It's colder outside than in our freezer

It should be illegal for people to live in Logan during the winter! It was -16 yesterday morning, negative whatever today and is barely getting above 0 at the warmest time of the day. I don't think it got THIS cold last year in Logan. It seriously HURTS to go outside. Your ears, your lips, any part of skin that is not covered up. Whenever you step out and take your first breath, you automatically cough because it takes your breath away. I've been watching people up on campus coming out of buildings, and it happens to everyone.

It's almost 10 p.m. and Ben just went outside to take a picture of the ridiculous snow, and I'm afraid he'll be stuck frozen out there until it starts to thaw, which I think will be about late June.

What makes it so bad?? Our furnace STINKS! As in the smell. Pee-you. Our apartment complex was built in the 1960s and some of its features are a little scary.

Well, Ben made it back inside, but not with a picture. I think our camera got eaten by the horrific, snarling, teeth-clenching monster of frigidity sitting right outside our door, ready to devour us the second our toes land on the door sill.

I'm not going to make it. I would cry, but the monster outside would just freeze my tears, causing my eyes to be stuck closed forever. I don't even care if I spell words wrong! @#%**!J?? If anyone does care, I'd like to see you come and tell that to my face. Good luck getting past the darkness and abyss of the torturous cold that is Logan.

Man, are you a freaking writing major or what! That was some great imagery and good use of diction. Frankly, I'm quite proud of you.

I know its cold, but I just LOVE winter! At least you don't have to wait for Trax!

ditto to Lauren! She stole my comment. You are an amazing writer.
I'm so sorry about the cold! My sister up there is suffering through it too. I don't know how that's supposed to make you feel better, but I tried.

Maddie, I do care. I'd love to come and tell it to your face, but I'm afraid Logan is stuck in a bubble of ice, and I can't get in.
