Baby, it's cold outside

Today was Day 4 of the deep freeze-- meaning the 4th day in a row that I wore the snow pants to work. Yep, I'm walking in -30C (with a wind chill in the -40s). It's not so bad provided you don't mind putting on so many layers you can barely move.

I'm not driving for 2 reasons. Number 1 is that cars really don't like to operate in frigid weather. Number 2 is that the extension cord I use to plug in the block heater is still in the shed-- the shed with the lock that's frozen. I have not been prepared to tromp through snowdrifts and mess with de-icer in this weather. Alas, I need my car this weekend so I'll be out tomorrow morning risking frostbite.
