My good heavens this is a cold town. We have a thick blanket of snow on the ground, and it hasn't been warm enough during the day to melt it away. Most of my really warm clothing is in boxes somewhere in the middle of the country, and my shoe choices are either ultra-light Nikes or Gucci suede half-boots that I can't wear in the snow. So my feet get cold. At least I have a polar fleece vest to wear under a coat (again, the choices here are limited, but we have layers...) and a wool scarf. Stocking cap and gloves are in boxes, also.

I made some bad choices coming home yesterday, and ended up standing at an semi-enclosed Metro station for fifteen or twenty minutes. It reminded me of one of the ice rinks in Wenatchee, WA, that was open on both ends, and doubled as a sub-zero wind tunnel. I came home, wrapped myself in a blanket and ate a warm dinner until my ears stopped hurting, then took a warm shower and went to bed.

Maybe I'll carry a cat in my backpack for extra heat production.
