This is what weather.com is warning me about today:
High disruption due to extreme low temperatures for Saarland Und Rheinland-Pfalz
In den kommenden beiden Nchten ist verbreitet mit Frost zwischen -10 und -14 Grad zu rechnen. Auch tagsber sind keine positiven Temperaturen zu erwarten.
What does "high disruption' mean? Disruptive to life? Highly disruptive rosy red cheeks eveywhere? High amounts of cell phone service disruption (don't be silly; we don't have Verizon Blackberrys here...)? I am apparently countering this warning because everything I've done during this weather has been productive. Take that, weather dot com alert!
What I'm really liking about this weather is that everyone is walking around with their Freeze Faces on. You know, when it's so cold outside that it kind of looks like everyone is trying to smile because of the way that their faces squinch up, and draw back many of the same muscles as smiling does, as the cold wind bashes them in the face ? Ultimately, the Freeze Face just makes people look like they're probably about to be sick.
| Example of my freeze face. It just looks like something is horribly wrong. Also, I've developed an allergy to my pillow, so don't mind my eyes today. |
That, and also that if you're out and about in this chill, you have to really mean it. I like that extra bit of purpose. "Yeah what?! I'm out here! I have important business, man!"
