Weather.com says it's -3. Accuweather says it's -12 but I think they must have their equipment up on the Mesa where it's colder, because I don't think it's that cold down in the main part of town. It's cold enough to freeze those little hairs inside your nose, though. But as the saying goes, at least it's a dry cold! ;D
I hope all you Northeasterners on my flist are keeping safe and warm right now. I don't know if/how many of you are affected by this ice storm, but I hope it's not many and that things resolve quickly for you. You all have my utmost sympathy.
We don't really get ice storms here. The first time I ever experienced one was in 1990, the year we lived in Baltimore. I remember stepping out onto what I thought was a wet porch to retrieve the morning paper, and having my feet go out from under me because what I assumed was liquid water was actually the frozen kind. I went down hard on the steps, and I have a permanent dent in my backside from that fall. I have no desire to ever experience another ice storm.
