Today is January 17, and it is currently -12 F in the Twin Cities. Yesterday when we got up for church, the thermometer in the truck read -16.
I don’t mind the cold so much. I don’t really have to spend a lot of time out there. But here is what I have noticed.
Once the weather gets below zero, I really don’t care what the exact temperature is. -2 feels the same to me as -22. In fact, I would prefer not to know. It is a bit harder on the psyche, but not necessarily on the body. So I would prefer to step outside on a brisk -22 day, and think “Gee. it must be around zero today”.
It all feels the same to me.
The only time I am able to tell the difference, is when the gas bill shows up.
