I took the above picture after dropping the kids off at school this morning.

Now I understand that in places where some of you folks live a temperature reading of eight degrees below zero is called Tuesday. I do get that.

However, I am also certain that this is the coldest outdoor temperature that I have ever experienced personally in my 50-plus years of living here in Massachusetts.

In fact, I don’t recall anything close.

The good news? It took my mind off all the snow for a few minutes.
