By the end of the day we might have up to 30 inches of snow in Arlington! Check out the records for biggest snowfalls of all time from Factmonster.com: http://www.factmonster.com/ipka/A0001381.html.
We know we live in a seasonal climate zone, so we have snow in the winter and it is hot in the summers. Part of our climate is determined by us living the middle latitudes, but climate is also affected by closeness to the water, elevation, and air currents.
Today might be a cold day for us, but at the South Pole the same temperature would be considered warm. The record high temperature at the South Pole is only 7.5 degrees Fahrenheit! Check out other record high and low temperatures here: http://www.factmonster.com/ipka/A0001382.html.
