Winter

Oh how I pray that it warms up across the state to at least the normal temp. We are in day 8 of a cold weather inversion of -40. I would be so thankful if it would only warm up to -20. I have friends that have frozen pipes and the end is not in sight. They are talking for at least another week and I am in absolute despair! It is not a good idea to drive anywhere in these temps, besides who wants to freeze their butts off by going outside! The air is bad now for even healthy people due to the lack of air movement. Lord, relief soon please?

My poor children are bouncing off the walls! They have been asking to go places and go to their tae kwon do class and yet it is not smart to drive into town for that. After all if the car does break down who want s to sit and freeze in a matter of minutes? Thank God for a large enough space for them to run around and burn off some energy at least. I was going to take them for fireworks for the New Year and yet who wants to bundle up like the Michelin man? Lord we are praying for a miracle!

Wow is it that cold there?? Seattle apparently is getting record amounts of snow. Idaho is cold (below 30 at night) but nothing else exciting.
You changed your blog look. What spurred that?

This is the first bad cold snap since I moved back from Barrow. I had honestly forgotten how awful it could be. The ice fog here in town is so thick, it is chewable. The air smells like a dirty ashtray. Just when you think you can't take one more day of this bone numbing cold, you get another one anyway!

Well, it warmed up a bit for a little while. :) We are faring a bit better down here, and I have to get out no matter what. Our place is not big enough for Kaia to burn energy. Congrats on the big surprise... We miss you guys. Hope all is well.
