I'm going to be living in a jungle. It's really warm here!

It's 60 F out right now! I went to the grocery store and was "hot" in my Winter coat. I came home and checked the temperature. It's 60 F where I live. I heard on NPR this morning that the wind chill in my native Chicago is something like -20 F. But they didn't get the snow that was predicted, so they're happy. We are supposed to have rain and low temperatures above freezing for most of next week. I may have enough snow peas in a month or two to send them around the world! Cha-ching!

Oh wow! That's warm! In lovely Green Bay, Wisconsin, we aren't green. We're white. We have 7 lovely inches of white snow on the ground. We're still under a wind chill advisory until noon tomorrow when the winds will finally die down. The severe weather started on Thursday with two days of snow and now an additional two days of severe wind chill. Merry Christmas. I hope it's a wonderful day.

Our high today was 16F with a wind chill of -1F... The forecast says on Monday we'll have a 75% chance of snow again. Then Thursday and Friday we'll have temps around 65F.... Tell me Mother Nature doesn't have a sense of humor. I hope you enjoy your evening, pony.

The temperature and wind chills have been so very low for days here. Stepping outside requires bravery and stamina! We need a break, but weather rumor has it that we will have higher temperatures next Wednesday.

Some of the kids are getting umbrellas from Santa this year, and it sounds like it was good timing. The adult kids who use public transit to get back and forth to work are also getting pocket hand warmers.

It might get up to 10 degrees here today. I'm hoping the roads are in better condition than they were yesterday. 60 seems like a dream! It's supposed to be 56 this coming Saturday. It will be very welcomed!
