The past couple days here in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York have been really cold. I shouldn't complain, it could be Minnesota, where Andrew and Jen live, as well as Monica Gray and Seth's grandparents. But for me, it's cold. It has been a consistent 9 to 11 degrees for the past 36 hours or so, which isn't that bad, except it is magnified by powerful 20mph winds. The wind is so strong (it just sweeps across the fields, only rarely buffered by the occasional stand of trees), that it blows away whatever precipitation falls. It supposedly snows but it is so fine and dry that it hardly seems to build up, it just 'blows away'...
The neighboring town of Gorham
Tests of Manliness:
1: Chopping wood and hauling it in
2: Cleaning up after yourself (Spunky, the neck warmer, is helping out)
3: Running in this weather (Seth is equipped with ski goggles and a big fluffy face mask). This is my limit--I am definitely inside with my tea and oatmeal :o)
