cccccccccold.
very cold scene from ‘the shining.’ (warner brothers)
does anyone else watch movies set in the snow and became freezing just watching them?
it all starts out well enough
suddenly dawning on me
the characters
have spent much of the movie in the freezing snow.
once i realize this, there is no going back,
it begins to feel so very cold.
consider this a warning or cautionary tale.
below are some i’ve sen over the years,
any to add to the list?

Snowlandia Śnieżny Labirynt in ZakɔˈPanɛ
the biggest snow labyrinth in the world
perhaps the perfect place
for when you want to be lost and cold at the same time
smack dab in the middle of somewhere beautiful

what doesn’t itch.
the time is near
soon the colder temps
will come and stay awhile
never having been seen as a fashion icon
it will soon be time to take off the sandals
and wrap myself in comfort
whatever that may look like.

Ann Arbor expected to be colder than South Pole on Wednesday
The South Pole in Antarctica is expected to be balmier than Ann Arbor on Wednesday, Jan. 30. The Ann Arbor area, like most of Michigan, is on track to experience a blast of bitterly cold Arctic air Wednesday that could beat temperatures down to record lows, the National Weather Service says.
As of 2 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 29, the weather service projects temperatures as low as 19 below zero Wednesday. Meanwhile, 8 degrees below zero is forecast at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica, where it is summer. If the forecast proves accurate, the former low temperature record for Jan. 30, 11 degrees below zero, set in 1911, will be broken, according to data provided by University of Michigan climate research scientist Frank J. Marsik.
The National Weather Service also issued a wind chill warning to take effect at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 29 through 6 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 31. The wind child is expected to dip to between 25 and 40 degrees below zero, cold enough to cause the onset of frostbite to exposed skin in as little as 10 minutes. The governor of Michigan has declared a state of emergency.
