20 degrees below zero. Wind chill factor of 30 to 40 below zero. Brrrrrrrrrrrr.................... But we are home safe and warm. Imma have me a little eggnog. ![]() Then Imma hook on my rug some more, and we'll watch a movie. Hubby and daughter are Wii-ing right now. Winter is not so bad, if you know how to live.

Just a wee dram of the scotch, and you'll be positively toasty there, George! I'm on my way. |

5 inches of snow last night and today. Another 6-10 tonight and tomorrow. I'm glad I went out at 9 last night to get gas for the snow blower! |

Pretty chilly here, too. Was considering making a Keoke coffee: rub lemon on the rim of a glass mug, dip in granulated sugar. Add 1 1/2 ozs coffee liqueur and brandy, fill with hot coffee and top with whipped cream. Problem is we had no heavy cream and it's fricking cold outside. Couldn't bring myself to go out on a reconnaissance mission for cow juice. I had Scotch instead. Didn't work. I still want my coffee. |

Where are you located Brenda. Here in TO we have wind chill of - 24C about -12 F. Eleven years ago tonight we had 118 centimeters of snow. The army was called in to dig us out. We still haven't lived that down.lol The heat pump in my condo was finally fixed this week. ( the compressor had shorted). I have it set to 75F. It's toasty warm. |

I don't know what it got down to, but last night was the first night I had a heater going all night and it was right next to the bed. Socks on, and a sweater in bed and a kitten pile right next to me hunkered down in the blankets. |
| And how are you today? | |

Our cats help us keep warm at night, too. We have two big furry heaters. ![]() They like to lay by our feet, or one will lay between my ankles. It's surprising how much warmth they add to the bedcovers. |

Try one of these. We love it. And it doesn't purr all night long. |

Identifying narcissists isn't difficult. Just look for the person who is constantly fishing for compliments and admiration while breaking down over even the slightest bit of criticism. We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences. | |

From the weather service tonight:
Sounds like a mom advisory. When they start advising to wear clean underwear, it will no longer be funny. |
