With today’s high of -21°C (-6°F), this seems like a good day to mention one of my favourite words:

Apricity (n.): the warmth of the Sun in winter.

Here’s Logan, enjoying some.

New word for me. Thank you.

It's a bone chilling -30 with a windchill value of -44 here right now. I am definitely not felling the Apricity.

It's still there (but might not be winning the battle at this moment).

Thanks for sharing the word!

There is nothing like a crisp cold sunny day....as long as the wind isn't blowing. It is a joy indeed.

Where I live, we don't see the sun until sometime next month.

Apricity is not a word I have heard before. Wonderful learn something new at my age! I am with Logan in enjoying apricity.

I’m amazed at how rarely it’s used.

Cold, crisp days like this always bring it to mind. The moment the warmth is felt, penetrating through the cold, is pretty special.

I will remember to use it tomorrow when tending to my sled dogs and it is suppose to be a high on negative 25 F but sunny. I have found over the years feeling that sunshine makes things so much better
