Well, looks like the snow is here for a while. It's gonna be hard for it to melt when it's 5 degrees!!!! It's suppose to be -4 tonight for a new record.
I did venture out yesterday about 3:30 to head up to my folks. I was really wanting some real food. So I got all the stuff on and headed that way. I took off my glasses so I could pull my double bandannas up higher. I had to head into the north wind the whole way. Problem with taking off my glasses is I can't see! I couldn't tell where the drifts were and walked into several. I got half the way and thought my lungs were going to explode. No joke! I only fell once.
I made it to the folks back door. Dad keeps a little black stool there so he can put on his boots. I collapsed on the black stool and started peeling off the layers. About that time my Mom came around the corner. I told her I wouldn't be volunteering to help with chores!
I'm a wuss, what can I say?!?!?!
Now you've had a taste of an Alaskan winter! Negative digits and deep snow! Thankfully our negative temps only last a week or too and are mostly in January. The best thing is to just stay in doors when at all possible! How does the livestock fair in weather like this?
