Cold Weather and Other Thoughts

I'm sure you are well aware of the cold weather snap we have had here in Kentucky. It was actually 1 below 0 this morning when I left for work at 7:20 a.m.! My thoughts were that I don't even have enough layers to put on without having to roll out the door in the bulky winter coat! So I proudly put on a long sleeve t-shirt with an oversize pull over sweater over, a pair of thick socks and warm pants and I was good to go. I then wrapped my scarf tightly around my neck and zipped up the bulky brown coat and was out the door to let the car warm up. I just can't imagine how people who live up north deal with those temperatures that way or below on a daily basis!! God bless their hearts. I'm ready for spring!!


What a miracle that happened yesterday with plane that had to land in the Hudson River. Even though I hate to hear of accidents such as this, it is nice to hear the stories of the passenger assisting each other and, for the most part, keeping calm through it all. They were definitely protected! Thank God they are okay!


It's a 3 day weekend and I am ready for the rest! Did I mention I'm ready for spring?


Have a great evening,
Susan

  1. Up here in Massachusetts, I deal with bitter cold about the same way you did: sweatpants as long underwear, under a skirt, thick sweater, scarf, fleece hat, and on days below 10 degrees, I bring out the neoprene face mask. Fortunately, even up here we don't get that cold that often.
