Brrrrr!

It has been rather cold of late. When winter came it really came! I am just grateful that we have not had the snowfall that other areas have gotten recently. I am watching The Weather Channel and seeing that the areas closer to the lakes are really getting a lot of snow. I think our maximum snowfall was on Friday when we got a few inches. We'll get a big storm or two, I am sure, before winter ends. Meanwhile I am looking forward to this weekend because the lows are supposed to be in the double digits! The lows of late have been so close to zero (if not below) that the "feels like" temperature has been rather consistently around -10 to -20. That's cold! (For the metric folks out there, right now the temperature is 5 F/-15 C, with a "feels like" of -11 F/-24 C.) I feel bad for our friends in Canada right now, since they've got even colder weather than we do! They were just talking about people plugging in their cars to keep the battery alive. That's not something that people out here could really do because there's no real historical need. I don't envy that! Even so, I think it's cold outside. I actually put on my gloves yesterday...
