this keeps flashing
up on my Weatherbug...
...Wind Chill Warning Late This Afternoon Through Friday...
Northern Massachusetts And Southwest New Hampshire Will Experience Increasing Northwest Winds This Afternoon And Evening...With Speeds Reaching 20 To 25 Mph. This Will Combine With Temperatures Of 10 To 20 Below Zero To Create Dangerously Cold Wind Chill Values Of 35 To 45 Degrees Below Zero.
These Winds Chill Values Will Make It Dangerous To Be Outside For Extended Periods. Exposed Skin May Freeze In As Little As 10 Minutes. If You Must Go Outdoors...Cover Any Exposed Skin. Wear A Hat...Mittens Or Gloves...And Several Layers Of Loose Fitting Clothing.
I went over the mall to pick up something from Au Bon Pain (which Joe calls Old Bed Pan) and omg it is FREAKING cold out there! The wind coming off the canal is just brutal.
Still, I'm VERY glad I'm not up in Quebec City...currently -16 there!!!

Sorry can't help it. -16? -30 with the wind chill?
When I went outside to start the car this morning, it was -33 without the wind chill.
I've never understood why americans complain about the cold, unless they live in Alaska.

The other night, in Sudbury, ON, the thermometer outside our window was -38 celsius. That's without the windchill.
It's actually warmer in Anchorage, Alaska than it is here.

I actually haven't been too uncomfortable; less so, it seems, than many of the long-time Yankees I work with, who have been miserable the last few days. If I'm appropriately bundled up then I'm okay. The creature I feel sorry for is my dog. He's been limping during his walks because the ground is so cold--he'll favor one foot for a while, then switch to another. My mom made him a coat, but it won't arrive until today. Perhaps I ought to get him some booties too.
