A New Kind of Cold

For the past two days, I've experienced a new kind of cold; something completely foreign to my experiences so far in Alaska. Every time I walked outside, two things happened.

1. I lost my breath. It was like somebody hit me in the stomach; a gasping hiccup that made me sound like a fish out of water. (Am I?)

2. My boogers froze. I could feel them; all of a sudden they felt huge, like when you feel like you have something hanging out of your nostril. I've been walking around, surreptitiously rubbing at my nose for no good reason.

It's warmed up enough for it to snow. That's not particularly warm, I think it's 7F.

Can I go back to California?
