Neverending winter

If not the coldest February ever, it is certainly the coldest I have seen on the NCR.  With a windchill reading of 20 below zero this morning and blowing snow squeezing some streets down to one lane, it was a thrilling ride to work.  The ten day forecast through the end of the month features several chances of more snow and many nights of subzero temps.  Even the hardiest natives have given up any pretense this weather is something to celebrate.  Survival is more the name of the game.  The Divine Mrs. M and I are holding on until the first week of March when we will be digging our toes into the sand in (hopefully) sunny Cancun.  Until then, our stiff upper lips will be frozen in place.
