I just got back in from giving the outside cats their food and warm water. Then I headed to the garage to check on the truck and run it for a while. It was insanely cold. There is a meme that goes around saying, “the air hurts my face. Why do I live where the air hurts my face?”
That was me, this morning.
As soon as I got back in, I checked the temperatures.
-30C/-22F is bad enough on its own, but a wind chill of -39C/-38F? The wind is only 8kmh/5mph, too.
Yes, we are still under an ongoing extreme cold warning.
The sun hasn’t even risen yet, though at least it’s light out right now. This is actually the coldest we’ve been for the night. We’re supposed to get overnight lows of -33C/-27F at about 4am. It is expect to still be in the -30C/-22F range when we’ll be trying to get Fluffy into a carrier for her vet appointment. We are expected to have lows below -30C/-22F for the next 5 nights, even as the daytime highs start to warm up.
You know what? I think I’d put up with the spiders, snakes an alligators right now!
I really feel for the people that have to commute to the city right now. Thank God we don’t have to. Just the trip into down to take the truck to the garage is pushing it for me these days.
I am so done with winter.

Yikes, that’s pretty cold! Spiders don’t bother me much, but I do prefer to avoid snakes. Near as I can tell, the weather is going to start to turn and warm up a bit this week. Hang in there and stay warm.
