Another Weather Post?

Baby, It’s cold outside!

How boring can you get? Another weather post. Well, that’s what we have here, Remarkable Weather and I am remarking on it.

Today started out beautifully, stunning sunny day and crisp as can be. I layered up and went out too rescue the Dodge Dakota that I ‘parked” in a snow drift last night. The wind was crazily billowing the white stuff all over the place, such that I could hardly see. It also dropped it in all new places that I didn’t expect so turning around put me thigh deep in it and the truck wasn’t coming out so quick last night. Today with all this sunshine should be a different story.

The first time out my cheeks were colder than they have ever been. I think I froze my root canal fluid. I got my shoveling done and turned over the Dakota but did not get it out. When I came back inside Victor was just getting up and wanted to know how cold it was. I didn’t know the number for the cold and thought that was probably the best way to go about the day. Dress in the warmest you have an pray it’s enough.

Well, that wasn’t enough for him. He had to know the number. Me I don’t want to know. Sort of like my weight. When it doesn’t feel good, I don’t get on the scale. Oh, well, I look it up. -13. Do you know what that did for my day? Ended it. Totally ended it. I didn’t want to go out another time. I just wanted to curl up with a good book under the covers in the toasty loft. No such luck.

Now that we know the number (-13) we HAVE to fix the cold pipes over in #5. Really? Really? Today? Really? Yes. Really. In a show of solidarity, I bundle up and join him outside again. I go to the bathroom before we leave, I don;t want my pee to freeze in me. Gross, but I have to think of these things……Else? What? Who wants to learn what might otherwise happen. Not me. I pee.

Today we did get the Dakota out, but did not get the cold pipes warmed. We have scheduled that for Wednesday when it should be a balmy 16 ABOVE zero. For now I just laugh and wait until tomorrow when I can be more productive, only -6 predicted. Yes,we can get lots more done tomorrow.

PS: I have been playing around with a special where you pay the temperature. Haven’t figured it out yet, but it intrigues me. Today I would have paid you $13 to stay here? I must remain at the drawing board for this one, I haven’t got it quite nailed down yet.
