Is cold, ya.

plonqIt seemed that no matter which way I turned this morning, the wind managed to blow directly in my face. It was a cruel wind, both biting and numbing at the same time. After enduring it yesterday morning, I swore that I would remember my scarf today. I did remember it today, quite vividly actually. I could see it very clearly in my mind, lying on the trunk at the foot of the bed. This mental image became much more acute every time a gust caught me full in the face, and billowed out the hood on my pull-over like a balloon.
The temperature is supposed to start climbing today, so the chances are good that I will remember to wear my scarf tomorrow.
I have posted before about some of the interesting things that happen when the temperatures drop really low (exhaust fog, snow squeaking underfoot), but another curious thing that happens is that the soles of my shoes freeze when I am walking from the car to the office. By the time I get a couple of blocks from the car, my feet are producing a pronounced "clonk" sound with each step. I may as well don a pair of Dutch clogs before walking down the back hall to the office. Clomp! Clomp! Clomp! Clomp!
The only problem I have with this weather is that it is cold enough to be really unpleasant, but not cold enough to be really interesting. I wish that it would either drop another 15 degrees so that I could do some of those fun cold-weather experiments, or climb back up to normal for this time of year. According to Environment Canada, it is planning to do the latter.
