Wierd thing about cold weather in MN is that it is usually sunny outside during the day because the cloudless sky allows any heat to disapper into the atmosphere during the night. Anyway, when riding in the car or sitting inside it doesnt seem as cold out than the temperature says it is. Maybe it is just me? Of course the wind is another story.

We have freezing rain today, but it hasn't stopped the robins from snacking on the berries left on my hawthorne trees.

Me and old Max are still encased in ice this morning. There is a glimmer of hope on the horizon for this afternoon. I got my newspaper this morning by going out the garage door, carefully across one step of sidewalk, across frozen lawn, threw a rug across the public sidewalk, onto parking strip grass and, viola, I had the newspaper in hand. Did the reverse to get back in the house with no slips or falls.

OK, anyone who says -5 is balmy is, well, just plain balmy! <wink> Max, great pic of the robin. We don't have many robins here in San Diego (I think they like the colder climes). Ice! Ophilia, I can't believe you went thru all that to get the paper. What a good idea, though... never thought to throw a rug out to walk across an ice patch. (OK, I admit. I've never actually HAD to walk across an ice patch!) We are having warm weather today... temps should be in the low 70's in the city, and upper 70's in the east county area. Sunshine... ahhhh... I'll send y'all some really warm thought rays!

Ok, this is really COLD weather for floods, but that's what we have down here in the pointy part of Illinois. The Ohio and Mississippi and Illinois and the Wabash rivers are well above flood stage. My sump pump has not shut off since I got home from Munich. Now with the severe cold weather, the flooded waters are freezing into really big ice rinks. Roads are underwater. The lake by my house is extremely high, too, but NOTHING like the rivers. They even shut down the riverboat casino in Metropolis (home of Superman!) due to the flooding. Metropolis is flooded at least three blocks in and has been for five days. People are going to work in john boats. One town is at 52 feet, with flood stage at 33. Paducah is 8 feet above flood stage. Cairo is 13 feet above flood stage. Most are cresting today or tomorrow, thankfully.

In fact it is 65 degrees right now in Fountain Valley, at 1:29am. One of my friends in Christchurch, NZ says they had a record wet December but things are nicely very hot now, as they expect in summer.

Skootzy, have to look to our CA and TX friends, I think, for warmer temps.

It was 9F at my house this morning with a wind chill of about -5F. Brrrrrr. I don't know how people stand it farther north. That is just brutal. Only good thing is that the wind is milder today. And it's the pitts when you have to take the trash out on days like this!
