The perils of unprotected flesh in the cold
It was bitterly cold yesterday and today. Really cold. I think today was our lowest high temperature of the year … and we’ve had some sustained low temperatures since January.
The wind was blistering as I walked to my car at the end of the day yesterday.
What was standing water on bare ground last week, during the few warm days we had, has now refrozen into small ponds and been recovered by snow.
The fantastic wind-blown curves have been chiseled from the fresher snow on top of the piles found everywhere.
On the way to an appointment today, I snapped a picture of our Pacifica’s dashboard, which relayed the current temperature as 2º F. (I was perhaps optimistic in hoping the heater could bring up the cabin to 70º F.)
I had to put my gloves on just to touch the steering wheel. Brrr.
