Reminding me why I don't live in Alaska

For the last day or so we've been doing that fun thing called "freezing to death on account of it's zero degrees outside."

Now, snow I don't mind. I like snow. I don't like driving in snow, but I like the principle of snow, and the way it makes everything look white and beautiful and soft. I like the way it makes sure that in the spring our reservoirs are full. I can even be happy for the people who choose to engage in foolish and/or suicidal endeavors like snowboarding. Those people are thrilled by the snow and hey, as long as they don't try to drag me off the side of a cliff then power to 'em.

The cold? The cold I mind so very much. It's not even right. The inside of my nose was not meant to freeze like this. Nor were my pinkies meant to turn white, then black, and then fall off. Not that they've done that yet but I'm sure it's not far off.

Have I mentioned that I'm going to Hawaii? Because I am. Let's hope I have some toes left by the time I get there.
