It's been a beautiful day today but rather cold. It reminds me of the part in Orlando:

The Great Frost was, historians tell us, the most severe that has ever visited these islands. Birds froze in mid-air and fell like stones to the ground. At Norwich a young countrywoman started to cross the road in her usual robust health and was seen by the onlookers to turn visibly to powder and be blown in a puff of dust over the roofs as the icy blast struck her at the street corner.

I felt a little like my head might be frozen to dust as I cycled to lectures this morning. It has become so cold that I wore long johns under my skirt and have turned the radiators in my room on. I feel rather sorry for poor people like feanelwa and the_alchemist who have even stronger sensations of body parts freezing off in this kind of weather. I am now happily in my room drinking a big mug of darjeeling.

Hm, yes, here in Cov it was below zero when I cycled to work for the first time today. Chilly!
