Can I vent here?

Well, since it is my blog, I guess I can vent here.

Okay, now this will not come as a surprise to most of you but I don't like winter. Given any situation without my family living in Illinois I cannot imagine ever living here voluntarily but they do live here so I guess I will continue to live here because I cannot imagine having to get on a plane to see my or my husbands family.

But this has become a bit ridiculous. I think we went below zero sometime Wednesday evening and now on Friday afternoon we are still below zero. I am used to ocasionally during the winter hearing that it is colder here than Alaska but as of yesterday morning it was colder in Freeport Illinois than at both of the poles. Rumor has it that we should see positive numbers sometime today but I don't believe them. It is now 12:15 pm and we have only gotten up to -10 but I guess that is better than the -24 that is was when I got to work this morning. (Just so you all know the temps I am mentioning are real air temps not wind chill temps.)

Tomorrow we should see +22 which should feel like a heat wave. Just think about it almost 50 degrees above where we were this morning. Big swing!!

Well, I will just ask that if you are also enduring this mess please stay warm and safe. If you are somewhere warm, please send a plane ticket.

God Bless and have a great day!!
