ten below

i knew it was coming,
i had been told countless horror stories of its impending arrival. 
i just didn't really know the true extent of its wrath.
as in, january in chicago.

when it's too cold to snow, that's when it's bad. if i step out my front door into flurry of big fluffy snowflakes, i seem to forget that it's freezing out. i adopt the excitement of a six year old and have to command every muscle in my body to contain my urge to make a snow angel in the empty parking lot next to my building. 

this is going to be a trying time on my appendages. my cheeks and tip of my nose and eyelids will hate me, my fingers will curse my gloves for not working overtime. when i inhale its like my lungs will freeze solid from the air inside them. 



au revoir simone - fallen snow

wait, it gets better!
