Jan. 21st, 2004 10:20 amWow, it's cold out there. A balmy -1 with windchill, an improvement over the -11 of earlier this morning. In fact, though I and many others reading this will agree that witches tits are not, in fact, cold, it's fun to say that it's cold as a witch's tit out there, so I shall.
Where it really shows, though, is on those who clearly have never experienced this sort of weather, such as one I encountered while running my first calls of the day. A student sitting in a Toyota, with a distinctly...ah...southern license plate (trying not to make a stereotype for this particular state), was trying in vain to remove the frost/ice from her car with her windshield wipers, with little success.
When I left the building I'd been working in, she was still at it, with no visible change on her windshield.
Oh, well. Maybe she'll eventually have some luck.
