    No water this morning or yesterday morning here on Deep Creek. Taking my showers at the high school. Yay its winter!

    It was so cold Tuesday night that I insisted that my husky sleep inside the house instead of in the dog pen. Today temps of 20+ degrees seem balmy.

    What was your setup last night? And did you stay toasty?
    Zpacks Hexamid Duplex and their 10º bag (the fear i'm packing is COLD). Toasty and warm inside the bag. I tried a cheap grocery store sleeping bad with probably a zero R-value so and due to the lack of cushioning kept tossing and turning to comfort my hips. Neoair from here on out! I DO have to figure out how to keep my face warm though. And how to deal with breathing freezing cold air.

    It was so cold that Richard Simmons actually wore long pajama pants...

    Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.

    Over Christmas we learned that 20 below in Estes Park CO feels warmer than 12 above in the Old Dominion. I'm sure ya'll already knew that.

    Cool

    It was so cold this morning... something in the ABS of my Subaru froze so the ABS light lit up. Next, something in the gas line froze. I had to abandon my 1995 Subaru Outback.

    Fortunately, two Mormon missionary senior citizens helped, taking me home. They promised to return tomorrow morning to find out if tomorrow morning is warm enough for thawing out. If not, maybe they would help Sunday? I suppose I could ask

    Who will comment: only if I accompany them to church?

    That isn't nice to say. But I couldn't resist. It is all so ironic and funny.

    They are strangers here and they are the most friendly people around.

    I do hope abandoning my car, my car will not come to harm.

There are wind barrier products out there but I've been too cheap to buy them since it rarely gets that cold where I live.
    That's when you finish the run with frozen hands because the gloves have been pressed into other service.

    Polarwrap for protecting face, and, for avoiding breathing cold air.

    My car is back home.

    We had a "warm up" to 20 F.

    It was so cold that I could see what bad breath looked like.

    Remember the scene in the movie "Joe Dirt" where the dog's balls got frozen to the porch floor.
