Right now it's 10 degrees, which is only two degrees cooler than it was at noon. I'm not sure we broke 15 degrees today.
Carrie had to point out the weatherbug forecast for today said "bitterly cold". Ya know, just in case we got the impression that since the sun was shining it was safe to wear shorts (and I'm not lying when I say that some people probably were...I've seen people wear shorts and flip flops with snow on the ground and a windchill below zero).
Speaking of the windchill, we were blessed to have the twenty mile an hour winds with gusts to forty die down last night (did I mention that yesterday it was 52?), so the windchill stayed above freezing. Because, let me tell you, when you live in the middle of a cornfield and there's nothing to block the wind, the windchill becomes the temperature you go by.
Nothing says "fuck it, I'll use a magazine for toilet paper because I am NOT leaving the house" like -10 degrees when the wind blows.
Unless you're one of those hardcore stupid people I mentioned above that shuns shoes and pants. Then you taunt frostbite just to look at the DVDs at Walmart.
