I live in the upper Midwest (rural SW Minnesota) and our weather has been crazy for the past 3 weeks! We are just finished digging out from a blizzard on Thursday and have had daytime highs in the negative single digit range more than once in this stretch! My kids have had 6 snow days and 5 two-hour late starts in the same time span….CRAZY!
Renee says
In Wisconsin it is a -10 degrees at 7:45 this am. Maybe we will see a high of 13 today. More snow on the way. At least it is not a -25 without the wind chill like we had a week ago. Spring can’t come fast enough for me. Have a great and warm day Mavis!
April says
Ditto with Renee. Central Wisconsin is cold. Although the sun is out today. But without the winter, spring would not be as sweet.
Mavis, I miss your daily plans for the day. You have kept me motivated. Are you in a funk like I am? I have so much to do before spring. I know once the weather is nice, I will regret not getting these inside chores/cleaning/organizing/ sewing /scrapbooking projects done. Because I have a temporary job in the Fall, I always plan to get my Christmas cards made in January and to get some Christmas sewing projects done. Need motivation !!
Mel says
It’s in the 30s here, which is not super cold, but my office is in the high 70s or low 80s (due to an HVAC issue that won’t be fixed for months), so choosing what to wear and what to pack for lunch is a serious challenge. I can manage the clothes to a point by layering, but it’s derailing my meal planning to have wintery things like soup for dinner and need separate, summery things for lunch. I tried continuing to just take leftovers, and it was too hot in my office to eat. I feel insane packing a thermos of ice coffee every morning as well.
Gigi says
That’s kind of comical in a sad sort of way. I worked in a Chicago high rise for a few years and due to poor windows, one side would be running air conditioning and the other would run heat depending on where the sun was.
Erin says
Eastern Iowa here…26 (above…that’s important to say these days). More snow for Sunday morning and even more for Monday night. 9 snow days to make up so far for school and counting.
