I went out at lunchtime, which was clearly a Bad Idea, because now I am freezing. Residual cold! As all Canadians between Alberta and Quebec well know, we have been hit with a brutal cold spell, and things are very, very cold. Although not as cold as they are in Winnipeg (poor blue_lotus - what a terrible time for a work trip!). This morning I realized what had been missing from winter so far - the experience of coughing every time I took a breath outside! Ah winter.

I should really just rename my journal The Weather Network.

I bought a pair of serious winter gloves before skating on the weekend. There was a sale at the sports store at the mall (can't remember what it's called) and I got a pair of gortex gloves for $35 (normally $70, they say). I figured it was worth it to not be miserable in frozen Ottawa. I'm doing pretty well at staying warm, with warm boots, down-filled coat, hat with ears and the gloves. I'm certainly not *attractive*, but I am warm :)

In this weather, warm is much more important than attractive.

Agreed. In this weather, "attractive and freezing" looks the same as "stupid".
