So Cold!

 

There is only one word to summarize this winter....cold. Or, maybe miserable? The headlines on our local news site today are "Record Low for Feb. 10 Broken" "Weather is damaging Water Lines" "Water Main Break Leaves Residents Without Water" "Responding Nonstop: 'This Winter Has Just Been Absolutely Miserable'" "Mother leaves 2-year-old boy in Freezing Car."

 

The low today was -16 and tomorrow is supposed to be -20. I try not to complain about the cold because I choose to live in the Midwest, I like my seasons, and am not a fan of excessive heat. But I think this cold has exceeded my threshold for tolerance. This picture is from this morning. Evy has two blankets over her and Charlie is covered with four. Evy loves to play outside in the snow but the temperature hasn't been above freezing in days so I can't let her outside. Only 37 more days until Spring!
