Can I thaw out now? Please? I can't feel my toes...

Winter had hit Tri-Town in full force, as it has been more or less snowing for a week straight.  There is easily half a foot of snow on the ground, if not more.  By the way, my car has rear wheel drive and therefore is lots of fun to drive the snow and ice.  As it stands, the last week has had regular highs of about twenty degrees, which means that we're not getting the usual melts, on top of the continuous storm that keeps dumping the white stuff.

I grew up in the Palouse, which is an area know for white winters.  I'm used to snow.  I love the snow.  However it's been YEARS since I've been in a snow storm like this one.  As a result I am cold and somewhat miserable, and yet loving every single second of it, if that makes any sense.  I love how magical the snow makes everything seem.  I love the layer of white that makes the world seem pristene and pure. 

But the cold, oh lord, the COLD is starting to get to me.  I don't like to be cold, and I'm assuming that that's the Cuban in me.  As such, the highs in the twenties (with a wind chill making things feel closer to ten or colder) are getting straight to my core and freezin me.  The footy pajamas have been pulled out, folks.  I'm wearing pajamas with FEET. 

And it's only going to get colder.
