camwynI went to school for four winters in Cleveland. Lake effect snow and mid-American winters combined with a lot of childhood reading about Antarctic exploration makes it hard to develop any kind of healthy respect for normal New York area winters. Even when it's cold out I'll generally only admit to 'it's kinda nippy out' or 'yeah, it's on the chilly side' out of a misplaced sense of bravado. Therefore, please understand where I am coming from when I say to you:
IT IS SMEGGING COLD OUT THERE!!!
I believe it got down to -6 F last night where I live, although I don't know for sure. I'm not sure it matters. I know it was cold enough outside that my house was cold enough to overcome the Coziness Rays given off by my fuzzy PJs and comforter. I had to get out of bed, because otherwise I'd never be able to get properly warm. (Properly warm involved wearing a sweater thick enough to stop very small caliber bullets, among other things.) I have got to thank my sister; she started my car because she had to move it out of the driveway to get to work, but she was kind enough to leave it running with the heater on and didn't even ask me. The car wasn't properly warm by the time I got there, but it was a lot more bearable than it usually is.
It's supposed to get a bit warmer this week, but for now, it's damn cold. I know it gets colder in New England and other places in the continental US alone, but by my standards, this is cold.
