In Chicago, you can have a week where the temperature doesn't get above freezing point for a week, and it's considered normal. So you know that when the weather forecast says "brutally cold" that you're in for something special.
Today, Saturday was the coldest day of the season so far. There forecast was for 0 to -5 Fahrenheit, with wind chills down to -20, meaning from -20 to -30 celsius. What to do? Huddle inside? No. Although my friend Jason piked, I headed downtown to watch the newly released film Cloverfield (highly recommended if you like panic, destruction, death and chaos, which I do). Lots of people were out in town, just rugged up with scarves across faces, and the usual beanies, earmuffs, gloves and warm coats.
Cold? Yes. A problem? Not really. Its actually kind of nice, a novelty- though the novelty may wear off by the end of February!

I can't even imagine anything that cold! Rug up and keep enjoying it, you'll be back here in more moderate climes in no time at all! Amelia.
