You know it's really cold when...

...you run outside to take the garbage out and your nose hairs freeze. Yup, that's when it's really cold. It's frigid, like seriously freezing here. We didn't make it to double digits at all today and at 9am when we got out of the car to go to the doc it was still -2. That's F folks, in C that's about -19. AT 9AM! Not the middle of the night! And in DENVER! Sure, sometimes in those high mountain valleys it gets a little chilly, but it also usually warms up as the sun comes up. By lunchtime I think we made it all the way to about 4F. Balmy!

Meanwhile, Travis reported the thermometer on our back patio got to 99.1F (or 37C) yesterday. He called it 'global temperature parity.' I call it living on opposite sides of the planet and being ready to be done with that. Soon...we'll head out of Denver before the end of the week to connect in Sydney for the next leg of our adventure.

Update - record breaking low of -19F that night. Very very cold.
