Frigid temperatures...

It's a beautiful Tuesday here in Seattle; the trees are waving in the warm breeze, the sun is beaming and the air tastes almost fruity in my lungs. 

Convinced? 

Yeah. Didn't think so. 

Dudes, it's freezing in the state of Washington (actually it's below freezing). Now I know what some of you are thinking, you think I'm a west coast wimp who has nothing to complain about. But, people, I am completely unprepared. First of all, I had to scrape the ice off my car with a CD (don't worry, it was only Enya), I don't own a single pair of gloves, and who knew that there really is a difference between summer and winter tires?? By the time I got to work my fingers were frozen and my coffee was cold. Miserable. 

According to the Seattle Times, the temperature is 20F (-6C) but feels like 12F (-11C). And the worst part? It's sunny. If you ask me, that's just cruel. 

The forecast calls for more snow tomorrow and thursday, which means I will be working from home, thanks to the gigantic hill that I live on. Living on a hill in winter can only mean one thing,  ice, ice, baby.
