The good thing about this winter: we’re getting Chinook after Chinook, which means it is substantially warmer than it was last winter. I think we were in the -20s around this time last year; we’ve been in the 20s/30s lately.

The bad thing about this winter: we’re getting Chinook after Chinook, which means I’ve been having pretty constant headaches.

But I don’t feel like I’m going to get frostbite every time I go out walking, so I’d say that’s worth it.
