Bone-chilling temperatures have made their way across the US and will be around for a few days. Yesterday around dinnertime I checked the weather app and starting at 10:00 p.m., there was an hour-by-hour countdown to bitter cold. I made a big pot of chili...that's kind of ironic, isn't it? Today begins the second week of The Frozen Feet Challenge where participants walk a minimum of one mile per day until February 23. Right now, the name sure does fit the bill.
Here's a little tidbit: In the first two weeks of February 1899, bitter cold and snow covered most of the United States. Every state fell below 0 degrees but at that time there were only 45 states.
EEEE! Time to hibernate.
ReplyDeleteLuckily the sun is shining, there's no wind, therefore no wind chill factor.
DeleteYikes! That is crazy cold. I know I grew up in that kind of cold but I've been away from it for so long I wouldn't know where to begin. Stay warm.
ReplyDeleteIt is crazy cold and luckily it's sunny with no wind. Need to layer up to go outside.
DeleteI used to love that kind of weather when I was a kid and played outside in it for hours. Now I can't stand it when the temp gets below the 60's and it's been colder than that here for awhile. Curiously, I stumbled on a national weathercast the other day and they were talking about the cold in the Dakotas (where I grew up) and I think today the wind chill in Bismarck was expected to be 43 below zero! No, I ain't goin' back!
