That cup of hot coffee hit the spot this morning on December 1st, 2010. It hit -25 Degrees Celsius or -13 Fahrenheit last night. There was also a 6 to 7 km per hour breeze that drove the feel (windchill) of the temperature to below -30 Celsius…

This was said as I had a frozen chill go down to my toes thinking about eating an ice cream cone with the snow whirling in the wind and the thermometer with all the mercury in the bulb part at the bottom…
