baby, it's cold outside

It’s downright chilly outside tonight, with a definite bite to the air. Winter has seemingly arrived, bringing with it a season of cravings for warm comfort food. And, oh yes, hot chocolate. Not that powdered stuff out of the packets. The good stuff: real chocolate melted in milk in a saucepan over the stovetop. It’s such a wonderful thing to come home to, and a welcome reward at the end of the day.

I think DCist had the right idea this morning:

Good morning, Washington. We hope you’re reading this from the comfort of your toasty home, sipping some coffee and wriggling your toes in slippers shaped like some ridiculous sort of animal. If this is in fact the case, let us offer a word of advice: STAY INSIDE. Today’s high temperature is going to be 43 degrees. 43! It’s still November — we’re just not prepared to grapple with highs of 43 yet. Call your boss and say you’ll be in late. Like, April-late.
