Shivering-January 24, 2014

A report came out earlier this week that claimed shivering in the cold makes a person lose weight. If that is true, we will be skin and bones by tomorrow morning! We have a solid sheet of ice on the inside of the front windshield. In all fairness, it's 26° outside and it is only a single pane of glass. Our other windows are doubled paned. We did have a dusting of snow last night. They say the sun will come out today but it is not doing well so far.

Coming in here I remarked to Jerry as we drove through those elevated interstate flyovers that I would not want to have to be on them if they were iced over. So we were not shocked to see huge pile-ups on those roads on the news last night. There was one 20 car pile up and those cars were so high up in the air it made me nervous for the people in them.

If need be we will stay indoors today, too. We got a lot of rearranging done yesterday. We completed some necessary paperwork we had been postponing. And I made a huge crockpot of homemade vegetable soup, so it was not a wasted day.

I hope you are all warm and dry wherever you are.

a windshield that also has a coating of ice on it. Jerry thought I needed to add this to the blog.

It makes me colder! The ice is much worse than a little snow.
