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!

I'm warmer!!!

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

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

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

Want a house guest

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! 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

It made it to 3 above here today...but it was -21 (negative 21) this morning. The high temp yesterday was -15 with wind chills at -48.

I wish we had more snow... if it's this cold we should at least have the snow...

We have maybe 5 inches of snow in the yard....

I have missed every appointment this week due to the snow and cold.
Aw well... a little warm up this weekend maybe have a high of 34 but calling for more snow.


I hope everyone is staying warm... or cool depending on where you are.

hugs for all!!!
Abbie

We are having a heat wave, it is up to -8 right now... but we had our boiler quit on us It is one of those newer ones that has a computer on it. It quit, is flashing a code at me, like it is helping me. Annoyed me so much I just shut the sucker off. Went up in the attic and got the extra space heaters.

I have been up over 24 hours. I was just heading to bed when I noticed it was getting chilly. Good thing I checked! After it went off, I did get it started again by following the directions in the book... but it wont circulate. Then quits and flashes that stupid code at me. grrrr Haven't even paid the sucker off yet!! Should be under warranty though. I imagine it will be some time before they can get to us. I told them we have space heaters, so go take care of those who don't! Have I mentioned that I hate winter? Warm hugs and hot chocolate for everyone Nikki
