It is just plain cold.
Cold like a shell
Cold like a mountain.
Cold all day and cold all night.
Oh, the stars sparkle, and the sun puts a glitter on the snow like a kid gone crazy but the cold drives you inside
Where it is less cold, but still cold.
Blankets on all the chairs, long johns, sweats over your jeans over your long johns and still you are cold.
Four shirts
A vest
An over
shirt
Still cold.
Wool socks, yeah, real wool
Still cold.
The wind was pushing the smoke from the stove north last night when we came in.
Does this mean south air and a warm up?
I hope so.
Whine over
We return you to your normal programming, thank you.....

Honey! After reading this poem
(it is) about cold - even those lilies look as though they're trapped under a pane of ice
Brrrrrr.
Love this line:
The wind was pushing the smoke from the stove north last night when we came in ...
So, You've been cold, huh? ;-)
Could be worse. See the temps in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Barrow, Nome...one peak and you'll feel warmer if not actually BE warmer.
How much longer until it starts to warm up for spring?
Were you looking at seed catalogs to remind you of spring? I was wondering where you found lilies blooming this time of year, since the only things growing now are the ferns of frost on the windows.
I hope no breeze comes up this morning or all the branches will fall off the trees.
It's -11 at my place; listen to Joated, you should. Warm you, it could. {/Yoda voice}
Cathy, we would be good if it was warm inside, but it gets up to around fifty and hangs there. It is hard to put on enough clothes to be comfortable. And thanks
joated, yeah, stove has been not doing its job...I do fine in the cold outdoors if I can get in and get warm, but it has been forty or fifty inside.
WW, that is a painting my very talented aunt did. I loved it so I took a photo
June, it isn't that bad out today here...however it is cold in too
Rev. Paul, down to just six below here according to our daughter. However, that isn't bad for out. It is that it is so cold inside that we never seem to get warm. Issues with the chain saw and the chain sawyer and relying entirely on an outdoor stove for heat. There was a discussion (heated unlike the house) and now it is finally, after about four days of fifty degree temps indoors, beginning to warm up. lol
Dani, oops, I missed you, sorry...it is hard to know when it will begin to warm up. We can usually count on actual spring in May, but some years it comes in April and sometimes in March. And a couple of years ago we had frost the tenth or eleventh of June.
....and then there's the sad part of the way we dress for the cold and how cumbersome we become.
Linda, yeah, it is something isn't it! I added two heavy shirts today and was not as bad off. lol
NO way. I was sure those lovely lilies were a nice print. Your aunt must have had formal training.
We had a southeast wind blowing last night. Wasn't real could according to the thermometer, but it was cold!
It's the same in S Indiana!
brrrr.
hope this finds you a bit warmer!
Cathy, I think she took a couple lessons at the Y. She is so talented (and cool and sweet and the best aunt ever and all) lol
JB, I must be getting old, because it just seems to FEEL cold. We don't get anything like either your low temps or winds, but...
Anon, well, stay warm if you can! Not much fun
Ericka, thanks, it is colder out, but warmer in and if it is warm in, you can pretty much get by.
Oh, boy do I ever EVER understand you!
Linda
