Frikkin Freezing
It supposedly spring here at Stevens Point, Wisconsin. It was nice when I got here Sunday night. Tuesday night it started snowing. Wednesday morning my car door was frozen shut.
You've got to be kidding me... frozen shut? The thing is that I didn't get it the first few times I tried to open the door. I unlocked the car and pulled on the door handle, frowned, unlocked the car and pulled on the door handle, frowned more, unlocked the car and pulled on the door handle, frowned a lot. Then I decided to let the caffeine kick in and look at the piece of crap rental Chevy Cobalt with the gull wings. That is when I noticed the ice around the door.
It has been 13 degrees Fahrenheit (about -10 degrees Celsius) with 10-17 mile gusty winds. Frikkin' freezing in this crazy place. Heading home for the weekend and back again on Sunday for 2 more weeks.
It's supposed to be in the single digits over the weekend. Not a place of zen for a beach bum.
