the winter months in a wooden cat house with a bed and plug-in heating pad that my wife installed on the back deck a few years ago. I'm always worried about that cat, she's getting older and isn't as spry as she used to be.
In about six, seven months it's gonna be 100° warmer, which is wild to me.
- For better or worse at least we all know how to deal with the weather. The trains don't care what temperature it is and life goes on. I feel for the areas that aren't equipped to deal with temps below 30.

It's -3 this morning. It used to be a fairly regular temperature during winter, so I'm doing alright. The reason it's so bad though is this winter up to this weekend has been in the 40s, extremely warm for the season.

We've had some highs in the single digit negative (F). I'm lucky enough that I can just stay in. This isn't terribly unusual weather for this time of year. The rest of this season has been so warm it feels like a bigger deal than it is.

The snowblower froze up (specifically the mechanism that turns the spout) so I had to drag it into the house to warm it up. The plug cap on my headbolt heater also froze solid. I couldn't bring the car into the house to warm it up because, among other things, I already had the snowblower in there. I spent 20 minutes with a heat gun prying it off instead.
Aside from that it was a normal weekend.
- I actually went and talked to her before I started because I knew that was how it'd end up going.

Hit a snowbank with my car, so kinda shitty. Damage isn't too bad, but it's fucked up my morning.

We were just finally coming out of the cold snap, it warmed back up to around -20C, and my power steering line went -_-
- This temp breaks a lot of cars, which sucks. My own car always breaks something in the yearly cold snap. This year it's the block heater.

Outdoor temperatures have been between -10C and -29C for the last few weeks, I don't think it's going to get really cold here this year.
Cold doesn't really bother me, I don't normally even wear a jacket if it's warmer than -20C. Woollen sweater and a warm vest will do just fine.

And now I am become slug: I'm goopy, slow, and melting. (Someone poured salt on me.)
I'm in South America, facing the exact opposite - this summer has been extremely harsh, often going past 30°C in a rather wet city. To make things worse, a certain four-legged arsehole doesn't get that humans don't want to cuddle when it's too hot, so she keeps jumping on my lap:

\ (She's an arsehole. Cute, but an arsehole.)

I had to pry my car door open yesterday because it was frozen shut. I also couldn't open my window when I went through the drive up pharmacy.
- It actually makes sense, sick people aren't going into the store and getting everyone else sick. Elderly people also don't have to walk and risk slipping on the ice.

Pretty good! -20 here. We made crock pot dumping soup, my new snow boots and gloves arrived, and I am gonna bake coffee cake later to warm up the house.

2/3s of my city had power outages. Not from the snow, but from fallen trees because of strong winds. I was lucky and had power.
Stayed home with a portable heater with my kids and family. Surprised they didn't want to go play in the snow, and mostly played video games together.

It's only -11⁰c here in southwestern Ontario and I currently have my window cracked open. I run hot.
So far can't complain about the winter, it didn't start to snow until the second week of January so that's a huge plus. Did catch up with us but considering what winters are usually like here l can't complain too much.

What extreme cold? Is is January, this is not unusual weather - other than maybe unusually warm. Sure it is colder than average, but there is and always has been a large variation that makes up the average, we have seen lower temperatures in the last 10 years.
