Hey, we got 10.5 inches of snow last night, whipped into a frenzy with 30-40 mph winds...no whining!
ReplyDeletehey, our windchill is twenty-seven below, too! fun!
ReplyDeleteHey, I think I can whine! I don't remember it EVER getting this cold last winter. They had an article in the school paper yesterday that said we have had 44 inches of snow already this winter, which is more than the ENTIRE winter for half of the last 10 years. And as they put it, "we still have 5 months of winter left." Really?! Winter had better be over by May!
