I've officially been the coldest that I've ever been

[thewayne]

Three weeks ago, we had a pretty good storm hit. I had to go to Las Cruces on Friday, and as I passed the wood train trestle just down from Cloudcroft the thermometer in my car said it was 3 degrees F outside.

I thought that was pretty darn cold, and I was smart enough not to get out of my car there.

Tonight I was doing Apollo spotting at the observatory.

It was 15 degrees F.

The wind was gusting at 20 MPH.

The wind chill factor made it an effective -2 F.

Definitely gotta get better gloves and boots.

I don't know if you've heard from Russ re: her Xmas swag, but I got her Grammar Girl's book, and also the Gurps Vorkosigan! She was quite happy with both, and was considering writing a Miles story for the Yuletide exchange. I was seriously tempted to give it to her early had she committed to it.

Very cool! I'll have to order the Vorosigan book for Charle's birthday!
