Brrrr!

It was around -20F or -30C this morning when the girls and I headed out for our run. My headlamp froze to my hat, for the first time this year. When I later left for school, the sun was rosy pink, and the snowy street looked magical. Having no wind not only makes cold tolerable; it makes landscapes very picturesque. Snow sits on trees for a long time, making them look like they are from a Christmas card.

On cold days, you can even see the moisture freezing out of the air. If you look at a sunny spot and sort of zonk your eyes out like you are looking at a stereogram, you can see that the whole atmosphere is dancing with pixie dust. :)

Ya know that kinda sounds like your drinking the magic cool aid, but laking a picturesque area where one can see the northern lights, perhaps it's just jealousy.
