When it gets cold, some of us buck up and just put a sweatshirt on when we go out paddleboarding (see above). But the rest of us wimps are on Twitter commiserating (proving Tina Fey right).
We're having trouble with our day-to-day activities:

It's not going to get any better for a little while. Temperatures are supposed to dip well below freezing for the next few nights. The National Weather Service sent out a warning (and we've left it in all caps for dramatic effect): "THIS WILL LIKELY BE THE COLDEST WEATHER OF THE SEASON SO FAR."
