Okay, I just did! You are at 65.8 deg. north, which in the U.S. is a north latitude approximately level with Anchorage, AK, while the place in Iowa was at 42 degrees north, which in Europe is as far south as Lisbon! Quite a bit of difference!
That made 33 degrees below zero HERE a bit more unusual, I'd say! <g>
How far north you are makes for a great pissing contest, but the reality is, when the arctic air mass moves south for the winter, if it hits you, you get cold.
I live about 160km north of the 49th parallel, and have seen temperatures in the range of -50�C, and temps around -30� for weeks on end.
