Rising temperature

This winter has been awfully wintery. We've had bitterly cold temperatures for the past five weeks, with very little relief, and quite a bit of snow fall as well. Last night, the wind chill hit -53 C (-63 F) (actual temperature -40 C) and it wasn't much better during the day. This is getting very old! Thankfully, the forecast for this weekend is great... highs at zero (32 F) or near zero for the next four days! It will feel so warm by comparison.

***
Today I'm thankful for:

  • flexibility in my job (I took the afternoon off today with little notice)
  • my warm coat, hat, scarf, and mittens
  • Neil (everyday!)

This is the meaning of success. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
