Well, since it's been below zero all over the state of Indiana I can only imagine how cold it is "way up north".
So, how cold has it been?
I'm the guy who worked a winter for Schlumberger in Grande Prairie back in 1985. Gosh, that seems like eons ago, sure glad I'm not having to do it now.
And by the way, happy new year to you too.
