Baby, It’s Cold Outside

We have lucked out here in Chicago. We have had very little snow, and it has not been all that cold here. Well, that is until this week. This week we have had rain, freezing rain, sleet, and even snow (and that was just yesterday!!!). The really bad thing about that is normally by this time our bodies have adjusted to the super cold weather. However, since it has been so warm, this is a huge shock to most of our systems (unless you are looking for menopause relief. Then walking outside here is perfect!).  To be honest, I was enjoying having a forty degree winter.  Yes, my kids were missing the snow.  However, it makes driving so much nicer.  It makes getting the kids to school so much nicer.  I just have a feeling that we are just going to get one monster snowstorm and get 12 inches of snow dumped on us again (you know, like last year!).

How has the weather been where you all live?  Are you crazy warm or crazy cold?  I know I’ve got friends in Florida who have said that it is very cold there compared to what it normally should be.  Stay warm! (And if you do need menopause relief, check out Amberen on Twitter or Amberen on Facebook).

 

Snow Day!

It is terrible here in Illinois.  This is what my house looks like this morning:

We broke our back door trying to open it this morning.  My house is a sheet of ice.  We have about 4 inches of snow.  On top of that, we have freezing rain, so it is definitely an interesting combination we have going on out there.  We watched the traffic report starting quite early this morning, and at this point, Bill isn’t even going to try and go to work.  The bad thing is that he left his laptop at work, so he’s trying to do what he can from his cell phone.  It actually was hailing and snowing at the same time this morning if you can believe it.  We are hoping to take the kids out a tad later and maybe build a snowman.  However, the snow is more like ice chunks, so I don’t know how easy that is going to be.
