Cold in Cambridge
January 16, 2004
Well…. I have learned some valuable lessons. This is my first experience with True Cold[TM]. So last night I decided to walk 2 miles from my friend’s place back to the bed & breakfast… at 1 am. At -30F (with windchill). It was… very cold. Lesson one was that jeans cannot, in fact, be worn in any weather. By the time I got home my legs were very, very cold. Lesson two is that a scarf is a worthwhile thing to have (at least, I’m guessing it would be) because by the time I got home sans scarf I could no longer feel my nose. Lesson three is that you look funny the next day after exposing yourself to cold. My skin is all red and is flaking.
On the upside, my jacket held up well, and I learned that socks can actually work better than gloves because they keep all your fingers together (thanks Josh!).
