We are currently experiencing a prolonged period of snow and extreme cold and wind, though In Cleveland the snowfall has been a couple of inches every other day or so and not the massive snowstorms that have hit other parts of the northeast. But it was bad enough that driving required considerable caution.
This video of Mike Warner of Oregon trying to climb stairs in 90 mph wind reminds me of the old ‘walking into the wind’ mime classic.

WINDY!! wind gusts at Vista House in the Columbia River Gorge were over 90 MPH at times this morning! Really hard to walk, knocked me down several times #LiveOnK2 #pdxtst #EquinoxLiveDrive pic.twitter.com/dBRcP0VcLq

When I was a kid (1969?), I saw a tent performance by Marceau, down in a rural part of southern France. We were completely transfixed, mesmerized.
I don’t understand why it’s hip to make fun of mimes. It’s a really cool art-form.
I met a guy who had taken a course on mime with Marceau. He said that the guy simply would not stop talking!

Ha!
Do you remember Marceau’s appearance in Mel Brooks’ Silent Movie?
Marcus: “Non!”
I somehow never got around to seeing Silent Movie. I should check it out.
