Today was the kind of day where, if you stay outside long enough, your vitreous humor will freeze totally solid and you can take a fork to your eyeballs without harming them. Seriously.

But now I am warm.

Wher do you *live?* :)

Chicago. We specialize in colorful and vivid descriptions of temperatures that are really only a little bit subzero. :D

In Seattle we reserve that kind of description for rain. :) Of course, a Chicago winter would kill most of the people who live here - if they didn't kill each other skidding around on the roads, first.

I hear you - where I grew up (mountains, VA) the big problem was ice storms, on roads that were literally "unsafe at any speed." Here at least people mostly know how to drive: slow. No less aggressive than usual, just more slowly so. ;)

I miss real snow. I lived in Lebanon, outside of St Louis when I went to jr high. Drifts up to the house and giant icicles...
