Oh yes, it was cold today. This is our coldest bout of Winter so far. I think the high temperature today was around 16 degrees with strong winds.
The sudden temperature drop basically means this for me:
Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. This weather bothers my rheumatism! And I'm beginning to realize (not just in the abstract) that it doesn't get any better as I get older.
Things weren't so bad this morning. The sun was shining brilliantly and it was about six degrees or something when we headed out to church. I bundled up for the two minutes or so that I would actually have to spend outside.
O heck, it didn't feel so bad. I decided to take a "selfie" to show off my smoothness in handling the cold.
"Hey, I got this! Six degrees, no big deal..."
"... with wind gusts up to forty miles an hour?! Oh, gosh! Maybe I should just get into the car!"
Okay, Winter, you win this round.
Just remember, I can still take pictures from inside the car, and no matter how cold it gets, evergreens are always GREEN! So there!
