We avoid it like the plague.
Today, however, we needed a few things, so off we went at 09:30, before the Reavers and zombies hit the stores. Gas in the truck, renewed membership at Sam's, a few more decorative trinkets for the living room, and some odds & ends at Wally World.
-6 at the house, -7 along the river, -1 at the stores. If it gets much colder, I'll have to zip up my coat.

I remember the days of -10 or 15 and finally zipping up my coat and putting on gloves when I lived up in Fairbanks. Been quite a number of years since I enjoyed that level of cold!

Hi, J.D. It's amazing how quickly we acclimate to the cold weather; I always look forward to it. Thanks!
It is not cold until you need to cover your ears.
You know, WSF, I believe you're right.
You go right ahead and enjoy that...LOL I'm staying down here where it's warm!
Somehow, NFO, I'm not surprised. :)
And it's 72 in Fort Collins!
You get the military membership at Sam's, right? The gift card isn't much, but every little bit helps. :)
Stay warm and get your stocking cap (or parka hood) ready. ;-)
You all have a blessed week! Hard to believe the year is almost over. :-O
keep warm and toasty! Hope you had an amazing Thanksgiving!:-)
Jim, that's just flat too warm. I hope you're enjoying it; I wouldn't. :)
Linda, no - wasn't aware they had one. Will have to ask. And yes, this year has flown.
WHT, thank you. T Day was a good one.
Yeah, it's just way too warm here. Some plants that were dormant have started budding again, which means when we get hit with a freeze, all the buds will drop.
Last time we were here for Thanksgiving it was minus 12 when we headed for the hotel from the in-laws place!
There's nothing like consistency, Jim, and that's nothing like it. Sorry.

Here in northern Utah I always am looking forward to the cold and snow by the time the summer heat peaks. I guess I just like it better than the heat. Maybe that is because I was born and raised in Maine.

We rarely have any summer heat, but I'm as excited as a school kid when the first flurries appear. Guess you never outgrow some things. :)
