The Feel of Winter

It’s been rather chilly in MN lately, and the feel of winter has set in. Do I mean snowflakes that cling to my nose and eyelashes? No. Remember back when you were a kid, and it was the feel of the insides of your nose sticking together, and you thought your boogers were freezing? It’s not that, either. I mean that awful feeling as my dry, cracked skin scrapes against fleece. I can almost hear the “KRRRRRCK” sound it must make. Or the burning sensation in my hands that no amount of hand lotion can quell after I’ve done the dishes and not used rubber gloves.
