We live in hyperbolic times, everything an absolute and most.

One radio commentator went so far as to call The Winter Classic “the greatest event ever played on the greatest continent.” As ridiculous as his statement may be, hype is our norm.

How did you survive the Great Polar Vortex of 2014? And what will you do to get through the next step towards our end?
