-43 degrees Celsius!!

[streussal]

So it was very cold when I got off work this morning.

-43 degrees Celsius.  43 below.  (Celsius and Fahrenheit line up at -40)

(I started my car 15 minutes before shift change, so I would not have to wait 20 minutes for the engine to be warmed enough to drive, and no, it was not happy after spending 12 hours not plugged in.  It started but like.  Just barely.)

In case you are wondering what 42 below feels like: really fucking cold.  Like actually physically painful.  I own a very warm coat and I’m only outside for very brief periods.  And my heater works.  So I’m fine!  It’s just.  So cold.  (I think I need to get new driving gloves though.  The ones I have are not cutting it.)
