We woke at 7am to -27C which is about -7F and heavy snow. At the moment 2:25 pm it is -20C/-4F, the snow has stopped but is due to start up again tonight and the temps are rising to -14C/+6F. We have had over 12 inches of snow in the last 48 hours. Don't know what our totals will end up. We are supposed to get snow every day till about Tuesday. Should be interesting. Haven't had a winter like this in a long time.

We are now in a deep freeze, today it is -24 C (11 F) but with wind chill factor it is -35 (-31 F). You do not want to be outside too long. Best to stay in a occupy the sewing room.

I don't think I can really fathom this type of cold! Its in the low forties here today and that is as cold as I care for it to be. 13 inches of snow! You would probably die laughing at how crazy it gets here over a snow flurry that doesn't "stick"!

We got above freezing today with sunshine and it felt positively balmy! I think it was up to 38 degrees! No wind and still a couple inches of snow on the ground, but it is melting slowly. We are supposed to be above freezing again tomorrw, so a little more melting will help. Slush will most likely freeze tonight, so I must remember to be careful in the morning.

Here in Bakersfield we have had low to mid 50's for a whole week or more, with nights down to low 40's. Our houses (at least the older ones) were not built for cold weather...we have little or no insulation. So, we have to run the furnace at 68 deg during the day and 64 deg at night. Otherwise the whole house gets too darn cold, including walls, furniture, everything. I wear sweaters indoors and out. I am hoping we get back to "normal", which is about 58-60 deg right now.

I sure could use some sunshine. We had a little today, but now it's cloudy and overcast again.

At this point it's 50 degrees in Central Florida. Last night we had freeze warnings. We came here from NH, almost 12 yrs ago, so we can really relate with you folks!! Hugs!
