Brrr.....It's Cold

Gosh it's cold out here. A windy 30 degrees Fahrenheit. [That's around -1 degrees Celsius for all those in India].

This morning I couldn't turn the key and open my car door! So out came the lock de-icer and we had to lubricate and thaw the lock mechanism, in order for me to even get into the car.

It's only around 5:30 p.m. in the evening now and already it's gotten so dark, cold and gloomy outside that a person would think it was around midnight or something.

Am I the only one who's already longing for hot, summer days so early in winter?

A co-worker in office complained to me today. She said, "You know, it's really depressing. It 's like we live in darkness these days. Drive to work in the morning around 8 a.m. - when it's still dark and by the time I get back home in the evening - it's dark again. Oh for a little bit of sunshine!"

I totally agree with her. But I guess I'm lucky in that I live pretty close to my workplace. Which means I do manage to sneak in a bit of sunshine when I drive home for lunch.
