Bitter Cold Again

Woke up to another morning of sunny weather with temperatures below zero. It's been very cold almost everyday for the past few weeks. It's usually been single digit temperatures and occasionally going up into the teens. It's been awhile since it was in the 20s. Above freezing... can't remember. There hasn't been a January Thaw this year.

We've had a lot of lake effect snow but the lake must have frozen over so why all that extra snow. We have about 7 or 8 inches on the ground now but it mostly came in small steady increments with nothing melting.

This bad January weather has been happening all over the East, Midwest and the South. We were talking with Katie and the kids on video chat and they were excited about all the snow they had in Philly. 

Yesterday I cleaned off the car three times. I've been trying to keep up with the snow shoveling. A few times this month I used the snowblower but mostly I've been shoveling. Yesterday later in the day the plows came by and buried our driveway with heavy street snow. So I had to go out there again and dig through it. Me and all the neighbors too. 

So later today we are going out for a fish fry with Dave and Donna down at the Parkside Meadow. We plan to walk there so we will be very bundled up. The temperatures will be about 9 or 10 degrees in the early evening.
