Blink or you'll miss it

It's getting pretty cold now. I used to make the 100m dash from my apartment to work without my nostrils freezing but now that happens within a few seconds of being outdoors. It's down to -30C these days and I have to keep blinking to avoid my eyelashes freezing together.

It takes less than a minute for icicles to form on my eyelids and eyebrows, and my breath lands on my hair and freezes; in the picture above hair that wasn't covered by my hat is frozen and my eyelashes each host an icicle.
