It's 11 F here in Southern Maine. Wind chill makes it feel like 1. The car creaks with each pothole and frost heave after it warms up for 15 minutes and I scrape it for another 10. The ice is slippery and the snow gets tracked inside during the frequent trips to the wood pile.
Oh to feel the 'cold winds from China' again from the tropical perspective.
Better bundle up, elderly man!

"Elderly Man?" What's up with that?
It's 15 F wind chill today in OKC and sleeting.
I'll avoid prolonged exposure to wintry winds too.
