As most of us in the US (may) already know, there is a severe cold snap in the northeastern US. Temps are currently in the single digits Fahrenheit (so negative double digits Celsius), and almost everyone who's not a tourist is hunkered down in their homes. My family decided to stay home instead of going to church (a rarity when it's not snowing).
How's everyone else braving this cold snap?
... and I'm freezing in this poorly-heated rental home. Can't WAIT to move into a proper house, but that's next month.
The only time I went out yesterday was to grab food at a local Panera and boy, was it cold - my eyes actually teared up from the freezing wind blowing in my face! XD
I'm kinda thankful we got an apartment with good air conditioning, though. It's a decent 60 degrees in here.
We're scheduled to get snow and rain (freezing rain?) in our area come Monday. Hopefully the weather won't disable all the important stuff; university, my karate studio, public libraries...
It's a bit sunny today, but thankfully the chill is keeping the ground loaded with a couple of inches of snow. Forecast says a big snowstorm is inbound, though, so fingers crossed I can stay home tomorrow bundled up in a blanket cocoon.
...we had a sudden snowfall dump about half an inch last night, and we're supposed to get another six tonight.
*crosses fingers and hopes for a snow day*
