shivery

This shivery “True Detective,” subtitled “Night Country,” premieres on Jan. 14.

Watching most true-crime dramas, a lot of women will needle themselves with a shivery thought: This could happen to me.

To give the day its due, in the early hours, Saturday flaunted other shivery attributes.

But seen here, at comic-strip scale, they radiate imaginative esprit, thanks to the wonderful linear style — shivery and filigree-fine — of an 8th century artist who signed his name.

Also, our 30-degree low was exactly average — for most of shivery January.
