Every school district in the area has a 2 hour delay. Except for ours. Rain changed to snow just recently. Roads are covered. Blustery.
The real cold starts later this afternoon. We could be below 0 from tonight till Wednesday morning. Coldest weather since 1994 when it went to 20 below.

"What is it about breasts....? I don't know about how you were brought up, but at my house you had to keep an eye on those things.
You never knew where your next meal was coming from.

Note that “areola” is a different word.
To: SoothingDave
It took about a half hour for the aureole to dissipate after a 4-hour 4 hour practice in a chlorinated pool. Don’t miss that!

There is an aureole of steam around every living thing which ventures outdoors today. It is 7 with wind chill of -3 in Nashville today.

Technically, you are correct, however, definition 2, clearly states, a ring of light, or
color...
So..I would say while the breast obviously deserves it's own special word, your word is malleable enuff to fit the bill;-)
