There are colder places, but it is pretty bad.  Last year the all-time 
lows were around -25deg. F for a few days, but this doesn't happen often.  
It's just the accumulation of water and ice coupled with leaving 
my poor baby out in the cold with no garage.  I might add, when the cold 
really hit, the Audi was the only thing to start.  I rescued 3 of my 
friends' cars and my girlfriend's .  Hope I didn't jinx myself by saying 
this...
