I feel for you, we are going through some really weird weather, Sunday and Monday we had ice that stayed through some rain Tues night, yesterday morning it was 32 and very foggy, it ended up getting up to 50 by afternoon and then this morning the winds are crazy strong and the temps are going to plummet. We are to be in single digits this weekend - ugh, Michigan weather, don't like it? Well wait 5 minutes and it will change!

Yesterday morning it was -11 and our power had gone out at 530 AM. I had to chop ice on 6 stock tanks before heading to work. Power came back on about 2PM. Thankfully we have a wood stove so had one warm room.

DH is enjoying 60 degrees in Texas this week.
-7 last night and is up to -2 now.

Right now (at 6:44am) it is -9, and our high today will be about 8.
Sunday it was SUPPOSED to warm up to 32 degrees, but now they
are saying that it will only be a high of 14.

The new heatwave is supposed to be here on Tuesday it will be 35
they claim.

Normally I don't work on Thursdays but this week (of all weeks) I
have to work because the guys are in the warehouse doing inventory.
I get to stay my office and answer phones, assist customers, and enter
commissions.

Hubby just checked the temp -- it is 13 below right now. So glad I'm retired and don't have to go out in the cold! He is not so fortunate -- we have cows to check on, feed and water. Luckily they go to the barn for the night when it gets this cold. I did heat up the house making 4 batches of chex mix treats this morning!
