Brrr - Part III

Temperature outside right now: -4 (-20 Celsius)
Wind Chill: -25 (-32 Celsius)

The houses here were not built to withstand these temperatures. You can feel the cold if you walk close to the walls. Our landlord advised us to leave our faucets dripping and our cupbords open to avoid frozen pipes.

For once, it was too cold outside for our dog. I even put a sweater on him (which he doesn't like, but he needed today). The problem was his feet. A few blocks into our walk today, he started doing the ground is too cold to stand on dance (the one where he picks up his feet at different intervals so as to avoid contact with the ground). We quickly made our way back home.

Tonight is supposed to be the worst night, then we are supposed to "warm up". We still will be below freezing, which is colder than usual, but I will take it.
