Suddenly Winter

It was about 20 degrees warmer at the North Pole than it was here in Mendon today. That is really because all the cold air at the top of the world sort of tilted to the left, and the edge of the mass lading right on top of the Finger Lakes.

Serious cold has mass. It can be a bit like water, something that you have to make your way through. It is not just as simple as going out for a walk, you push through it, using force. Thing is , it pushes back. Cheeks and ungloved hands last for about a minute in minus double digit windchill. Puppy paws sort of the same way - we were not outside all that much at all today.
