I assume it’s the cold weather “Jack Frost “, chilling the air you breathe.
Icicles hanging from your mustache. No hidden meanings, just miserable weather!

From Wikipedia:
"Jack Frost is a personification of frost, ice, snow, sleet, winter, and freezing cold. He is a variant of Old Man Winter who is held responsible for frosty weather, nipping the fingers and toes in such weather, coloring the foliage in autumn, and leaving fern-like patterns on cold windows in winter.
Starting in late 19th century literature, more developed characterizations of Jack Frost depict him as a sprite-like character, sometimes appearing as a sinister mischief-maker or as a hero."

Seems like that extra hour we got today has prompted some serious introspection as well as self examination of ones belly button ...
You're right. I found that jellybean I thought I'd lost. Thanks!

When I was a little kid and woke up to see frost on the window panes my mom said Jack Frost had visited.
