Right now feels like minus 30F. It's been years since it has been this cold during the day.

Even if the house catches fire no way I'm going outside. "Ah that's nice and warm."

Good thoughts and vibes for anyone working outside today. Thank you.

I have a heated mattress pad; so fire it up and spend the day bundled in the comforter.
