Baby, It's Cold Outside!

On Friday morning Brad came out to the living room ready to leave for work  as he entered the room he said his cell phone reading stated the outside temp to be only 37 degrees.  I was in agreement that it was frigid outside as I had just barely returned from the long morning walk with the boys.  Both boys walked quickly as they likely hoped I would wrap up the walk earlier than usual so they could get home to plant themselves next to the space heater.  No such luck!  We suffered through the entire walk.  Poor boys!

On Thursday it was gorgeous!  Lovely 72 degree day.  I took Piper to her first vet appointment. She was an angel at the vet office, by the way!  The temps here typically start to chill down in the late afternoon before evening sets in.  When I returned home with Piper it was early evening and it was dark out, I immediately leashed up the boys to take them for their evening walk.  While out on the walk we all 3 enjoyed the pleasant temp as it had not started to dip down yet which was a bit out of the ordinary.  By the time Friday morning rolled around....it was super cold!!!  Now think about that folks....from about 7:00 pm on Thursday to 7:00 am on Friday....a 12 hour timespan it dropped from 72 to 37 degrees!  Brrr! Oh wait let Cody add this,...."Brrr!"

Friday was the beginning of 6 days in a row of super cold winter temps.  We haven't gotten out of the 30's no matter what time of the day.  We've canceled any hope for it to warm up as each day progresses.  The hardest part to deal with is the wind chill.  The wind chill hardly existed a little while ago when I walked the boys so it was much more bearable.  The boys both shiver every time they go out.  Tomorrow is predicted to be the worst of it.  Freezing rain is supposed to begin at midnight and continue long enough to make this wife worry about her husband's morning commute. Bridges and freeways will likely be a mess.  As for later in the day, the prediction is for snow flurries around the time Monday Night Football kicks off.  Tuesday will be cold too!  I think Wednesday will provide us with a bit warmer temps, we might get up to at least 40 for a high! ;) I'm actually not sure though, weather reports have been focused on the bad prediction for Monday.  We'll see if by the end of the day tomorrow there will be a recipient to this season's first thrown snowball by me!
