A wind chill of 100 below ZERO(!) seems like something out of a nightmare to somebody born in Dallas, Texas and lived all of my days here. It's 67 here now, the sun's been out all day and I'm covered in a heated throw and wore a jacket out to run errands today. 100 degrees below ZERO! There is no way people can live in that, my mind tells me. And kids! And Zada says kids went to school in weather that felt like it was 100 degrees below ZERO? I would be hospitalized asking for hot IV's, two dozen warming blankets and my feet in a toaster over if I'd had to open the door in weather like that, let alone go to school in it!!! Ya'll are just made of thicker skin or something and my hat it off to you. Are you freezing in your house right now? I would think so. Brrrrrrrrrrr. We had that one winter back in the early 90's where it was zero here one night and I thought I'd freeze in place but 100 degrees below that as to what the body feels is completely unimaginable. Is the wind howling and snow all over everywhere or just inches of ice? You would think a Yorkie would freeze in place after 3 seconds of walking out in that. I sure do hope you get some kind of decent weather before all your heating units break! I'm blowing up North as hard as I can.
