Springtime in the Rockies, -22 C

Twenty two below is not that bad unless there is a breeze. Then you have to cover up your nose and mouth which makes your glasses fog up so you can't see and you trip over frozen chunks of old snow. It was so cold walking into a stiff north wind yesterday that I had to keep turning around and walking backwards because my eyebrows hurt!
I know I'm a wuss. I can remember -40C when I lived outside of Edmonton almost 30 years ago (urk). I try not to think about that.

oops, "faint" would be the correct spelling ;)
