Strong Oppose for all – absolutely no reason to even consider this and the others for deletion. They describe historic weather events that caused a lot of issues in the US, and both this cold wave and the November one garnered a lot of headlines in the news, especially when the very snowy pattern that each caused. --MarioProtIV (^talk/_contribs) 11:49, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Winter happens every year, sometimes worse than other years. Sources are contemporaneous weather news that do not provide lasting impacts or notability. Reywas92^Talk 18:58, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Strongly Oppose - Major weather event that affected millions, with significant news coverage. The article should be improved and expanded, but outright deletion would rob Wikipedia of information on these specific events (the same could be said for several of the other nominated articles as well).

Keep Article sources show several "coldest month in history" from Toronto to Montreal to Rochester. That's sufficiently notable. We absolutely do write articles about records, and it's pretty clear these records affected more people than gold medals in luge or broad jump. --GRuban (talk) 18:45, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Broke records, contributed to deadly events, and has affected people. Satisfies GNG. AmericanAir88 (talk) 05:06, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
