ironymaidenThe average January low in Seattle is 36F/2.2C. It's 18F/-7.8C right now. while it rarely gets terribly hot here (less rare these days, thanks climate change), we're considered to be the same growing region as Atlanta. most years we don't get a hard frost at all so this feels intense.
the dog loves it outside and doesn't want to come in. I own appropriate clothes but ow I hate when it hurts your sinuses to breathe the air.
yesterday's light snow didn't stick but there's ice everywhere. fortunately living by the hospitals means clean roads and sidewalks; our neighbor says that we also get the very highest level of service from the power company.
we took the last dog walk tonight as an excuse to make extra-rich hot chocolate with cream and peppermint syrup and sit by the fire.
