OMG It is SO flipping cold. I grew up
in Utah so I'm not unfamiliar with cold but there is something much
different about this arctic chill sweeping the state where I currently
reside. It's frickin' arctic cold.
It was 12 degrees yesterday, 14 degrees today. I may have lived in Utah
but after that I moved to California for 15 years. I'm not used to this
anymore! I can't even get the heater to go up high enough so I don't
freeze near the windows or doors. I really don't know how people like
in North Dakota or Minnesota do it...I had heard they were at below
zero temps. What?! That's crazy.
I can kind of take the cold {maybe not this kind of cold} but it's
easier to take when there is lovely snow falling or snow lying on the
ground in big soft white pillows of loveliness. But no snow. It is
sunny and bright out. All another way to trick me. I go out to get the
mail thinking, "Oh, the sun is out, it can't be that cold!" And then I'm smacked in the face with an arctic wall of ice air.
Now I am off to worry about if I have antifreeze in my ancient car and shoo away the polar bears from digging through the trash.
