Cold.
When I walked outside this morning, it was around -17°F. That’s temperature, not wind chill. As I write this, weather.com is reporting a current temperature of -12°F, with a high approaching 1°F and dangerous wind chills approaching -40°F
.
Becky, our resident school-teacher, showed up at breakfast this morning in casual clothes—all the local schools are closed today because it’s too cold to go to school. Keep in mind that yesterday we got several inches of snow and at times had near white-out conditions, but the schools didn’t close for that.
Too cold for school. How do you like that? Back home in the Pacific Northwest, they would sometimes cancel school because there was a good chance of snow. If there really was enough snow (that is, at least half-an-inch), the whole city would shut down. I wonder what they would do with a -40 wind chill?
Too cold for school. I really don’t have any way to process that. Strange.
