Out of the deep freeze

Today the temperature got up to a balmy 33 degrees (Fahrenheit). Yesterday it only got to 2 above. When I left for work yesterday the temperature was -14 (up from a record setting -19 low for the night) I was working at the airport at a gate which was extremely cold because the doors from that jet bridge and others near it had to be open to let passengers on and off of the planes. (gee, if we could only have kept the doors closed, it might have been warmer!) We were all bundled up but were restricted to wearing official uniform items (or black or blue which wouldn't clash with what we had to wear.) The Starbucks in the boarding area did a booming business. To those who complained about the seeming lack of heat in the concourse I only had to say, "Well it is December and this is Denver." Funny thing is - last week we had a day in the 70's!
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
