It is so cold!

Ok, I know I'm being a baby complaining about temperatures below 20 degrees when the rest of our family has been freezing their butts off for weeks, but man that is COLD!  Today started out as a frigid 16 degrees when I drove  Sophia to the bus stop. Thank goodness for automatic car-starting key fobs! When I took Lilly to school an hour later it was only 18 degrees and there was a nippy wind to go with it. I put on a wool hat this morning and basically made it part of my outfit since I knew I was going to be in and out all day, plus I didn't plan to take it off for fear that the static-electricity monster might strike again.

It turned out to be a very pretty day - if you got to stay indoors.  The sun was sunny, inviting and bright in the sky, but the minute an outside door opened we were reminded that it was indeed a freezing cold day!

Temps are supposed to be around 37 tomorrow followed by a steady increase over the next few days until this weekend when we're back up in the high 60s.  Now, that's more like it!
