Last week a 3 day cold spell saw Northfield wind chills reach as low as -40º F and -50º F. Such temperatures make walking across the street a chore and test the patience of many. But air that cold has a quality to it; it dresses the world in a kind of foreignness that offers us the rare chance to see our most familiar surroundings entirely anew. To me that opportunity is not so different from the opportunites I see in the environmental and sustainability movements.
