It’s 6 degrees this AM and wind chill is -5. It will bust today’s record low by quite a bit. Snow yesterday was 7 inches at our house. Doesn’t sound like much but this part of the world is not used to cold or snow.
I grew up in Boulder,CO and have lived in some other places much colder and snowier even than Boulder such as northern IA and and Cheyenne.
I seem to be the only one around here who is enjoying the snow and cold. I do prefer not to be out on the road because the idiot drivers around here have absolutely no clue about driving on ice. On my way home Weds I saw at least 10accidents including a semi that I saw jackknife on the other side of the highway. Thankfully he didn’t hit anybody but from the looks of the DOT website they closed that part of the highway going both directions until yesterday AM.
