A Long Week in The Deep Freeze

It has been 12 yrs since it has been this cold in Iowa. The kids had an early out this week on Tuesday due to a scare of blowing snow. Well we didn't get the blowing snow, but temperatures dipped into the negative numbers. On Thursday we had a low of -18 with -30 windchill. The schools started cancelling classes as early as 3pm on Wednesday for Thursday. I hesitated on going into work on time, thought about being late. But there is a tumbling exhibition on Friday night and the kids have had little prep time, so there will be practice Wed and 3 hrs Thurs. I kept warm by doing some much needed dusting under the bleachers.
