It's Cold Out There!!!!

It's crisp, it's brisk, and boy is it cold!! The forecast was for -30F, it only got down to -26F (which really isn't that bad). My favorite sub-zero, re-discovered activity from my childhood is to inhale quickly through your nose to see if you can get both nostrils to momentarily freeze shut. (stick your head in the freezer and try it!) The other advantage of the cold temperatures is that the wind doesn't howl when it is this cold, allowing the trees to remain coated in a white sparkly coat of frosty ice crystals. It is very pretty and fun to look at through the window while playing my folk's WII.
