I have to drive to a client’s office today.
They say it’s -17° F outside today. (For my non-U.S. readers, that’s -27° C.) That means the air is 115° below my body temperature. If it suddenly got 45° warmer, it would still be 4° below the freezing point of water.
I am really, really glad I bought the remote starter for the car.
Update: Made it in without incident.
It’s funny how snow gets when it’s this cold. It kind of stops being wet, and is just another powdery solid.
I’m breaking one of my safety rules today. Having driven a lot of junker cars over the years, I normally like to wear clothing that’s heavy enough to keep me warm if the car breaks down and I have to spend a few hours waiting around in the cold. Today, however, I’m just wearing my usual hoodie and leather jacket. I guess I just feel daring today.

Funny, I think many of us observe this rule. The prospect of being stranded and under-dressed in sub-zero weather is unnerving.
