Just so it doesn’t come as a massive shock, I’ve switched the weather widget in the footer to Celsius until it stops being so cold. Fahrenheit breaks down into an intuitive decimal system when it’s hot (70s = lovely ta, 80s = unpleasantly hot, 90s = grim, 100+ = awful, awful, awful. Awful.) but when we’re below freezing it makes no sense at all. It’s -6°C at time of typing which it turns out is plenty cold enough to turn a forgotten bottle of sangrita into ice in the boot of the car.

It was so cold this morning, my furnace gave its two week notice. #coldmorning #SLC
