It looks very wintry outside today. Snow's been falling all day and there's a couple inches of fresh stuff on the ground. The sky still looks completely leaden and full of snow, and it's supposed to continue to come down all day, although this being Pittsburgh, we're not supposed to get much more accumulation out of it.

It's practically balmy out, however, with the temps up to the mid-twenties (fahrenheit). Much the same tomorrow and then things plummet back down to single digits. I am very, very grateful to my sister

lyda_pearl and various people at work who have made sure I don't have to walk five miles a day on the especially cold days. I'm also very grateful to LP for making sure I have the proper cold weather gear for the times when I do have to walk. Because of her efforts, even on the very cold days, I'm still pretty warm and toasty when I get to work. Enough so, in fact, that I sometimes wish there was a shower at work. But I'll definitely take arriving at work a bit sweaty over frostbite, any day of the week.

My apartment continues to be a bit on the chilly side. But then I talk to various co-workers who have to pay their own heat and keep the thermostat set at 62 or 63 all winter long, and I realize how lucky I am to be able to wrap up in a hoody and a fleece blanket and be totally comfortable.
