We've also had winter storms each weekend since 2 weeks before Christmas, plus some in between. We're getting another one today and tomorrow...then we get a day off and another winter storm coming Sunday. We've got so much snow...it's just nuts. Maddie and Libby sure don't stay out for long when they go out to do their business.
Love your picture of Eddie...and your video! I did that one day myself...when it was -24. I should have done a video. LOL | Oh, wow, I had no idea you guys were in the same boat. I sympathize! I usually expect a few subzero days, but we're breaking local records left and right. First, it was the number of days without a high above 0 (six). Now, it's the number of consecutive days of double-figure negatives (11).
We have a couple hundred athletes in town for the national cross country ski championships, but they can't race when it's more than 4 below. So all these kids saved their money for the big trip to Alaska, and they haven't been able to compete. |
