a minus fifteen moment

Favourite moment today:

Walking through town in extreme cold (-15 C), wrapped in wool. The snow under my boots made that noise it only does when it's really cold. The people I met were covered in so much clothing that the only thing I saw of them was their eyes. Eyes made alert by the life-threatening temperature.

The sun set at 4 p.m. and stars appeared in the clear skies. In winter, night-time is my favourite - which is fortunate, since there is so much of it.
