An effort

There are very few good things about a high temperature of zero. The first is that it is warmer than five below. Five below is the point at which your nostrils freeze when you try to sniff. You know your nose is running slightly, but then when you breath in sharply through your nose, your nostrils freeze together. When you exhale it will thaw, but sniffle again and you've got the same snot-Popsicle problem as before.

The second good thing about five below, is the cozy mint-scented-hot-chocolate-in-the-afternoon-feeling one might experience if they are fortunate enough to combine that chilly day with an early quitting time.

Third? Well. It's going to warm up tomorrow. And the river is steaming.
