After a while, the term cold becomes questionable. Just how cold is cold? In the summer, temperatures inside under air conditioning that are in the 60s are "cold". However, this morning, we were COLD. The thermometer in the car read -11. Yikes, now that is really cold!
And this cold is just part of this ongoing crazy winter. We just got done with a snow fall that gave us an additional inch or so on top of the 10 inches we had a few days before. Our driveway gets plowed and the guys are getting somewhat creative on how they deal with the snow. We have a mound of snow in the back, next to the SUV that is so high Honey has not been able to navigate over it. Honey and I have worked out our system for her walks. I wore my "high" boots that lace up mid calf the first day or so after the ten inches. We then trail blazed paths up the small hill next to the driveway. This started before we were plowed and has continued so the trail is now a tamped down path that winds its way through the woods and has several accesses from the driveway. Unfortunately one access is now under that mound of snow!
And now we are expecting another storm - referred to as a nor'easter so you know it's not going to drop just a few inches. The amount we will get continues to change - it appears to be in the 8 to 10 inch range. Should start tonight and into tomorrow. At least we aren't expecting any ice. We were out yesterday to make sure we had needed food supplies - bread, milk, eggs and a few other goodies thrown in. So we are set. Right now the sun is shining and the temperature has warmed up a bit. We should get into the teens today. Looking ahead, more moderate temperatures are expected by next week. It's getting there that is the concern.
