Boy is it cold! The arctic blast has arrived! By noon it had only "warmed up" to 26 degrees. It snowed yesterday. It was a very fast falling snow too. We kept commenting how fast it was coming down. Not that my car was clean before the snowstorm but it definitely isn't clean now. While I was out and about earlier it started snowing again just briefly though.
How is Cody dealing with the arctic blast? When we were out for a short walk today it was only a few minutes until Cody was done being outdoors, he began pulling both Simon and I in the direction to get back indoors. He's also somewhat picky on where he places each foot! That's funny to watch! It appears he's figured out which surfaces are colder than other surfaces so he's careful where his feet go.
And Simon? Little Simon has a special "cold stance". He gets low on his hind quarters but doesn't sit all the way down and all muscles in his legs quiver from the cold. The stance is kind of cute but seeing him shake is pitiful. I guess he assumes crouching low helps him stay warmer. With his barely there fur coat he's not a huge fan of 26 degrees either.
I don't mind the cold temps. It gives me an extra reason to use the fireplace and make special cold weather meals. My new Dallas appropriate coat has surely helped me deal with the cold this season.
Hi! I just stumbled into this blog, and realized you are from Dallas, so that isn't all that far from where I am. I'm over here in Euless, outside of Fort Worth.
ReplyDeleteYes, the cold last week was something else! Did you get snow? I work in Lewisville and my co-workers (who live in Carrollton, Lewisville, and Little Elm) got snow. Over here in Euless we only got a dusting and that went away very quickly. And now another blast coming in for tomorrow. Brrrr!
