Happy Freakin Freezin Friday

January 5, 2018 8:06am CST
After yesterdays snow it's nice to see the sun shining today. My area didn't get hit with as much as surrounding areas but we got enough to close the schools again today. I think the schools are closed today more because it's so darn cold than the snow. Anyway, life goes on and we're heading into the weekend. I don't have any plans for the weekend and just intend on staying home and doing some fun things....crocheting, reading and watching some tv shows that have been clogging up the DVR that I haven't had a chance to watch. Today is a normal day....laundry, vacuuming and general tidy up. My daughter went to work today and I hope she can leave a little early so her commute home isn't too bad. I worry about her driving such a long distance (each way) when you hear about so many accidents on the roads especially in bad weather. A mom never stops worrying no matter how old her children are. I'm going to get off on all the things I worry about as there probably isn't enough space even on the internet. Hope you are having a good day and safe & warm if you're suffering with this arctic cold/snow or enjoying the warmer temperatures and sunshine.

I still had some urgent things to do today. The weather was so nice yesterday, today was foggy and cold in the morning and now it's raining. Well', it's winter.

Freezing
We have been very fortunate so far in England. We had a few days of severe snow, but it soon disappeared.

I need to unclog my DVR too. There were some good movies over the holidays on TCM. Now to watch them. I'm guessing the cold has the schools closed too. Have a good day watching TV.

I hate when my dvr gets clogged with unwatched shows but I also hate to just sit and watch tv. Usually I crochet during tv time so I still feel like I'm accomplishing something plus it keeps my hands busy and I don't snack

@Marilynda1225 That's the best part of watching TV, keeping your hands busy so you don't snack. I have a lot of good movies I need to watch too. Good luck to both of us clearing them out.

I don't know what the temperature was when I woke up but it is 7 here now. The warmest it will be today is 13. The wind chill was supposed to be -35 below so they cancelled the public school here too where my daughter goes. My son and I are sitting and doing his cyber school.

@Marilynda1225 In town when I went it said it was 4 degrees. Not sure why the app on phone showed 7. My mother said tomorrow is supposed to be colder.

We got quite a bit of snow yesterday and it was really cold. Honestly we didn't do much. It wasn't the day to go out or do anything.

My day started out bright and full of sunshine. The clouds moved in by lunch and then in the early afternoon the snow began to fall. We've had about 20 cm so far, and its so cold and windy that the light snow is blowing everywhere and the visibility is terrible.

Our younger son FaceTimed us late morning. He seems to call us every day, bless him. He had to leave for a business appointment and as always, I told him to drive carefully. I say that to my husband, too. It's something we do. As loving mothers, we never stop worrying about our children. You enjoy your weekend indoors and be thankful you don't have to go out!
