White Mascara

Written a week ago at least...

It's been cold lately! Like cold even by my new definition of cold. Today when we woke up it was -24 degrees. Now it is -13, and I really don't think it'll get above 0 today. In honor of the weather, and the fact that I have unrelated things to say, I'm going to provide a list of randomness that is largely weather related.

-My glass of water left next to the bed (on the floor) was partially frozen this morning. Luckily we have lots of warm blankets on the bed.

(Since then we have added a towel to cover a cool spot near where this was resting, to aid in keeping things warmer. It has worked!)
-When we walked Chloe we were outside in the cold for long enough that we got White Mascara.




-People plug in the heaters on their car everywhere now, so this is the new normal!



-You can't go outside with wet hair unless you want it to freeze and break off! (My hair froze stiff last night, but I didn't get a picture of it...)

-It is soooooo quiet at night and the snow is so dry that the crunching of snow (like cotton balls) sounds like it will wake the neighbors.

-Dogs have to wear shoes outside, and not just because they have crazy owners who like to dress them up. But because they can get frostbite.

-I think this is just a sign of how dry it is, but regardless I am still not used to it. There is so so so much static electricity. Every time I pet Chloe. Every time I adjust the blanket or move on the couch. Owey! One time I moved a blanket when the lights were off, and it was like a fireworks show!
