Frozen monkeys plummet to earth. And shatter.

It's actually gotten COLDER. It's -31C with a -46 windchill. And that's in the middle of the freaking city at nearly NOON!

I took the bus this morning. My bike doesn't work well in these temperatures and my glasses fog up too much with my scarves to allow for safe navigation on the roads. As it was I was guessing where the sidewalks might be. Since most of them are still knee-deep in snowdrifts, it's difficult to tell if I found them or not. I have a 5 block walk at the end of my bus ride down a residential road. I gave up on the sidewalks and just went for the road. It's only ankle-deep there. If it weren't absolute zero out there it'd be great sledding powder.
