-This has been our coldest winter in decades.
-Last week we marked our 25th straight day where we saw zero degree or colder temperatures. This week we kept going but I stopped counting. -A.M. windchills have been -25 or so, which means instead of staying in PJ's I'm loading kids into the car to get them to school every morning. -We haven't seen 30 degrees in a looooooooooong time. -Our snowfall has been ridculously regular, about every 3 days, dumping 2-10 inches, and it. never. melts. -The burbs have or have nearly nearly run out of salt. -Salt doesn't do squat when temps are below 20, which is every night by many degrees. -The potholes are man eating tire flattening obstacles courses. -The black ice is killing people nearly every night. -The dog won't go outside without me putting socks on him ever since he froze his feet being ten minutes outside when it was -15. -The kids will be in school five extra days in June thanks to all the danger cold days off. -Our heating bills......gah. -The side streets are getting narrower and narrower because of issues finding places to put the snow. -I suspect my koi are dead. I haven't been able to maintain a hole in the ice for a month+. -The deer are eating bark on the trees. It has been one heck of a winter BUT we only have about 7 days left of it! In a week we are forecast to hit 46 degrees and that means t-shirts and shorts baby! Stacy |
