Mr. Freeeeeze!

According to the Burlington Free Press, the temperature reached 19 below at the National Weather Service offices in South Burlington. That's just short of a record low of 22 below set in 1948.

It is fu&%#@! cold out.

This is an e-mail I received this morning when I was about to walk out of my suite.

Hello,

It is 15 degrees below zero this morning. Ten minutes outside with unprotected skin WILL cause frostbite. Please make sure you cover your skin and wear a hat and gloves today. Symptoms of frostbite include cold, painful or numb skin with color ranging from very pale to dark. If you suspect frostbite, warm the skin slowly in warm, not hot air or water. Visit Student Health Services if you see blistering or darkening of the skin or if you are experiencing pain at the site.

STAY COVERED, STAY WARM AND STAY INSIDE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TODAY!!

Hopefully temps are up tomorrow.

I am taking a yoga class tonight. It is called Vinyasa Yoga. The word Vinyasa means "breath-synchronized movement."
It is only ten dollars for six weeks! Count me in. This will be a great way to reduce stress.
