A lot of people like snow. I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water. ~Carl Reiner
It has been absolutely freezing in our place. This is the first time this winter that we've had the temperature plummet with the windchill at -39C today and -41 at its coldest point yesterday. We have had a heck of a lot of snow though, which is considered mild weather in these parts. It's either dealing with beautiful blue skies and freezing cold or snow and/or freezing rain and sleet. We are housebound with our pets. Luckily there are only a couple more days to get through so we just have to grin and bear it. Not fun. I can hear the wind howling outside, it sounds like our house is going to blow away with us all in it. We don't have enough heat in here, so lots of layering and blankets. Our front door keeps freezing shut and our windows are frozen too. Our backdoor is okay so we just have to go around the house and kick in the front door every so often. Fortunately we don't have it as bad as other parts of the country. One of my sister's lives in Alberta and is fighting -50C windchill. I think we're just short of being Popsicle's now, so I'm sure we would be if it were -50C here. It's hard not to have anxiety when you're freezing cold; so I suggest getting as cosy as possible and wrapping up in a blanket, make some nice hot herbal tea, watch a comforting movie, show or read a book. I like to watch the travel channel sometimes when I'm feeling anxious. No scary shows or books and especially steer away from anything apocalyptic. Comedy is always a great choice.
Laughter is an instant vacation. ~Milton Berle
