My sister lives in Winnipeg where I lived until I moved to NM. Her and her husband have a cottage on Lake Winnipeg. It received some major frost movements this past winter. Doors drag, one is jammed, windows have stuck and a couple of cupboard doors won't open. The frost went almost 9 feet deep there. In Winnipeg there are still people were hundreds of people whose water line from the city utility forze and were frozen for weeks on end.

I worked in St. Paul, Mn during January. Frost there was at 5 feet. The most I've seen in years. Minus 15 for the high temps.
Global Warming / Climate Change ???? ???
Or just plain old midwest cold?
