Coming Down With the Cold

If you own a pair of mittens we suggest you put them on your hands toute suite. It is about to get really cold up in here, making talk about the weather acceptable outside of awkward exchanges with your local barista.

A mass of cold air is heading south through, where else, Canada, and should reach Seattle tomorrow morning causing temperatures to dip into the low thirties and twenties.
