Cold Outside

You know it's cold outside when:

1. You can see you breath the minute you step outside
2. You take in your first breath and the cold air makes you cough
3. Taking that first breath of air makes your nose hairs freeze
4. You car takes 20 min to warm-up enough to drive
5. You dog can't stay outside long enough to do his business
6. There's no cloud in the sky, sun shining and you feel no warmth from the sun
7. You look like Rudolph every time you walk into a building
8. You do a happy dance when the 7 day forecast shows temperatures of 10 to 20 degrees at the end of the week.

It is more then freezing here. The past few weeks have been frigid and I have experienced all of the above events every single time I step outside (or watched my dog outside). The high the other day in Anchorage was -10 and on our way out to Palmer last weekend we drove through an area that was -30. I'm thinking that 10 degrees sounds pretty hot right now and am so thankful I don't live in Fairbanks where it by far colder.
