not too unusual, but I always get a kick out of my jacket becoming stiff and crackely. No extra mositure to make it stiff, just cold.
I get a kick out of this too.
The funny thing to me is how it's so relative. Before the cold snap of the year, people bitch and complain about how it's cold at -15 or -20 Celcius. But after the cold snap (or multiple ones) when it reaches -10* again people are totally happy to go around with minimal jackets on, and I see people out with t-shirts on if they don't have to walk far outside.
Something else i found interesting is that going out of my school, you pass by a pool hall, which has high humidity. This opens up into a uninsulated walkway, and ever since it's been colder than -30* There has been a huge fog cloud billowing out of the doors down the walkway. It's coated the windows with sheets of ice and it's eerie walking through the area only able to see some 4 feet in front of you. The effect is ruined during high traffic times though because all the humid air gets all sucked out by the door being open all the time.
I don't usually whine about the cold, but I don't like a cold snap for 1 reason- no snow. Because there's no warm/cool pressure fronts moving around, there's no precipitation which sucks. I wouldn't mind if it was really cold if I got a foot of powder along with it. But as it is it just makes life difficult.
