It's beautiful there, my Son is a great skier but broke his leg using the slopes when he and his pals should not have. That reminds me the door to their motel room was frozen open....yes open, about three inches but not what you'd say cozy weather like that. It wasn't 10 below when they tried to ski but conditions were not good. It was Christmas time, I will never forget it, there were only three people in the hospital and he was one of them.

They still talk about the fun they had that trip. I better go check the weather.

CNN just said that it's colder in Atlanta Georgia than in Anchorage Alaska right now.

Just to keep you up on Ohio, we just hit zero, tonight should be a humdinger.

Ann will feed you some amazing food. I recommend that you request brownies for dinner.

Small dusting of snow through the evening.
They plowed all night and the parking lots are still a mess.

It is around 4 degrees right now with a windchill of -20.

Even colleges will be closed again tomorrow.

ETA: None of this has stopped me from my frozen soda addiction.

We were down to 14 last night but tonight here near Dallas we're only going down to 19! I forgot and turned my thermostat down very low yesterday since it was hot in the house and woke up to the below 60 degree house this morning with an ERCOT warning on TV and Twitter that Encore might have to start rolling blackouts due to a power emergency while I was trying to warm up my house! It was FREEZING in here and I was really praying the central heat could get it warmed up before they turned off the power for 45 - 60 minutes! But thankfully, in an hour they got more power from nearby and got the problem fixed and rescinded the power emergency alert though we are urged to keep our thermostats at 68 when home, lower when we leave. But here in Texas we're not in the dangerous temps like so many are - saying prayers for everyone who is. Hope everyone here is staying safe and warm and keeping those babies in the house where it's warm.

Alright, now this is not funny. I guess one doesn't have to go to Hawaii or Arizona but California would be nice too.

Oh, I thought you meant that was the entire dinner and getting a little worried here. I do bet if they were, it would be wonderful.

Oh, lord, can't blame them! Minus 14 degrees that feels like 40 below! I would think your central heat or furnace just runs all the time. Back in '89 or '90, we got to -1 here one December and the heat literally stayed on nonstop. The air was so dry from the central heat being on so long I had to run the crock pot with just water in it and the lid off to get some moisture in the air. I was worried the central heat unit would just break it ran so long. I pray you keep your lights and heat!
