Bitterly Cold

It was cold last week. Bitterly cold. For me (I'm more used to 40 degrees and rain) was it quite an experience. But I seriously thought that negative 35 would feel worse, that you would feel, like you have problems to breath, would never ever go out and that life would kind of stop, because it's just too cold to move on.
But it wasn't like that, it was more normal. It's hard to explain, but I thought that it didn't feel cold. Maybe it was because of the shinning sun. I don't want to complain, I enjoyed the cold a lot, especially, because we didn't have school for 3 days.
So why does the cold not fell so cold or is it just me, who experienced it as not too cold?
I would say this needs some research!



Okay,I have to say, it wasn't as cold as in the picture.
