A friend had to walk a neighbor's dog today, as his neighbor is out of town overnight. He reported that it was -6 with the wind chill factor.
I went out today and walked, wearing the inner "fake-fur-lined" shell of my northern winter coat, and a cheap pair of stretchy knit gloves. It felt AWESOME to have that sun on my face while walking in the cold air. I really miss New England on days like this. I don't miss the snow. I don't miss the weeks of dim, dull, cloud-covered daylight when the wind is blowing endlessly and you can't feel the tissue to wipe your nose anymore. But days like today - just perfect.
