This is the first time in nearly a month the overnight temp dropped into the teens, and I’m clenching my teeth to keep from whimpering. Normally by this time I just pack on the layers and grunt that any temperature where I can feel my fingers and the coffee grounds don’t freeze to the sink is fine with me. But it’s been such an easy winter that I’ve truly become a girlyman.
Naturally, this is the morning when I promised to meet D and plant fenceposts. Maybe he’ll wimp out and postpone before I do…
I hear you… woke up to three or four inches of snow on the ground and the outdoor temp was 11… Had to put some real heat on before I could sit in the office, and my feet are still cold.
We have gotten really spoiled here by such a mild winter to date, but I suspect the hammer to drop now. March will probably be a cold month, even if we don’t get a lot of snow.
Our windchill last night: minus 47. Our forecast high tomorrow: 4. The day after: 3. You sissies 🙂
Never quite got that “wind chill” thing to make much sense. Not worried about it, since when it’s cold and the wind is blowing, I don’t go outside…. and hardly ever open the door longer than it takes the dog to go in and out (not long).
First winter I was here it got down to -27 one night and I remember sitting here wondering what in the world I’d been THINKING to come here… LOL But I adjusted just fine. My family still thinks I need to be committed, of course.
