Not much to write about again today. The weather is still the topic of conversations. I can't ever remember having a winter like this. But I've been told we have. Oh, well..... it's still COLD!
When the temperature is this cold, the snow is dry and very light, so it blows everywhere.
Bob got out yesterday and had to clean out our drive again. He had to keep watching which direction the wind was blowing so he knew which way to turn the shoot on the blower.
You may have seen this picture on Facebook. I think they're fascinating. They're called 'snow rollers' and I guess they're common in weather conditions like we've been having. I'd love to see how one gets started.
Someone said "Mother Nature can certainly entertain us with strange phenomena to get our minds off the bad weather."
School is cancelled for tomorrow. Thank goodness. Daughter #1 dropped off our grandson this morning at 6:45 for the 2-hr delay and at 7:00 the school announced a cancellation. I was so hoping they would. When I think of all those little ones out in the cold without being totally covered up, it's scary. Tomorrow is suppose to be even worse. The temperature is forecasted to be around -15 with a wind chill of -45!!!
My 3 daughters, my grand-daughter and I had fun last night with a live chat on Facebook. We all decided that as soon as this weather gets back to normal we're going to have a family dinner so we can all get back together again. I feel like I haven't gotten to hug them in such a long time. :)
That's all I can think of to write for now. I'm going to go crawl under my electric blanket and read for awhile.
You be safe and warm.
Until next time...........
Carol, I think I remember super cold temps as a youngster growing up in Ohio. Buckeye Lake would freeze solid and we spent hours ice skating! Layers and layers of socks (with a layer of plastic bag), two pairs of slacks and long johns, gloves under mittens....whatever it took to get out and ice skate. Now - no thank you.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how the snow rollers hold together when the snow is dry and powdery? That is so interesting and beautiful!
Nice to chat with the kids and to have something to look forward to when things thaw out! Stay warm up there!!
It seems this period of time makes for 'nothing to write about', or at least that is how I feel. I think spending time with one another on the computer is a good thing for those who are snowed or iced in. Jim doesnt like all this 'computer' stuff, but I think he would approve of seeing and talking to one another. Stay warm.
ReplyDeleteThe weather seems to be taking it's toll on all of us and that is all that is everyone's mind lately. I know I'm making my list of things to do come spring...I CAN'T WAIT!
