The secret lives of icicles

[xaara]

If anyone is curious as to how cold it is here in Madison, Wisconsin, here's a clue:

VERY

However, that means I made the cover story of the Daily Cardinal, one of the student newspapers, by being in the right place at the right time and by fucking freezing. That picture of the person who is completely covered except for her eyes? Yes. That's me. *waves*

(Incidentally, that's the hat I just finished knitting, and it kept my ears nice and toasty.)

That's -35 F, yes? Wow. Here it's only 5 F or so, but the proximity to the sea makes it much colder. I don't think I could cope with -35.

I need a hat like that, the one I wear doesn't cover my ears properly and they were about to fall off this morning.

Your hat looks very warm. You look very cold. Is your school trying to kill you? I think you may have to consider that possibility, Wisconsin or no...

I love your coat/hat. I bought an amazingly furry beast of a hat in Scotland and it's awesome. Except that it messes my hair up and I usually only emerge from the house in winter when I have like a date or plans or something that requires me styling my hair.

Cute hat!

Just wondering if your package made it to you.

Stay warm :)

Ooh it's so much cuter then the picture. You look like you're having a blast! (haha had to add in some Pop humor right there)

You'll be glad to come visit in March I'm sure. In the meantime, dress in a t-shirt and stay in the apartment. :)

Cool! I meant that as in ... neat! :p

But yes, cold. Wow. I don't think I cold handle that. (I don't have a memory of being in anything less than in the +20s.) But hey, the article said that it's the coldest week because it's the exact middle of winter, so it will only get warmer, right? :P
