The thermometer on our patio showed -17° C (1° F) when I left for work today. Clear icicles hung down from the car's bumber. The bottle of water, I keep inside the car, had turned into a frozen cone overnight. Smoking chimneys foged the morning air. And stupid me, I went outside in this cold, wearing slippers, a jacket, but no gloves, trying to take pictures of the bleakness... I'm still chilled to the bones!
