the real arctic tundra

today in chicago it is FREEZING. when i went downstairs at 7:00 to take leonidas out, the thermometer outside the house said .1 degrees. POINT 1 degrees. when i got to work, this is what weather.com reported:


if you can't read it, that's "Feels Like -21". poor leonidas was doing really well in the snow until today...today it is just too cold for his little paws to handle. obviously, he'll have to go out sometime to use the...facitilities...but this morning it wasn't happening. maybe i'll try again later when we reach the high for the day...12. at least it's still double digits (for now!).

This makes me hope wholeheartedly that I never have to live in Chicago... I would die.

i don't think my body has ever been exposed to such an extreme. i don't know that i would survive
