When one's sphere gets this cold, it is good to have a check-list.
- Warm hat, bulky coat, gloves, 27 layers and 3 sets of socks. Check. (this is not the time to dress hip)
- Car plugged in at night. Check.
- Start your car every few hours. Check.
- Flashlights. Need to check.
- Write a last will & testament. Check.
- Toilet paper. Check. (this should always be on the list)
- Lots of hot chocolate and soup stocked. Check.
- Leave your kitchen & bathroom faucets trickling. Check.
- Leave cupboard doors near pipes open. Check.
- Make sure light is on in the well. Check.
- Find someone warm and cling to them. Check. (Thank you Lord for Kristy, the Walking Furnace)
- Refrain from licking metal objects. Bummer.
- Find a sledding hill and round up your buddies for a snow day! Sounds crazy, but you know it would be awesome.
The cold weather kills sickness for people and the cattle, elk, moose, etc.
The cold weather kills the bad bugs in the pine trees.
The cold weather makes us thankful for the warm weather.
The cold weather keeps us home more, which is definitely not a bad thing.
I'm loving this cold snap! Cold makes the house feel that much cozier.
ReplyDeleteI think we're going to have to get a block heater for my van though...
Not liking the cold. I'm thankful it has warmed up today.
ReplyDeleteIts probably colder in Canada than it is here.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, a block heater would def. help with your awesome new van Dana. And I'm glad you got a van. You will make "The Van" cool.
