real cold

It's 32 below at my cabin tonight, the first real cold we've had this winter. For those who haven't had the pleasure of real cold, here's a few observations. The car light doesn't come on for a few seconds after I open the door, and the door itself doesn't close well -- something to do with the latch being a moving part. Extension cords get stiff. The moisture in cabin air instantly tops the saturation point of the outside air, and my glasses, chilled from a minute outside, freeze over with ice when I come inside. Every breath somehow feels like a nice deep breath. And you appreciate every time your car starts, and doesn't break down on the way home.
