Frigid


These last few days have been the coldest that I can remember ever experiencing in Utah (Norway was humid, bone-aching cold).  Last night, it was 40 degrees below freezing.  Coincidentally (?) I stumbled across this fascinating piece of writing about what happens when a human being freezes, but not necessarily to death.  The most sticking line: "You're not dead until you're warm and dead."

40 degrees below freezing is a weird way to say -8! It had me wondering for a moment or two...

You are a quick thinker ma! I was tricked into thinking it was -40!
