Ch...ch...ch...chchch.
While I was in Wisconsin over the holiday, a friend emailed me from Norway and said it was 14 degrees there. I went to the living room window and looked out at the thermometer on the shed. It was 5. He got noooo sympathy from me.
At this very moment here in NYC, it is something like -11.
Last Saturday morning it was so cold in my apartment that the lights exploded when I turned them on. Four bulbs in all – two in the living room and two in the kitchen.
On both Friday and Saturday my hair conditioner was frozen and I had to thaw it in hot water before I could get any out of the bottle.
Argh. It seems ridiculous, but it’s forty degrees colder than freezing! It’s the same as the difference between 30 degrees and 70!
May Heaven bless the inventor of the electric blanket.
