Frozen apple, Feb. 11, 2008 edition

Folks from the frozen zones will be happy to know that winter has finally arrived in New York City--it was 11 degrees Fahrenheit/-11.7 degrees Celsius (with a 40-mile-an-hour wind?) when I woke up this morning. Before leaving the apartment, I put on a sweater under my suit jacket, a windbreaker over my suit jacket, a pair of knee-high lined boots, my heavy gloves, a wool beret under the hood of my mid-calf-length down coat, and a scarf. Sound familiar?
