Cold unlike no other

We flew into Boston last night, greeted by temperatures around -4C. No problem. My very fetching Nintendoworld hat was enough to keep me warm. While watching NBC's excellent Thursday night line, however, the local news kept shouting about plummeting temperatures.

And they were right.

It was 7F, today -- -14 on a more sensible temperature scale. But the windchill took it down to a lung-freezing MINUS 26C! No snow, just clear blue skies and an inability to breathe. No wonder the Pilgrim settlers had a hard time of it when they first arrived.

They say that it should warm up tomorrow, just in time for us to take advantage of the weak dollar and go shopping. For warmer clothes.
