wind chill
Yesterday, the wind chill was in the -20°F range. Of course, when it gets colder than about +10°F, it all really feels about the same. Your fingers start to tingle and ache after a few minutes, your lungs burn with each breath, your face feels as if someone is rubbing icy sandpaper against it. Yes, we Minnesotans are a hardy lot.
This makes up for January’s freakishly warm weather. In spades.
Don’t forget–the 2006 Million Writers Award have opened for nominations. Start thinking about the stories published on-line in 2005 that deserve the nod! (If you’ve got one you’d like to spotlight, let me know through a comment or e-mail). The process this year is exceptionally open–you can see all the stories that have been nominated, and by whom, making it a great directory of the best short fiction published on the web.
