Fresh from the cold.
It nearly took my breath - I thought what, only 8.5 Celsius below zero (it was 13 to 15 in the morning but I was intelligent enough to wait till the sun comes out), but that's practically cosy! But when I got out of my car ... I managed a few minutes out there, I guess with wind chill factor it must have been at least minus 30.
So it is still icy cold here, and as snow gets blown around it looks like if there wasn't that much snow: but we've got plenty, believe you me. Pity though, it's only powder snow, which isn't much use for cross-country skiing, especially so if there's only enough to run on in snowdrifts but not on fields like e. g. this one.
