Holy %$*& It is cold out there
The last three days have been the kind of days that make you wonder why the entire population of the United States is not crammed into Florida and Arizona. The high temp yesterday was a whopping 1 degree. We don't live in Fargo for Peet's sake - this is southern Wisconsin where global warming has prevented day time temps from dropping below 32 degrees, and winters now go by with only a few inches of snow.
We've gotten very spoiled by El Nino and El Nina - whichever makes it warmer. For three solid days it has been below zero. Lambs have spent their nights in our basement. I get up and get two full sets of clothing. Two pair of pants. Five or six shirts. Two pair of socks (unless the really good ones we splurged on this year are clean, then its only one.) If there were a way to wear two pair of shoes, I would. And that's just to stay in the house.
To go outside one has to wear a sort of brownish spacesuit looking thing made by Carharrt or Walls. That's over the whole double outfit. I look so hot in triple layers. Totally hot.
So tomorrow, it is supposed to warm up to 12 degrees and be sunny. We are all very excited about this. Today, on top of the artic chill, mother nature dropped 5 inches of snow on us in just under 3 hours. My Jeep was very excited to ramble about, but the rest of us have had enough winter.
Wow - what happened to that tropical vacation anyway? This is punishment for it I am sure.
