I went out last night for dinner and drinks with our new curator. I really do like her. She’s very nice, and she’s very easy to talk to. When I first met her in person, I knew I’d get along with her. She’s a very perceptive person and very bright. She just seems to be a genuinely warm and interesting person. I love meeting someone and the conversation just flows. I feel like we’re old friends not like she’s just a new coworker.
She seems to be setting in just fine. Though she’s from the South, she has worked in New England before in her previous job. So, she’s familiar with some of the quirks and charms of New England. She’s also realizing that Vermont weather is not quite like that of other parts of New England. I warned her to make sure to dress warmly Tuesday. Our low temperature is supposed to be -8 degrees Fahrenheit with windchills as low as -35. Our high Tuesday is supposed to be 5 degrees. She’s getting an early taste of how bitterly cold Vermont can be in the winter. I was lucky that my first winter in Vermont was fairly mild.

I guess I won't bitch about the weather here in Boston (or at least not to you).
I guess being on the "western slope" of the Appalachians puts you in a somewhat different climate zone. I was amazed a couple of weeks ago when you said the temperature wouldn't get above freezing until March, Hereabouts it goes above freezing on a kit if winter days, OTOH tomorrow's high is predicted to be 13°F at Logan Airport.
It's great that you have such a good rapport with the new curator.
At 5 degrees you are warmer or as warm as much of Canada in winter except the west coast. We wouldn’t consider that terribly cold, we know how to dress :-)

All the winter temperatures are normal for us in Montreal and we are equiped to face it too.
Today we're having a -20°C (-4°F>) with a wind factor of -45°C (-49°F).
Hydro Quebec our electricity publique company did break a record while they delivered more than 39 900 Mega Watts of energy. Not the most freezing temperature though. We've had some worse in the past.
