Brrr!
It is so true that cold is relative. If it gets down to the 60's in Thailand, people get out their winter jackets!

Low of 7F today and tomorrow. 3-4 with wind chill.
It’ll be mid-next week before we see temperatures north of freezing, if even just for an hour or so in the afternoon.

Proud of the little guy, today he had to have walked 2-3 miles in the 10-15 degree temps. Of course, it was broken up every half mile with a stop at the Lego store, then FAO Schwarz, then the M&M’s store, then Hershey’s…

With a stop for M&M’s at Saks, then Macy’s, then Anthropologie…
Dad did get to stop at Sean’s Irish Pub for lunch…

Daughter is currently at O'Hare. Said everytime they deplane a jet into the terminal, it's like somebody left the freezer door open

Temperature is -1 F right now. Tuesday being pizza night for us (It's BOGO Tuesday), I went downstairs to place my order. I walked down the stairs and out. 10 feet to the take-out counter of the restaurant. I was wearing a sweater.
Other people waiting for pizza looked at me like I was crazy for being so lightly-dressed, unaware that I live, literally, upstairs. I was outdoors for about 10 seconds.
But yeah, it's colder than a kiss from my first wife (RIP).

Ha, why is it always colder at the gas pump?

It was about 8 outside with a -5 wind chill when I ran this evening. It wasn't bad. I've run in worse.

To a certain point, once we're moving things are fine. When it's so cold my glasses keep frosting up to the point I can't see....then it's time to re-think.
