We´re bumbling our way around. Sometimes it´s funny. Read on.

Cold damn. It's way, way below zero here. Like, two or three degrees. But still. It makes your face hurt to answer the door. But we could have it worse. I heard some guys on the radio who monitor the weather station on the top of Mt. Washington. It was 40-something below up there, with a wind chill, the QB rating of weather, of 82-below. (Actually, as of this writing, it's 88-below. Actually, says the handy glossary provided, it only feels like 88-below. Comforting.)


Do you know what 82-below is like? As in, how it's different from, say, 25-below? Or 55-below? Here's an example: the weather guys took a bucket of water outside. They threw it up in the air. Nothing came down.

I mean, except for the bucket. Even at 82-below, buckets will not disappear. Sorry to disappoint.
