It's 70ºF (21ºC) here in Hawaii and I had to close all my windows because I'm freezing my butt off.

If I ever move to California I hope I don't lose my cold tolerance. I can't imagine finding 21ºF* worse than "pretty chilly", much less 21ºC.
(Assuming no major wind chill, it's 9ºF here in Jersey this morning with a wind chill of -2ºF, where the F stands for "fuck this shit")
Also I'm surprised at the plug hate. Plugs are super cute! Especially the (relatively) tiny ones that Claire has.
Is it cold in here?:
"There is no bad weather, only inadequate clothing".
At 20 Fahrenheit my Icelandic wool sweater keeps me (barely) in my comfort range.

Honestly... you will. Age will have something to do with it too. When I was in my teens and 20s up North it was basically t-shirt weather until it dipped below freezing. After a couple of years in California and almost a couple of decades in Georgia, I start getting cold when it's south of 70F. And absolutely freezing below 60F. One of the reasons I moved away from California though, oddly enough, was the lack of seasons. Out there you basically have the hot season, the really hot season and the brush fire season. At least in my area rain was uncommon, and when it did arrive it was of the 'torrential downpour' variety, normally. I was used to four distinct seasons. And I missed the Autumn time particularly. It's not much better in Georgia, where we have Too Hot and Too Cold and pretty much nothing in between. But it's something.
I don't think Claire is wearing plugs here. It's more likely they are just largish disks, I've seen plenty of earrings like that. I mean they could be starter plugs, but given that Claire is Serious Librarian in Training, I doubt she would go for any kind of visible body modification that couldn't be easily reversed or hidden by clothes. Libraries, at least ones I've been to, still hold to the 'respectable, reserved' look for their staff. Not hiring people with visible tattoos, plugs and facial piercings. The septum ring she could remove easily enough when it's time for interviews. Stretched earlobes though.... not so much.
I don't think Marten is heading out anywhere. If it is winter and cold, likely he's just wearing a hoodie around the house for extra warmth. I know I do. But the interaction between the two of them really does say they live together. He meets her at the door with a mug of something hot, most likely. Claire is immediately complaining and talking about her day instead of saying "Hi sweetie, how are you?" It just to me speaks that she's coming home, not going to visit.

Ah, well, I have to jump in on a weather discussion!
I grew up in the New York "snowbelt" Buffalo/Rochester area, so had enough snow to last me a lifetime. Seriously, growing up the snow could be over my head and school wasn't cancelled. Shoveling snow to get to the end of the driveway to catch the bus SUCKED. Thank goodness I had a brother to help!
Now I live in Maine, which generally means less snow (last year being a fluke) but colder temps. It's 10 degrees Fahrenheit out there this morning, which is pretty chilly, but it can get a lot lot worse. I'm hoping this will be a mild winter, seeing as pretty much ALL of November and December were positively balmy by our normal standards.
Though I sometimes think of moving to a warmer climate, I don't really think I'd ever leave New England.
Also, I'm not a fan of plugs and I hope they are magnets. But either way it is her body and she should do what she wants. Love the hairstyle and the sweet Marten-kiss where he closes his eyes and seems so contented to be with her. Perfect relationship. Looking forward to seeing what the rest of the cast is up to and what Marten is doing for work! and P.S. i would REALLY love an Angus update.

Meh. Not a fan of the new drawing style. I guess I'll get used to it, though.
