Dangerous Cold and Wind Chills

Many schools and even business have closed today because our temperatures are way below zero.  It hasn't been this way in 20 years.  Anyone under 40 has never experienced temperatures like this.  The wind chill brings it down even farther to -50 or even -60.  The sun is out which makes you feel better.  However, it does nothing to warm anything up.  Even animals are suffering if they are an outside animal or pet.  Tomorrow will be slightly warmer but not a whole lot.  Then it should start warming to 30 by the weekend.  Everyone will be happy about that.

WAY Below Zero Today

Wow! Was it cold today and tomorrow isn't going to be much better. It was 11 below zero when we got up this morning with a wind chill of -34. We really had no intensions of venturing out in this stuff for a few days as the week is supposed to be very cold. It may reach zero in the morning tomorrow. Whoopee!!

Schools were delayed 2 hours due to the terrible wind chills. It would be bad if the buses quit for any reason out there in the country picking up kids. We saw a car get a flat tire on our way to town this afternoon and that is a bad thing to happen when it is so bitter cold. That is where cell phones are definitely a real blessing to have with you.
