This past week we, along with half of the rest of the U.S., have had some pretty ridiculous weather. And by ridiculous, I mean COLD! We didn't get the massive snow that everyone else got, but we certainly got the cold. The "arctic air" hit us last Monday morning and hung around until Thursday. We had lows near -20 and wind chills up (or down rather) to -45! I've worked up a few examples so that you can properly understand exactly where I am coming from.
It was so cold that....there was ice on the inside of our windows.
It was so cold that....our Jeep sounded like it was going to take off into outer space when turned on after a day of being outside.
It was so cold that....our neighbor's (and many other people's) pipes busted.
It was so cold that....it literally took our breath away to go outside.
It was so cold that....when Windex was sprayed on the inside of a window, it froze almost immediately.
It was so cold that....when it got above 0, we were all ecstatic.
I could go on, but you get the picture. While all of this was going on, Sadie came down with the flu. Poor baby. It's been a long few days, but I am happy to say that while she isn't back to 100% she is doing a lot better now. Overnight last night we got about 2 inches of snow, and Andrew and Parker decided to go outside and play this afternoon while Sadie was napping.
Here is Parker all bundled up and ready to go out!
