Jack Frost sawing off your nose...

This, from Environment Canada:

city of Toronto 3:24 PM est Thursday 15 January 2004 Wind chill warning for city of Toronto continued Extreme wind chills today and tonight.

...

Caution is strongly advised when being outdoors as frostbite on exposed skin may occur in as little as 5 to 10 minutes.

This is getting ridiculous. It's cold. Time to switch to a real winter coat.

And so, of course, Mark and I picked Thursday night to walk to Loblaws and do our shopping. But I'm happy to report we returned with noses intact. In fact, I think we were a little overdressed; I nearly died of heat exhaustion in the Loblaws before I got all my various layers off. Or almost all of them.
