Brrrrrrrrrrrrr
 

It's -16 here and there is at least two feet of snow on our picnic table.

There are several indentations in the snow outside our bay window...where I'm sure the deer slept last night..probably getting
some protection from the wind there.

I know lots of us are getting a hard winter..first one here in years so
we're being reminded of what it's like..I keep closing the cupbards under the sink that I'd opened to keep the pipes warm...habits die hard. *grin

How's by you Ducky? Doody? Abbie? BJ? Nikki?

Course those of you in warmer places can now rub it in!

What happened to that Arizona road trip! :D

I'm warmer!!!:yahoo:

:cool: It's in the teens here.

Well Ms. Alffe, it's been brutal. I believe yesterday morning we woke to -26 (not including the windchill) and most Iowa schools were closed.

Right now it's a balmy -17 degrees and rising! Next week a heat wave in the lower 30s! The weather man said so far a total of 56" of snow, I think.

Poor man in Des Moines! This morning a garbage man found a 65 yr old wheelchair bound man in his driveway. He was unconscious and had a small shovel in his lap. The garbage man found him because the LED light on the wheelchair was blinking. He got stuck in the snow last night and was outside ALL NIGHT! Needless to say, he's in the hospital right now. I can't even imagine...I nearly froze putting gas in my car last night.

even us Floridians are bundled up:cool:

30s last night and high of only 59 expected today
for us that is brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr:o

tho as our paper points out
we are a sauna compared with N Dakota;)

Ok, you win Doody. *grin. I can't get that link to open Cheri and Curious...you're having a heat wave!

Nikki I thought we were going to Arizona! :D on a bus with Abbie driving and BJ bringing her dogs.

Did you check on my link in my last wonder? Check this out!!! http://www.kcci.com/video/18486499/index.html

That's just ridicuous Doody. and now I get Cheri's link too.

It's climbed up to 10 below but the roads are a sheet of ice cause it's too cold for the salt to work. :p

Yes that's what happened here too. Salt wasn't doing any good. Wouldn't melt. Plus when we had the blizzard conditions earlier this week, it just blew the salt off anyway. SO many awful traffic accidents this past week.

Daughter called me from Madison. It took them 6 hours to get there. The roads were pretty bad. She said they finally stopped counting all the semis pulled over to the side of the road! Their diesel starts to gel in this extreme cold and the trucks won't run. She said they were stalled all over the place.

We've gone all the way up to 6 degrees above! Tomorrow it's suppose to be 30. Wow, that'll be almost a 60 degree difference since yesterday. :eek:
