It's 6:00 a.m. CST, Thursday 19 February 2015. The temperature is -30 C; the windchill is -40 C. As if we didn't know, Environment Canada has issued another extreme cold warning.
My garage/man-cave is steady at about 17 C. That's with the garage heater going full blast. Thank goodness, I have thermal driwear and a fleece from Cabela's and a coffee hot plate to keep off the chill. The dogs had to be fed and given their morning treats before I could enter my retreat.
Unfortunately, they won't get their morning walk today. It's simply too frigging cold for them (and the walker). They'll have to be satisfied with a quick dash out in the backyard this morning again.
I feel sorry for anyone having to work outdoors today. Even the guys emptying our garbage and recycle bins. At least it's from the cabs of their special trucks. The garbage bins on our bay our now being emptied, complete with lots of beeping as they maneuver their truck around the sharp end of our bay. Life goes on, even in the extreme cold.
There's something inviting about a Southern climate.
ReplyDeleteI even find walking almost unbearable. I accepted a ride home today from Adolph. the wind chill was just too much.
