Word of the day

I know, I know. I'm not trying to be a "word of the day junkie" but the word for today seemed fitting! I'm sure that there are multiple people that can use this word, especially with all the winter stormage that is going on out there! So, here ya go...

gelid

\'je-led\ adj : extremely cold : icy

Members of the rescue team braved gelid conditions as they searched the mountain for the lost climber.
