The weather outside is frightful!!!!!

Okay...okay...so the weather outside is delightful right now...but two weeks ago, it truly was frightful! That is when I appropriately titled this entry, but the didn't get around to posting it. Oops! Sorry! Yes...two weeks ago was AWFUL to put it mildly! We had negative temperatures, PLUS windchills, making it feel even MORE negative. So...for example. It was 5 below one night, with a windchill that made it feel 30 below! YIKES! On top of that we had snow...snow...and more snow. Sometimes we had all the sleet and ice that we could ask for...but mostly it was just plain, bone chilling COLD!

Only in the midwest can it flip on a dime though...and right now, it is in the mid 40's, sunny and mildly breezy. Ahhh...that is nice. It is funny though...once the temp hits below zero...as soon as it is in the 20's, nobody wears coats anymore! Funny how that works!! I can remember, living in Phoenix, it would be in the 50's in the winter, and we had BIG coats on and were freezing. Now...50 here is jeans and t-shirt weather! My blood has finally grown used to the cold. Jeff too...he had shorts on the other day!
