So today I walked to my usual Tuesday morning class at a building located approximately a half mile from my apartment. Because weather.com said it was 4 degrees Fahrenheit, with 30-40-mph winds, I made sure I bundled up before I left. But…

I forgot that my eyes water when it's cold—and they water a LOT when it's cold and windy.

And that 4 degrees with heavy winds (that I was, incidentally, walking directly into) is REALLY FREAKING COLD.

By the time I got 3/4 of the way to the building (bearing in mind that this is normally a seven-minute walk),  I had one icicle—about the size and shape of a slightly elongated pencil eraser—hanging from each eyelid.

I LOVE Boston. :-)

Update: Here's my mom's response to this information:

coulda been worse—what if your nose was runny too?…

Enjoy the mental images,
