Here’s the coming ice age that was all the rage in the 70’s. The sun is less active. Sun less active = earth less warm.  Imagine that.

I’m so cold I’m holding a Dunkin Donuts extra large hot coffee between my feet. I don’t want to drink it because all the hot will be gone and I’d rather use it to apply to my cold extremeties. Plus I don’t like hot coffee. I like it cold. No use having all that heat go to waste.

Would you believe my car door was frozen shut? I guess the sprinklers went off in the night and watered that side of my car. There was a 1/4 inch thick sheet of ice on the passenger side of my car. At least the sprinklers didn’t freeze. The grass was all crunchy with ice. The boys and I stomped on it and enjoyed the crackly crunchy noise. Then we all got in the car and whined about how freakin cold it was. I’m having my dad send me down a case of ice scrapers when they go on clearance up north. I could make a killing selling them on freeze warning nights.

You know what’s funny? Tonight is supposed to be even colder. Which means tomorrow morning will be even colder. My kids don’t have mittens or gloves, so this should be interesting.

I’m trying to think of what to cook for dinner that would require me to slave over a hot stove.

   So sorry to hear your kids don’t have gloves. I take it you’re not used to such cold weather. Here in the mountains winter gloves are essential. I wish I could send you some but by the time you got them the cold snap would probably be over anyhow. Good luck getting through this.

   Thanks for the offer. You’re right, it will be spring in a week or so. Soon the heavenly smell of orange blossoms will be in the air.
