Cold

It is very cold this morning. -6 F (-21 C). The sunrise looked like the full moon in Autumn. There was fog all along the hillsides, climbing up the plateaus, and the ice crystals in the fog made large arching rainbows like spring rain. Driving to work, the cars moved over lunar roads covered in dried snow and evaporated ice. Everything was dry and cold and lifeless. Antarctic.
