Woke up this morning with steam rising in the frigid (-22°F) air above St. Anthony Falls.

A New Winter Jacket
Looked for a warmer jacket in a bricks-and-mortar store: winter isn’t going away any time soon. Ended up ordering this style of jacket, insulated with recycled down, online to get my size and choice of color.
Staying Upright
Walked around Lake of the Isles while managing to stay upright. From now on, when it’s icy, I use a trekking pole.
It’s Slippery Out There
It is slippery out there: fell backwards, blanked out, got a concussion, felt really punk. I’m now back home, grateful for the lovely people at Methodist Hospital. This time next year we plan to be far away, in a Southern Hemisphere summer.
He Seemed Lucid
Walked with a friend as temperatures rose above freezing. This guy seemed quite lucid as he assured us he had been working out.
Snow Bunny
On my walk: snow bunny with obligatory carrot.
Shedding Snow
On my walk, a grain rail car was shedding yesterday’s snow.
Icy Paths
Managed to stay upright on icy paths as I walked our jogging route.
Mississippi Tributary
Small ice floes floated by on a tributary of the Mississippi as we walked our running route.
Ice
Looked out at a world that was so icy, bus service was suspended for the first time in 8 years. I could see a dog walker barely staying upright, and emergency vehicles going to accidents. A good day to use the workout room, fix stuff, book travel to warm places.
