Good Monday to you all, They said it was going to be brutally cold today and I don’t think they were wrong. Right now it is a nice 1F (-17C) with winds at 18mph making the temperature feel like -17F (-27C). I went out to fill the gas tank in the car, and I think that is enough outdoor activity for me for the day. Since I have no reason to be outside, I will stay in. I seen a guy I know is homeless walking towards the library and I’m hoping he was headed there to get indoors for a while. It’s too cold to be out there for too long. Hope the weather is a little nicer where you are, if not make sure to be careful out there and stay warm.

It is 36 degrees in Oklahoma right now, which isn’t bad compared to so many other people’s circumstances. This Saturday though it should drop to 17 degrees. I am glad I don’t have any doctor appointments this week.

We were at 13F this morning when my daughter and I had to leave for a specialist appointment 70 miles away... We had flurries off and on all day and a 12 mph wind. But we still weren't as cold as you were. I'm glad you didn't need to be out in the cold today. I was very happy when we got home around noon. It had warmed up to 21F by then.

@Bensen32 I'd rather not be out in anything below freezing if I can help it. Thank you. I hope you're being careful and safe.

@DaddyEvil I don't think many of us want to be out in it, but we do what we have to do.

Unfortunately it's been that cold here today. As much as I don't like it, it's one of the few really cold days we've had this winter.

@Bensen32 We have some coming for this weekend as well. Like -30C ish. Not too happy about it, but not much I can do about that. Probably not go far this weekend.

It was decent and George enjoyed the porch with just one sweatshirt today. Yesterday we tried, but couldn't stand to be out.
