Ok, it isn't snowing outside, but school is closed. Huh? School is closed due to extreme cold temperatures. This is a first for me. I've never heard to such! So, if this isn't a snow day, is it just a cold day?
The cold front (didn't know you could have a cold front when it was already cold) moved in at around midnight causing the temperatures to dip into the negative numbers. According to weather.com, we woke up to -7 degrees, but feels like -29 degrees. The wind chill today is supposed to be something like -10 to -15 degrees. Insane!
So, what does that kind of cold feel like? Don't ask me because I'm not going out in it. I can tell you that my body knows the difference between 6 degrees and 15 degrees, and 15 degrees and 24 degrees, and 24 degrees and 32 degrees. I don't need a thermometer or a weatherman to tell me the temperatures on most days. I don't think my body will ever get used to it being this cold. I like temperatures of no lower than 52 degrees outside and no higher than 65 degrees inside.
I think our little family will thaw once we move to Texas. According to weather.com, the temperature in Del Rio this morning is 66 degrees warmer than here. That is also insane! It will be a big change for us. We will be going from one extreme to the other.
So, those of you enjoying above freezing temperatures today, be thankful! Enjoy the simple things like walking out to the mailbox without getting frostbite, driving over a river that isn't frozen, only wearing one layer of clothing, and your kids being able to go outside and play!
Happy Winter!
