The Frozen Tundra we call home

Before Dan and I moved down here, I was reassured that Indiana winters were no where in comparison as bad is Michigan winters...until Dan and I moved down here...Apparently, this year Indiana is experiencing a winter that surpasses all others. Let me illustrate for you...our high yesterday was -2 degrees.... NEGATIVE TWO DEGREES!!!!!!!!!! That does not even include wind chill which was -35 degrees...yes you saw that correctly NEGATIVE THIRTY FIVE!!! At least Dan didn't have school yesterday. Of course, I didn't have it today and he did-but his school is to the point where they would have to add days at the end of the school year.

I like to describe our city as the frozen tundra...flat, windy, and FRIGID. The weatherman even described the temperature as BRUTAL today- BRUTAL!!! It was SO cold this morning that our car didn't start. I guess that's what happens in -17 degree temperatures...If any of you have a spare $500 PLEASE send me to the wonderful California. I need to thaw out!

The only redeeming fact is that the sun is shinning. Needless to say, this does NOTHING for the temperature--but it sure makes Jennifer a little easier to deal with :)

Here's some pictures of my schools playground yesterday:
Beautiful, I know...Rumor has it a heat wave is coming through and we might reach 20 degrees on Saturday-then 35 degrees next week!!! Let's pray that heat wave comes.

Until next time,

God Bless

January?

So we’re working our way through January now.  It has been one of those months where nothing exciting seems to be happening.  It has been extremely snowy and very cold.  Tomorrow, our high is –2.  Hopefully Jennifer will be able to add some pictures of what it looks like outside.

I don’t really have anything else to say.  To be honest, I’m trying out a new blogging program right now so this is sort of like a test.  Hopefully it goes well.
