Baby, it's REALLY cold outside

Just thought I should mention:

It so fucking cold I feel... well, actually I can't really feel much.
It is currently -16 degrees Celcius outside which is 4 degrees warmer than it was at 6am this morning when I was waiting for my train.

Some things I am experiencing for the first time:

frozen nose hairs - it feels very very weird
skin so dry it is threatening to drop off in chunks
the urge to swear loudly every few seconds ... not sure if I'm doing this to reassure myself I'm alive or if it's just instinctual
feeling like my face is being whipped as an Arctic wind lowers the temperature even further
laughing with pure joy when I finally get warm. Nothing beats THAT feeling.

Nina, I can't believe it's so cold there! That's f--ing insane. We had snow here a couple of days ago and it hasn't melted yet.
Regarding your previous post, I'd like to say that I feel like quite a voyeur too - I check your blog almost daily. I think your writing's great.

Stay warm.
