Baby It's Cold Outside!

For the past week we have had snow pretty much every day.  Now this does not come as much of a surprise since we do live in the North and the white stuff is a common sight this time of year.  However, this week, the powdery white stuff has been accompanied by freezing temperatures.  Freezing I tell you!  

Yesterday for example I got my kids up at 6:30am (way too early to be waking anyone up in my opinion!)  and shuffled them out the door to catch their bus in the balmy temperatures of -18°C.  That's -0.4°F for you Fahrenheit lovers out there.  That in itself is bad enough but when you add wind to the mix, my 3 babies actually ventured out the door and straight into -25°C (-16.6°F)  to go to school!

Thankfully enough their school has a policy that if temperatures are below -10°C that they stay inside all day.  That made the mama in me a happy person. Ü

It didn't however, keep me from having to go outside myself into our colder than deep freeze garage to fill the furnace, but oh well...Guess we can't have everything right?
