Relatively chill

When you live in a place with the chance of arctic blasts, you would say -8C is warm, relatively. This morning, the temperature got below -30C and there was a wind chill factor. It felt like -45C and for the first time, I felt what -45C means. It means nothing. You will be under a pile of clothes and you wouldn't even feel it is colder than -20C. Yet, taking off layer after layer when I got to school; ski pants on jeans and hoodie on sweater under the winter coat reminded me that today is different.
