I took the dogs for their walk about 4:00 pm. It was maybe 12 or 13 degrees (F).
It can really make you feel alive though....especially when your skin thaws a half hour later and it gets that burning / ice needles thing going as feeling returns to your ears, fingers and toes. Really lovely.
OK....nice positive thoughts about bitter cold weather:
- Reduced chance of heat stroke...duh.
- The weeds in the yard are dead. (Maybe only dormant.)
- You barely feel it when you hit your thumb with a hammer.
- Blood coagulates faster on wounds.
- Fewer overweight people wearing spandex.
- No one expects you to be painting your house.
- No mosquitoes, deer flies or horse flies.
- Brennie makes GREAT soups and chili !!!!!!!
- Save a bundle on air conditioning bills.
- Better to stand outside naked than listen to Bing Crosby sing "White Christmas". That's right up there with watching the "Wizard of Oz".
- Snuggling under a down comforter...oh yeah.
- Everyone else has a cold too.
- Hot chocolate with marshmallows.
- No heat rash or poison ivy. In fact far fewer body rashes.
