I forgot how miserable Colorado can be in the winter. I don’t know what time it got dark, but I stood up at 6 (was still at work) and it was pitch black outside. It was also cold and windy (but not snowing/raining like was predicted) as I discovered when I went out to my car. I barely had a long enough drive for my car to heat up to the point that the heater started doing anything.
At least I still have good hot chocolate mix (the home-made stuff). I may have burnt myself on the cup, but my hands are warm now.
