OK, so I woke this morning, and it was -22 degrees with windchill. ARE YOU KIDDING????
And Pittsburgh did not get the worst of it. I hear it gets worse by -10 to -40 degrees below.
I step out the house this morning to warm up the car. At first, seems like no big deal. Then as I am running around the car scraping ice off, the burning sting sets in.
I run back inside for shelter. saved.....
right.
Next time, I get all my warm gear back on, then my headphones to give me a break for the freezing silence of 6:00 am. When I finally get into the car and close the door, after about 15-20 seconds, I see my headphone cables are stiff as a board. WHAT? They will not go under the seat belt. You have got to be kidding!
I drive to work and feel numb the entire 20 minute drive and the car never gets above (C) Cold. Then I have a good 100 yard walk to get into the building. The first thing I notice is the burning smell of cold air, along with the blinding wind of "Go Back Home Now"!
While thinking of writing this, many thing went through my mind. But the most prominent was thinking "How on earth, could our fore fathers, 100-300 years ago carry on life, and several wars in these conditions."? If they had to go through anything close to this, i am in AWE!
But I also can't help but wonder how the people that have lived here their whole lives just don't mind such a climate.
