Defenestrating Thoughts from the Bivouac

Actually it’s much colder than freezing. Yesterday afternoon it was minus 4 degrees Fahrenheit. And last night it was minus 18!

When it’s cold you have to suffer through annoying things like your nostrils freezing.

But when it’s this cold lots of things are different. While I was shoveling the snow off the driveway yesterday, as soon as I removed the snow, the residual water froze immediately leaving me with a very slippery driveway.

And all the outdoor light bulbs stopped working.

And we had frost on the inside of the windows.

The strangest was tonight while driving home; it was so cold that the LED display in my car didn’t work properly. The display took a few seconds to update; it was really weird. I wish I could have played with it more, but I had to pay attention to the skating rink of a road.
