Windy situation.

Lesson of the day: buy one of those really ugly ski masks that cover your whole face if you have to walk outside in northern Minnesota.



I have about a 200 yard walk from my apartment door to the library door on campus. Sometimes it is warm and sometimes it is cold and really windy.

Today on the way to class there was hardly any wind worth mentioning. It was sort of balmy and a rather comfortable walking temperature. On the way back from class was a different story. It felt 10 degrees colder and the wind was constantly in my face.

I really need to invest in a ski mask.

It was also slopping wet outside because we are having really strange weather for it being the middle of January. We had a rain record on Saturday. It has been unusually warm so the snow isn't really a powder it is more of a sticky slush. My tennis shoes are soaked so I should also invest in some galoshes which are only slightly less ugly than the ski mask.
