COLD!!!!!!!!

Yesterday was cold. Almost as cold as one particular day when I was here in January when I swear that out in the wind it felt colder than I have ever felt wind in my life before. The thermometer in the car said it was 7 degrees (of course, that is farenheit). When we went out with friends Shelly & Mark to a Christmas programme at his church, it was so cold that walking the short distance from the car into the church gave you that feeling in your face and teeth like when you bite into cold ice-cream and it tingles in quite a painful manner. But that was nothing compared to what it must be like outside right now. Jamie has just driven off to work and on the radio it said "it is 6am here in Detroit, and outside it is 3 degrees with a wind chill of MINUS EIGHT!!!" Checking on the internet conversion scales (as I do every day for everything from miles, pounds, ounces, gallons as well as temperature in this country that for some reason has not fully embraced the metric system) and that gives me celcius numbers of minus 16 and minus 22!!! I will be staying at home today where it is very cozy and warm unless it gets warmer outside.
