Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Dan Miller did not have a good commute this morning:

... Three-hundred pound guy falls face-forward onto the floor of the Green Line, knocking into me on his way down and sending my poor, abused glasses sideways onto my head.

A quick walk up Tremont, the icy chill searing, intense. ...

Jenny Frazier decides she NEEDS that pair of USB-powered heated gloves:

Let's just say my walk to the subway was really, really awesome. Really.

Now I'm at work, trying to figure out if I've just not thawed completely or if this office has no heat.

But dogs love this weather

I was in the dog park this morning and the dogs were going nuts, even the 9-year-old one that usually can barely shlep across the field. She was running her butt off. What is it with cold weather and dogs!?!

Well after all, they are

Well after all, they are naked.

Pfft. It's not that cold

It was -8° at my brother's home in Haverhill, NH at 10AM today... He lives at my family's former vacation house, the place where we'd go out sledding on nights when it was well below zero. It's only cold if you aren't well layered.

A new way to measure the cold

Miss von Schtoop devises a more accurate scale (methdology).

Introducing the *expletive* cold index!

By SwirlyGrrl | Thu, 01/03/2008 - 8:37pm

The colder it is, the more expletives are involved:

One Expletive: It's d**n cold out there (25-32F)
Two Expletive: It's G-d d**n cold out there. (15-25F)
Three Expletive: Sh*T! It's G-d d**n cold out there! (10-15F)
Four Expletive: Holy Sh*T! It's G-d d**n f-----g cold out there (0-10F)
Five Expletive: Holy F-----g Sh*T! It's G-d d**n f-----g cold out there! (<0F)

If you live in Minneapolis or Barrow or Helena or Fort Kent even, just adjust the scale downward to suit your taste.

There is one at the Charlestown Navy Yard, right next to the cannon on the raised green.

No balls frozen off so far.
