I looked at our local CBS weather site for records we broke - nothing. If you want to see the temperatures here in the Toledo, OH, area, check it out. I won't try to find it for this blog.
HOW COLD WAS IT, JUDI?
It was so cold my butter, sitting on the counter, was as hard as it would be in the refrigerator.
It was so cold I went to bed four nights fully dressed - only kicked off my shoes.
It was so cold even my down comforter wasn't enough to keep me warm. I wrapped my knees
(which feel the cold terribly) in a wool lap robe and put my wool afghan on top of the comforter.
It was so cold when I went to the basement to do my laundry I wore my winter coat.
It was so cold many nights my inside thermometer, registering the outside temperature, was a
minus degree.
It was so cold that same thermometer showed minus degrees when I got up in the morning.
It was so cold schools were closed many, many days.
It was so cold the city shut down. One night I counted 69 closings that scrolled on the bottom
of my TV.
It was so cold I dragged the wool afghan from chair to chair to cover my lap. When I sat down
at night, in my favorite chair, I had a wool shawl wrapped around my shoulders, the wool
afghan over my lap and the wool throw wrapped around my knees.
It was so cold that I wore layers of clothes, sometimes three layers.
It was so cold that we all waited until today to go out and do errands because it is...... are you
ready.......30 degrees. Oh my gosh, we're having a heat wave!
Through all this cold, cold, cold, cold weather the furnace ran. Through this cold weather our
water pipes held fast. Through this cold weather our cars started. And the sun shone many
days. I suffered from cabin fever a few times but at least the sun came through the windows
and it helped cheer me up. Soon it will be February and before we know it, it will May and June
and we can bitch about the heat.
HAHA. What would we do without the weather? Thanks for keeping heat up, so it's pretty cozy up here!
