A cold few days and I have hardly been outdoors. I shoveled the driveway today and the sun helped dry it and melt the icy patches. There were only a couple of inches of snow so it wasn't much work but my fingers were frozen by the time I was finished.
I made a big pot of stew today which should last me a while. As it is Sunday and "cleanliness is next to Godliness", as my mother would say, my one chore today was to clean the toilets! Lots of time for reading and I am well into my newest library book. Currently we have to pick up our requested books outside the library and, with yesterday's strong wind, waiting to have them checked out was a bit of an ordeal. However, I survived!

A strong wind makes it feel so much colder.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Yes, we usually have the "wind chill factor" added to our temperature readings. Today was -8C but with the wind chill it felt more like -20C!
DeleteIt was bitterly cold here yesterday. I was glad to be well wrapped up on my walk. X
ReplyDeleteSeems to be bad all over, but I have noticed the sun has more warmth already.
DeleteA cold snap here too, we stayed in our cosy cottage.
ReplyDeleteBest place to be. It has been very icy here recently so not safe to walk.
DeleteThe sunshine yesterday was lovely in spite of the wind chill. I think the next few days will be days best spent indoors, reading & looking outside. I have President Obama's book ready to pick up at the library, so that will be my only outing into the cold.
ReplyDeleteI managed a walk today and it was fine while the wind was at my back. Enjoy the Obama book, I haven't requested it yet. I thought Michelle Obama's book was brilliant!
Delete"In our neck of the woods," it is deep Winter, with cold temps. Time for enjoying the warmth and coziness of Home. -smile-

I am practicing "hygge", the Danish custom of hibernating while the weather is bad.
DeleteExactly!!!!

I was outside our local library in -32C and ice in the air. The ladies inside were moving so slowly. Second in line and there for ten minutes. I feared frost bite.
ReplyDeleteSounds familiar! It wasn't quite that cold here.
