So stinking cold

In years past when it has been cold out, I will call my mom or Carl or anyone with a sympathetic ear and say: "It's like 5 degrees outside. I'm freezing!"  Well, never again will I use that phrase so glibly.  Yesterday it was actually 5 degrees outside and I really did think I was going to get frostbite.  5 degrees is a lot colder than I had ever imagined.  Next time the weatherman says that the high will be a balmy 5 degrees, I am staying inside and drinking hot coco instead of going to the (outdoor) mall to find Carl's final Christmas present.

Yikes! I remember driving to school in Logan many times and seeing on the big clock outside of the bank "it is -4 degrees." Uhhhh.......never moving back there, that's for sure!!
