Brrrrr!
It is cold here in Idaho! I’m not just talking about temperatures below freezing, I’m talking about temperature below 0 Fahrenheit! Not that it’s unusual weather for our area this time of year. It just took its time getting here and then slammed into us while we had our backs turned! With everyone around here being fairly used to the cold and snow, it takes a lot to close the schools. There has to be either snow falling in amounts that the snowplows cannot keep up and drifting is dangerous on the roads or temperatures of negative 20 (windchill factors of negative 45) degrees before they will close school. Thursday, Fremont County closed its schools because of excessive snow. Friday, at least 5 different counties in Eastern Idaho closed their schools because of low temperatures. Wrap your brain around that if you can! When I left for work on Friday morning, it was 22 degrees below zero! I think it warmed up all the way to minus 6 that day. Practically shorts weather! As I’m typing this, the Weather Channel is telling me that it’s 11 below zero, but that it feels like -26! You know, there’s a woman in Colorado selling snow from the recent blizzards on Ebay. Maybe I should try selling boxes of cold! Anyone have any blankets I can borrow?
brrrr
It has been almost 80 here recently but we are supposed to be getting the cold next week too.
Not THAT cold though.

It is supposed to be 74 here today. I put on a short sleeve shirt this morning and capri pants. I wish we would have some cold weather. I LOVE cold weather.
I’m sorry I haven’t been commenting as much lately. I am helping out with my mom and haven’t had much time to post or comment.
Blessings

A woman selling snow on e-Bay? Somehow that line belongs in a Joni Mitchell song or Sylvia Plath poem. It just has that feel to it.

Okay, I had to read your post twice. Below 0 temperatures would send Ky. into a state into a state of emergency. If it gets to 30, it’s cold, if it’s 20 they start to post warnings. My gosh its cold in Idaho.
