Winter is like being stuck in an elevator with the ex wife.
Time slows to an imperceptible gray crawl. And spring seems to be a lifetime away............

Big gusty wind and 24 degrees at my house. I think some of the gusts are 40+ knots. Don't know what wind chill that is but I sure wouldn't want to be playing football 10 miles from here!

my 5 and 8 year olds had soccer games in it today. Rather comical. Goals blowing over, balls kicked in the air heading backwards. 23 deg. with 30 mph winds at game time. Don't think I will fish tonight.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

Yup, just finished putting up the film over the new windows. 28 here. I still haven't turned on my heat yet this year (I am making 5 gallons of turkey stock right now and also brochiolle).

Hehehe.
