The Meaning of Cold

There is no picture that can really capture cold, no image that can portray the shivers and teeth rattling caused by the still cold of fifty below along the Alaska Yukon. The truck would not start today even with a block heater, battery blanket, and oil pan heater. We literally had to bring in the new bottle of antifreeze (straight 100% antifreeze) out of the truck today since it had gotten too cold to pour. Picture green jello in a blue Peak Antifreeze bottle. C-O-L-D. It is supposed to warm up to twenty below tomorrow... yes, I said warm up to twenty below.
God has managed to keep us warm inside our apartment though.
