I'm glad that things are better with the nurse. I'm sure that you're more than ready to go home after 2 days in the hospital!! Can you even get home? Is the snow cleared from the roads yet?

I hope everyone up north is warm and safe! It is butt cold down here (for us). Lots of frozen pipes around town, none for us, thankfully. People down here are just not used to this kind of cold weather. I've seen people walking around in sweatshirt hoodies as a coat. I imagine that's all they've got - it just rarely gets this cold for this long down here.
We actually had to buy Gary a new down coat. His was 25 years old (rarely worn so in good shape) but (ahem) it wouldn't zip. LOL! We stopped at a western shop and they had ONE black down jacket in extra large and it fit and it was on SALE! We were lucky because Gary has monkey arms (long arms) and sometimes shirts and jacket sleeves are too short for him. This jacket fit perfectly though. We are supposed to have snow tonight and tomorrow - again, pretty unusual for us, although we had a dusting last winter too. Everyone bundle up and stay warm!

Oh Gayle, it's BEAUTIFUL up here
 It was -3 degrees C (26.6 F) and the highways were muddy and melting on our way into the city this morning. My coworker from Arizona said it was -8C in Arizona this morning when he checked the weather. I can't believe it's February and warmer in Saskatchewan than Arizona lol!

What I wore to school today:
Knit pantyhose, knee highs, socks, pajama pants and jeans. Muscle shirt, shirt, turtleneck, turtleneck sweater, hood sweater and long jacket. Gloves on top of gloves and ear covers. No joke, I can't stand the cold. |

LOL! Jessica, that's the way I feel - I can't get enough clothes on!
I just talked to my daughter and she is in Houston for the weekend. She said sleet was coming down and when I looked at the radar, sure enough, you can see sleet/snow in the Houston area. None yet here in Austin (fingers crossed). Lindsay, that is too funny! My friend in Denver, Colorado said their high temp was higher than ours here in Austin and they don't have any chance of snow where we have a 50% chance! Go figure!

Oh Jessica, be glad you live where you do because I don't think you could survive here
It's now +3 degrees C which is about 37 degrees F. I'm wearing a sleeveless knit sweaterdress with thin black knit leggings and boots... and this isn't even jacket weather! In just ONE DAY the temperature difference was about 40 degrees Celsius, and so about 77 degrees Fahrenheit. That temperature change is crazy! We're supposed to dip back down way below freezing on Sunday... back to below normal temperatures.

We were out of school for three days too and I really didn't think the kids should have gone back when they did. The roads are still not very clear to have the school buses out running. We're suppose to get more snow next week. I haven't heard if we're suppose to get much or not so I guess we'll see. We ARE having some really cold weather though......bbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!! |

We were out 3 days last week too. When we went back on Friday...the roads were bad, but the buses handle it so much better than being in a car. Today...Rick and went to town. I needed to get the rest of Mom's meds and get a few groceries. We couldn't hard see all the way to town because of whiteout conditions. Even in town there were whiteouts.
We were suppose to get 2-4 inches of snow, but we got more like 6 on top of the 3 inches of ice/sleet and 3 inches of snow we already had. Monday they are calling for 1-3 more inches of snow. This has really got to stop....I'm not a snow fan as most of you know. I love being at home....but not being stuck at home. Hopefully the roads will be cleared off quickly.
