Meltdown


This past week was soooooo cold. I don't mind cold, but when the wind chill dips down to double digits below zero - then I become a big baby. This is the cold that I can't stand.


It is so difficult to function in this kind of weather. And forget washing the car. My car was so full of salt and sand from the roads that it was white instead of black, but I couldn't wash it for fear that the doors and locks would freeze shut. Also, the house felt cold all week and we were all huddled under numerous layers of blankets at night. Basically, the whole week is a blur due to brain freeze.


Now, it is supposed to hit 50 tomorrow - begin Meltdown! We have a lot of snow piled up outside - so look out for flooding! It is also supposed to rain. RAIN! What is that??? It's January -in Wisconsin - not April. Crazy. At least I can clean up the sand off of the garage floor and do I dare wash the car?

The weather is crazy here, too. Yesterday it was 65 degrees and everything melted. The kids played outside all day. Last night there was a thunder storm. Now today it is snowing again.

Ahhhh...Brain Freeze - Frozen Car Door Locks - Huddling in Blankets INSIDE the House...

I forgot about that part of winter in Wisconsin - thanks for reminding me! Thank goodness for the unexpected warm weather, right?!!
