Baby, It's Cold Outside

January has come in with a narwhal. It was down into the minus teens today with windchills into the minus 70's (or something like that). Our poor furnace has been going all day just trying to keep up. Even walking past a window gives a bit of a chill.
Winter has really started kind of strongly here. Over Christmas we had a combination of snow, rain, thaw and refreeze. That means that our streets are in terrible shape. The non-emergency routes are now single lane with frozen ruts. Driving is going to be a bit dicey until we get some lengthy warm weather (March? April?). At least the main streets are well plowed and clear.
Can't believe we're only starting winter. Ugh.

Oh man--that sounds ugly. Our streets are clear and it is 70 degrees. Although Pudge has been busy shoveling sunshine.

Pat, you're doing the right thing. Soak up lots of sun and post plenty of pictures!
