The last couple of days have been piercingly cold; the daytime highs have been between 0 and 10 (Fahrenheit) and the nighttime lows between -10 to -20. I worked 3p-11p last night and tonight. Folks were coming in from pumping their gas with a pinched, shocked look on their faces. Last night I remembered, but tonight I forgot to go out and start my car early, to warm it up. Cold! So cold, it seemed like the very air was fragile, ready to snap off into pieces. The moon was like a white sickle, low in the sky. I watched it on my westward drive home, and thought of Titan.

I remember those impossibly cold UP nights, when every breath feels like it could crystallize your lungs and the snow goes squeak, squeak, squeak underfoot.

I can't say I miss them, but they were magical, in their way ...
