We came home from Phoenix a week ago Tuesday to a beautiful 60 degree day and the warning of snow and cold temperatures on the way. Every day for the past week has been so abnormally cold and I am starting to get real tired of it. Snow is not the problem, COLD is the problem here. Yesterday the high was only 7 degrees which caused problems such as frozen pipes, cars sliding and rolling off the roads, cars that won't even start and more. A cute sixth grade boy told me yesterday that we have been colder than Alaska? I looked it up and he is right, we are much colder! I was driving home from school last night and could not clean my windshield because the washer fluid froze on the windshield as it hit,
This morning at 5 am woke up to let the dogs out and Millie froze literally! She was stuck in the back yard and could not move and started to cry. I felt so bad! I had no idea it was -17 degrees out there. Millie had a sweater on but I guess I need to find her some snow booties? Negative 17 degrees, seriously?
As I write my blog and look outside to a beautiful sunny day, I think it should be a nice day today? Then I look to the morning news reporting school closures and delay because of extreme cold as they report the temperature has warmed up to -8 degrees with a wind chill factor of -30 degrees. Looks are deceiving.
