HOW COLD IS IT?
Here in Boston it was -6 overnight. Apparently the coldest since an infamous Valentine's Day in 2016 (it was -9) which was the coldest ever since another Valentine's Day low, minus 3 degrees set in 1934.
It's so cold that "sweatpants" seems like a wishful misnomer, and
... the birds in the yard are puffed up like Nerf balls, and
... rhododendron leaves are curled up, tight as pencils.
My husband and I are arguing over whether to keep the upstairs bedrooms (where each room has its own radiator) open or shut. I say SHUT because HEAT RISES. He (the physicist) says OPEN because it's warmer in the upstairs bedrooms than it is downstairs... which I say only proves my point.
Here are some photos from my neck of the woods....

| Rhododendren |

| Our bedroom window |

| Rooftop snow making a possibly political statement... remind you of anyone's hair? |
HANK: Oh, here's where we are:

| the shadows on the roof of the garage |
And here is the view from the Attorney General's office where I was doing an interview. The Charles River is frozen. It's frozen in waves. The WAVES are frozen. And there you have our world.
SO as Hallie says: HOW COLD IS IT?
