Dang, it's 🧊 cold out

I had an outside task to do this morning. I nearly froze my fingers even though I was out there only about ten minutes. It's a whopping 12°F right now. I didn't think I'd be out there long enough to matter so I skipped wearing gloves. Halfway through I came back inside to warm up and find a pair. Even my work gloves were better than nothing.

I needed to bring in some plant pots from the front steps before snow covers them. I forgot about them last year and had to dig them out after the first snowfall.

I also had to put down some ice melt. That rain we had a couple of days ago has turned to ice and left some treacherous slippery spots. Don't ask how I know this.
