Bitter cold

It is cold.
There is almost nothing else to say...
the snow finally stopped falling after days of this fine mist. I could not imagine how what looked like a wet snow, very fine snow, could accumulate to the amount that it did.
But now that the snow has stopped, the cold air has set in. We wake up to mornings, with the wind chill factor biting at our cheeks, at -26 this morning...
We are in the tough stretch right now. The air is freezing, the daylight is short, and the roads are not the best to be driving on...

Ah, well, at least there is a chili cook-off fundraiser this weekend, the middle schoolers will watch Gone with the Wind, and I will join them, and of course, there is always cuddling next to the fireplace!

Happy winter, from the frozen North!
Here is one of my favorite houses here:

Stay warm! The weather is strange here. In the 60s for several days now. It feels good but it also feels not right!

I've never been that cold! I can't imagine! Don't get frostbitten.
I like that house, too. :-)

The same way snow arrived just now for you, for us the summer arrived and it has been so HOT. Typical Brazilian Summer.....

Mmm. The warmth of a crackling fire, chili, and Gone With the Wind; doesn't get better than that. You sure know how to bring a little warmth into your life! I like that house too, especially the color. Greetings from almost always sunny warm southern California!!
