Post-COTW tentfic is highly unrealistic, I am thinking

It has been ASS COLD in Chicago this weekend.

How cold, you ask?

SO COLD. Cold enough that the inside of my nose freezes when I'm outside for more than 45 seconds, and I feel like my face is going to fall off. -25ยบ F with windchill cold. The kind of cold that has the government warning people not to go outside for more than half an hour because they'll get frostbite. INUVIK COLD. With polar bears on top. I have been huddled inside trying to stay alive.

Also, I may or may not have eaten an entire packet of pre-made cookie dough in an attempt to build up my fat reserves (which, uhm, it could be argued, are already sufficient). And I'm out of clean socks. So classy, you guys.

How are YOU, my lovelies? Chilly? Currently experiencing SUMMER because you are in the southern hemisphere, and therefore making me want to stab you with an icicle?

Ahahaha, in retrospect? I probably stole that thought from you, because I vaguely remember you posting about it. Oops. Also, yesterday my friend called me from Boston and wanted to have a fight about who was colder. <3

THAT IS NOT A REAL TEMPERATURE OMG. Why do they not cancel classes when it gets this evil outside? Clearly, NATURE HERSELF does not want us to leave our warm cosy beds.

That's why we got them sleeping in one sleeping bag, baby. Sharing heat!


It's apparently 30F here, but I'm cold because I'm sick. *shivers*

COLD COLD COLD. I honestly don't think I have a nose anymore, it's so cold.

(and yet the heat in my apartment is consistently on too high, so when I wake up I am SLOW and STUPID and just want to sleep forever. BOO HISS WINTER!)

Hey, it's up to -7F without the windchill here! (um, with the windchill its -25F)

The only upshot of it being so freaking cold is how sunny it is. You can freeze your tits off just looking outside, but at least you can get happily snow blinded *g*.

I am so glad I decided to move to North Carolina instead of Chicago, my second-choice destination! I miss the city, but being cold sucks, and that's a fact!

I must be the only person around here who enjoys the cold. Although it did get kind of ridiculous this weekend (when I went downtown). The insides of your nose freezing? Not pleasant.

God! You can have my summer! Temps in the mid-30s (celcius - about 95F), thick haze of bushfire smoke from whichever part of the country is burning at the moment, thunderstorms that roll past without leaving a drop of rain, level three water restrictions, whine, whine, whine. I can't even conceive of the idea of snow. How about we find a nice new planet with a lovely temperate climate?

I literally did not leave Pierce the entire weekend - which is alarming.

Then this morning I had built the cold up so much that I put on 3 pairs of pants, my snow boots, and 5 layers on top, including a thermal fleece. I overdid it... I was actually warm walking to class except for the whole my nose loosing all feeling for an hour bit.

You watch the superbowl last night? I'm 3 doors down from my RH's apt, so I heard all the shouting early on, then the groaning, then the resigned silence which soon turned into a football game in the hallway outside my door as I was chatting with my prophecy peeps...

It was so hot the other day I COULDN'T MOVE. I'm mainlining books about the Arctic to distract myself. Bring on the icicles! (Hi, I'm from NZ, so I like to talk about the weather.)
