The coldest I've ever been...

The past couple days' weather has made me wonder why I moved to this state. Wind chills hovering around -30ºF, actual highs at -3ºF... literally biting cold.

It's hard to illustrate temperature in a photograph or two. Here's my stab at it:


Mist, rapid water, and ice floes roll past two ice-encrusted trees near a dam on the Fox River behind Fratellos Riverfront Restaurant, 501 W. Water St., in Appleton, Wis., Saturday afternoon, Jan. 19, 2008.


Bundled-up for subzero temperatures, Carolyn Von Ruden of Beaver Dam braves the cold walking east on College Avenue towards her and her husband's hotel.

I like the landscapey one for some reason, it just feels cold. Good luck trying to stay warm. I'll see what I can do about sending some of our 50 degree weather to Wisconsin
