School's closed



I live in a Midwest state, and the weather has been very brutal this winter so far. To think we still have at least 2 months left of winter. This is the 2nd emergency school closing we have had so far this school year. The first closing was due to the foot of snow we received, and this one today is because of the temperature. This morning the temperature is sitting at -15 degrees. The high temperature that is expected for today will be a -3. That is without the wind chill factor. This cold weather will be around until tomorrow. I am a 12 month school employee and is expected to report to work on emergency school closing days; however, today I have opted to take a vacation day. This is not normally how I would spend a vacation day, but I would rather be in the comfort of my own home on a extremely cold bone chilling day like today. I can not remember the last time the temperature has gotten this low. I like most people (there are some that enjoy the winter months) am ready for spring to get here.

That's crazy!!! I'm not a winter person at all either.

I was wondering if you were going to blog about the bone chilling weather you are enduring right now. Too cold for me! We might get rain in the Pacific NW, but we don't ever get that cold.

Bundle up, get the wood crackling in the fire place and enjoy your vacation day.

I have the honors of being able to take Mr. Lincoln out for his walks. Lets just say I only take him out when he starts whinning. Just to let you know, I am bundled in a sweatshirt and about 2 jackets, earmuffs, a hat, scarf and 2 pair of gloves. Thanks for the gloves Sher Sher.

I say, "Can you feel your nose". Hopefully, it is too chilly out there for Lincoln and he would see the necessity in getting his business down at lightening speed.
