the 2nd day of christmas i froze my butt off

The sun is bright, I don't hear any wind, I'm going for a walk.

Bad move.

It was about 22 degrees out. I had no idea. I dropped my neice off at work and headed for the D&L. The ice should have given me a hint. But some days I'm dense. I received my first clue when there was ice on the trail. The second clue was the canal was frozen. The third clue was there was nobody else out there.

I forge onward toward Allentown. And then the wind blew. I was walking into it. The cold became even colder. Don't let that sunshine fool you, it was C-O-L-D. And I wasn't dressed right. I had yoga pants, a winter coat, scarf, gloves and a hat. Anything above my waist was warm. Anything below was a popcicle.

I trudged away. I don't know how far I went before I gave up and turned around. From the time I left my house to the time I arrived home it was 75 minutes.

Miles/Steps:   Clueless. i'd like to guess 2 miles, but with the ice I bet it was less.
Weather:        23°, windy, sunny, and bitter freakin cold
Wildlife:         none

Extras:           I saw this shack that I never saw before. Almost looks like an outhouse, but I'm sure it's not. I guess it's usually hidden by the trees.
