My eyes are cold!

Weather is a constant topic of conversation at our house. How much rain fell last night? Is snow predicted? Which way is the wind blowing? Frost tonight? The current weather question is: will the temperature be above zero today? For the past few days the answer has been 'no, maybe tomorrow.'

The temp when we got up this morning was -29 - without windchill. At that temperature, even your eyeballs are cold!

A fun experiment to try - boil some water, pour it carefully into a coffee mug, step outside and throw it up and away from yourself. Well, you also need really cold temperatures to see what should happen - or what happens are our house right now.

Matthew is heading out to give the barn cats some water and check their food supply. They have a heat lamp to keep them warm, but need fresh water frequently.

Today is an inside day - perhaps we can get some projects completed, a closet cleaned out or something like that.

I hope you are keeping warm!
