It takes me 10 whole minutes to walk to the store, and a little longer to get back because the return trek is uphill. It took me a full HOUR to get home that day. During that time, temps went below zero, windchill set in, and all hell broke loose.

I don't ever want to get caught in something like that again. I couldn't see a foot in front of me face.

so for comparison, Blu, Robert, help me out. That would be every day this past January well into February. The difference would be that the temperature would start at -10C and get down to -20, and we haven't started counting the windchill. I think if you wore a kilt in that, you wouldn't be able to pee for about an hour after, if you get my drift.
