Negative three degrees is what
the temperature was when i woke up today.
stepped outside it felt so cold
that the nosehairs felt like frost
as i inhaled.
then came 9am.
the sun was shining bright
that if one was to peer outside,
you'd think it's perfectly fine.
despite the sun, with its rays
gleaming down brightly upon us,
that was just the facade
of how frigid this day would be.
the moment the gusts of death
grace upon your face,
you have just moments until frostbite
slowly takes over
and makes your skin want to shatter.
with temperatures so low
and wind gusts so high,
mother nature is just introducing us
to windchills
that would instill the fear in us
of actually leaving the house.
this was the first day
of subzero temperatures.
this was just the first day
of winter.
