Tips for dealing with below 0°F temperatures, for anyone who's not used to it and is now having to deal with it in this winter storm:
Tuck your shirt into your pants to prevent the cold from sneaking in
Put on a sweater or a hoodie over that, and then also wear a coat over that
Put on a beanie and then pull your hood up over that (BOTH hoods if you're wearing a hoodie instead of a sweater)
Wear a scarf underneath your coat hood. You want it to be kept as close to you as possible, and hopefully high enough that you can tuck your nose into it while walking outside
Wear solid pants like jeans, and put on tights, leggings, or (if you actually have any) long underwear underneath
Wear two pairs of socks—at least one of which is long socks—and tuck your leggings into those
Wear boots or some other thick shoe with good traction if you have any
GLOVES. Wear two pairs if you need to. I only have one pair and now my hands are my only weak point 😭
Try not to stay outside for too long if you can help it, frostbite and hypothermia are painful and very dangerous. When you're inside, make sure you're eating plenty of food and drinking plenty of water. Your body needs energy and hydration to fight off the cold. Stay safe out there everyone

Geese in the snowstorm, they could get out of the snow but seem to be enjoying it for now. When the temperatures drop as predicted they will huddle up out of the wind. Soon, when night comes, they will sit in the snow, pull their legs and feet up into their down coat, tuck their heads under a wing and when I find them in the morning they will have a coat of snow.

Epic ice storm here in Eugene, Oregon. Fallen tree limbs. Downed power lines. What looks like snow is as slick as a skating rink. Yet this frozen world is very beautiful.
