2. When it's really cold, perhaps below -6, the snow is sparkly and it feels like walking on glitter.
3. Ducks don't freeze and I don't understand why? Can someone explain? They have little lizardy duck feet that have no insulation, how the fuck do they not fall off? Ah yes snow, the duck feet leave footprints which are very cute but WHY DON'T THEY FALL OFF?
4. When you have leftovers you can put them outside to cool. If you have beers you can put them outside to chill.
