In the past a real -40f did happen in a January/ February on and off, I have not seen that in a long time.

Just because it gets cold for a brief period in January / February doesn’t mean much when it follows a abnormally warm period when it normally would be cold
How is this bad?

Dont worry next time the Beaufort gyre unloads you will see it again.
