With global warming, people have forgotten how cold it used to get more often, and don't know how to deal with it when it does come.
Eg., where I now live, in the Atlanta area, the record low for Jan. for 1981-2010 was -8F. The record low for Feb. was 6F.
The lowest recorded temperature was -9F on 2-13-1899.
The forecast low for this coming Monday night is 8F, far from the lowest, and in line with what it used to get more often than it has for quite a few years.
1/4/2013 The radio just said some areas will have cold weather not seen for more than 10 years.

The Weather Channel warned that "one of the coldest arctic air masses in nearly 30 years" was likely to hit the Plains and Midwest this weekend.
