Right now its doing -3 C but its raining glazing ice and storming at the same time, it will come back down to -27 C by the end of the day apparently.
The lowest we've hit is -28 so far this year. I'm disappointed, I want to hit -40.
It was so rainy today that by the time I walked to the vet from my car parked three blocks away to pick up cat food and back, my all of my clothes (jacket and shirt underneath) are drenched and dripping, my jeans have quadrupled in weight and are hanging so limp they're getting caught under my shoes, my just walking along the concrete is wet enough to cause my shoes and socks to become completely flooded, and my hair is flat, in front of my face and dripping in a constant stream onto my face and glasses. That would have been a total of six minutes according to the parking meter.
Also, this rain is so cold it stings like dry ice.
The same situation has occurred here, Hell frozen over in an agonizing wave of chill - in the form of rain. For the majority of today I had worn only a T-shirt - strange for me, actually, since I'm the type you'd think would never be caught dead without a jacket - and so at the end of the school day I had been too lazy to put my other layers of clothes on, so I had made the mistake of simply grabbing all of it and heading off to the bus. Immediately after leaving I had been greeted with an icy bitchslap, so cold that I had clung my outerwear and soon enough gave up, putting it on, still freezing afterwards.
Cold enough for me to shout "Holy shit, I'm going to fucking freeze to death" (Rather distasteful, but ah well. This is coming from me, one of the most distasteful folks you could run into, lel). Temperatures have, evidently, risen despite this.
Ah, I'd like to see sunshine myself. Sunshine appears to have the ability to magically wash away any worries or otherwise negative emotions inside of me. Guess this is why my therapist suggested that I might have seasonal affective disorder.
Here is still no snow at all. Hey, Europeans, do you have snow there?
Anyway, I think I am glad about this. It is some kind 'warm' (+4-6°C), sometimes humid, sometimes dry and I am finally not dealing with health problems which appear when freezes and snow comes. Gray gloomy skies don't look cheerful, since I REALLY ADORE sun I am barely amused of them, but I think it's a price I can spend for feeling comfortable of weather in general...

Apparently there's plenty in some areas of the Scottish Highlands, can't wait to get there!
