Brrrr 🥶

Another day, another -35 C here. I warmed the car twice and still it wasn’t enough to clear ice in the window, darn it. Good thing it’s not windy, so no windchill like on the weekend, it was up to -40 C freezing cold 🥶🥶🥶🥶

Lights flickering for days tho due to the coldness. So it’s been fun, going to disco minus the loud music 😁
