It's cold.

We're at 11 degrees below zero here, and I am baking shepherd's pie, using up the potatoes leftover from Xmas Eve's pot roast. 
This weather would definitely kill you pretty quickly, but to think people live where Fahrenheit and Celsius meet, at 40 below...

  1. It’s 5° here and feels like -2°. This is what the Internet tells me — the one and only time I was outside today was to walk to the garage this morning and use the elliptical machine. Tomorrow’s range is supposed to be between 9° and -8°. Two-digit temperatures, please! (Positive not negative.)
