Trivial by comparison. Back in the 50s and 60s, lakes and rivers would routinely freeze. Back then, everyone had ice skates. Chunks of ice were often seen in the Hudson River. They built a bridge from Manhattan to Brooklyn because ice would routinely separate the two. Today's winters are topical by comparison.
We had multiple consecutive days when it went below -18 degrees C. In the spring, we found frost even two feet underground. And that was not even in cold environments such a Maine or NY State. Back then we really had winters.
Do you feel warmer now?
