Balaclava Beats the Blizzard Blast

The arctic blast continues with temperatures well below zero and cautions about going outside—if you dare.

I have a balaclava, which is a combination scarf, hat, and extraterrestrial two-way radio. I wore it on the first day of the snowstorm last week, when the snow was great for juggling snowballs. I somehow got it twisted and my left eye got covered up. I didn’t know I could be a one-eyed juggler.

I’m not sure if I finally figured out how to don the balaclava correctly or not. But I did it my way. There are models without antennae, which might cut down on extraterrestrial abductions.

Actually, you probably should stay indoors for the next few days while the big wind chill grips the area.
