Then Mother Nature puts in her two cents. And her two cents kind of tip the scales into a new reality. Cold. Wicked. Bitter. Crazy. Cold.
I was in it yesterday. Will be in it today. Every step is a job. Don't expose yourself. Don't fall. Don't break anything. Wrapped up in layers; sweaters, scarves, coats, hats, gloves. It is very extreme. Especially for your extremities.
All I can say is this kind of weather makes you appreciate the simple things: a hot cup of coffee, a steaming bath, a warm meal, a good book. Extreme weather is a challenge and a simplification. Can you make it through? And how will you stay warm?
