Speaking Of Life-Sucking Cold

Editorial silliness: I try never to use the word frigid when referring to extreme cold. Women have to be careful about words like that. ::cough::]

You know how the weather people keep telling you that we're not having winter?

Well, I beg to differ.

Right now, we're struggling in the double digits. As in, negative double digits. On the "warmest" reporting outdoor thermometer, it's -12.9. While we made it above zero today, it lasted about 27 seconds and then, it only reached 2.7.

The last time I let Ben (my precious pup) out for a bathroom break, I swear he came in with icicles dangling from his... er.. uh... equipment.

Now excuse me while I try to fit myself into the woodstove to thaw my toes.
