Ugh, and They Had to be Right

Sometimes it stinks when the weather dudes are right. As predicted, we had super chill wakeup temperatures today. And with that windchill, there's no way the kiddos would be safe waiting for any buses or walking to school.

Good call, school officials.

Of course, these days there's not a lot of REAL snow or weather days. Thanks to what everyone figured out in the pandemic, there a virtual learning days. Sorry, kids. You missed out on the good old days.

It was 67 degrees in San Antonio today – hubby's work destination – that's an 85-degree temperature differential. But good for him, right? He was sick all of January so he deserves a spot of warmth!

Meanwhile I stopped on the way home tonight and pumped a few gallons of gas as quickly as I could so I wouldn't have to do it in the morning. Another sub-sub-zero day! 

Please, please be careful out there. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, er week. But for now, it's time to be smart Midwesterners and bundle up!

Popsicle Prediction

I was going to complain about our minus 8 wake-up temperature today... until I saw a high school classmate who lives in Dickinson, N.D., had a legit minus 31 with a minus 45 windchill. Holy crap!

Still, the Deep Freeze is moving this way. And has prompted area school closings tomorrow with a predicted windchill of -32 here when kids normally would be waiting for the bus. Good call.

At least two people in my family are lucky enough to be flying to warmer climes tomorrow. My only request is "Save room in your luggage to bring back the heat!" Does that ever work? I sure hope so!

While I did have to go into town after work for my 6-week hair appointment, I'm staying in tonight and watching The Voice. I may or may not already have turned on my heated mattress pad. 😁

Please be extra careful out there!!
