Oh yes, that’s certainly ice. I woke up this morning thinking it was going to be cold. But, 37 degrees? Wow. That really took me by surprise. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I love the cold weather but this might be pushing it. As soon as I stepped foot out the door, it felt like I got hit with the door from a freezer—right in the face! The cold air entered my chest and I struggled to breathe for a bit. Instantly my lungs froze over and the condensation exiting my mouth made me look like a chain smoker. As I walked by the cars parked on the street, they had all been covered in a layer of ice from the dew that had built up earlier during the night. It was crazy and it took nearly 10 minutes for my cars thermostat gauge to even budge just one notch above the red from cold. I couldn’t even turn the heater on yet, otherwise it was just going to blow cold air into my car. Ugh! It was brutally painful. They always say it’s easier to cool off than it is to warm-up, or is it the other way around? I don’t know. All I know is it was cold—like Antarctic cold.
It does however make me think of how the heck we ever survived without heaters. I can understand not having a heater in the house, but in the car? Man that must have been rough at times. Thank the man above, or the higher-spirits, or whichever you lay your faith into for coming up with that gig. Matter of fact, I’ve even got me a floor heater here in my office for my toes which typically turn into ice cubes. I can’t wait to bolt out of the office and crank that heater up.
