Aww!!!! That is so cute!!!!


I agree with her too!!!!
 
That really is frightening. I drove my daughter in to work the other morning and saw a man jogging in shorts! It was 1 degree when we woke up. Frostbite, hypothermia, slipping on the ice and cracking your head open. No thank you!!!

Somebody jogged passed me when I was shoveling near the foot of the driveway - that person was well bundled up and was probably a lot warmer than I was!
 
The advisory for my town:

...WIND CHILL WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 AM EST WEDNESDAY...
HAZARDOUS WEATHER...
* WIND CHILLS WILL DROP TO BETWEEN 20 AND 30 BELOW ZERO THIS AFTERNOON AND THEN BOTTOM OUT NEAR 35 BELOW ZERO TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING.
* WESTERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE AT 15 TO 25 MPH THROUGH THIS EVENING AND BRING SOME BLOWING SNOW.
IMPACTS...
* EXPOSURE TO SUCH BITTERLY COLD CONDITIONS WILL CAUSE FROST BITE IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.
* BLOWING SNOW WILL HAMPER TRAVEL IN SOME INSTANCES...ESPECIALLY FOR EXPOSED NORTH-SOUTH ROADS.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
* A WIND CHILL WARNING MEANS THE COMBINATION OF VERY COLD AIR AND STRONG WINDS WILL CREATE DANGEROUSLY LOW WIND CHILL VALUES. THIS WILL RESULT IN FROST BITE AND LEAD TO HYPOTHERMIA OR DEATH IF PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT TAKEN.
* PREPARE...PLAN...AND STAY INFORMED.
 
Good afternoon, Christmas family!

We got at least a foot of snow here. Driveway is halfway done and if the plow should go through the very end of the driveway will be quite the mess. Usually a few car lengths either side of the driveway are cleared but I am too tired to do any more. I am quite out of condition since I was taking it so easy with my knee for a good part of the fall. Four out of eleven cats have showed up looking for water and food. Shaggy is outside, reveling in the day - goofy dog!

Be safe, warm and MERRY!!!

It was January 16th, 1994 the last time Indy was this cold. I remember it clearly!!! It was a wednesday. School was canceled and I spent the day in front of the fireplace. Then that weekend we went camping with scouts and it still got down to -10 at night.

You went camping and it was -10 degrees? If I was your mother I wouldn't have let you go, lol. I'm such a killjoy.

Camping in 10 degress? My personal hell!

At least that person was bundled up. I would still be worried about slipping and falling. A couple of years ago my neighbor went for a walk after a snowstorm and fell and broke her arm so bad that she had to have a couple of surgeries. It's dangerous!
 
14 degrees today and nothing more than a spit of snow. By the time we get more precipitation this week it will be warmed up (50s) and raining.....grrrrr. I'm not complaining too much though; at least the cold is bearable here. My family, pets, and neighbors are all safe and sound and warm. And on that note I'll be enjoying my hot chocolate now..and maybe a nap:).

Stay warm everyone!!
 
Sometimes local communities will set up shelters in schools or other community buildings during extreme weather. Is this an option for Mary? At least she could get warm for a few hours.

The church where she works does just that. She's at work right now and her husband went with her till his job starts at 3pm today. :-)

I'm glad you are pacing yourself with the shoveling. Be careful out there!
