The cold part 2

So I went out as usual, to smoke my cigarette.
My left hand froze, and I moved the cigarette to my right hand.
It was around noon.
I was wrapped in my best winter apparatus (yes yes apparatus,
specifically chosen, almost military defense-like).
And it was -3 degrees, -9 with wind chill factor.
And half a cigarette later, I walk back into the building.
The doorman says: It's getting cold, eh?
(I acquiesce silently.)
Winter is coming soon, he continues.
I think that's when I really froze. Winter? Ah yes! Winter!
That which begineth on the 21st of DECEMBER!
This isn't winter yet... This is still fall.
