-23 degrees

1.6.2010
How does one dress for that?  Long johns, wool socks, slip, skirt for the bottom half.  White short sleeve shirt, white long sleeve shirt, red sweater, dressy scarf, black wool sweater for the top half.  For outside black short coat, wool scarf, hat, gloves.  Nice to have seat warmers in the car.  Not too many people out today.  Yesterday was -18 maybe up to -13.  Just checked since this morning, hmm,  up to -19.
The  only places colder than Norway are Finland and Russia.  When you don't have to be out in the cold constantly, it isn't too bad!!

We are surviving.  We have gone to drinking more hot chocolate and even decaffinated tea in the evenings.

Love to all from the land of a lot of snow and much cold!!!

Paige has once again graced the front page of the TCH….Picture #3 was the photo, they could have chosen #10 where she actually looks like a BBall player (with one leg).

Sorry for the cold weather….just let us know when Hell freezes over.

I believe it already has, but I am afraid to drive out there to see.  Here is how mom dresses for this cold weather. The last two mornings when it has been -22 and -23, I have found that the anti-lock brake system on our car (VW Polo) freezes up and does not work until after I have driven for a while and things in the engine compartment warm up. This is a really good feature on the VW, where the anti lock brakes don't work in the kind of weather where they might be needed. They work fine in the summer.

Have a good day, 
Love, 
dad
