I have heard this is one heck of a bad season for the flu, but I got my shot back in September and I am good to go. I've been healthy as an ox. But there's nothing quite like a deep breath of genuine arctic cold with correspondingly low dewpoints to clear the nose. Back when northern Illinois used to get REAL winters, back when I was just a tender kid, I used to go up there to see my grandparents. It would hit -20 at 6am sharp many a deep winter morning up there. They used to get that polar vortex smack dab in their back yard every January. I'd have a stuffy nose and Gramps had just the thing for it: He'd take me out back and that cool morning air would just clear out my nose something nice!!!!
You could count on a White Christmas up there nearly every year! It was sure a heck of a lot better than having to put up with a mild, 65-degree green and brown Christmas down here in Woodbridge VA.
Man what I'd give for just one day of that clean, crisp, invigorating arctic air right now!!
