It's cold out

That's the only way to describe it, unless you want to add some adverbs, like "very" or "incredibly" or "insanely."

The other morning, the weather lady looked at a map covered with 20 degree observations and said it was warm. Yesterday, it was 21 degrees, and she said "It's actually quite comfortable out there." Did she grow up in Antarctica or something?

If it's so warm and comfortable out there, I want to see her relaxing in a lounge chair in shorts and a hawaiin shirt with a pina colada at her side underneath the naked trees amid the remnants of snow.

Maybe this is yet another example of the media trying to put a happy spin on bad news. I have no other context in which to understand 20 degrees as being comfortable unless the weather lady is just nuts. In any event, I wish she'd stop saying it because it only magnifies the reality of how cold and uncomfortable 20, anything below, and anything up to about 40 degrees really is.

This was one of the more inane things I could have written about, but I figured it was a gentle way of easing you into the ranting workings of my brain.
