It's minus 9 (C). Which is as cold as I have ever heard of it being in this country. I'm glad I bought a new hat and scarf yesterday.
We had about the same temperature for a high yesterday. This early in the winter (wait, technically, it isn't even winter yet) we aren't ready for that kind of cold. So it feels worse. Driving home from work yesterday, I saw a woman walking by the side of the road, not near any homes or anything worth walking to in that cold. I decided it was too cold to leave her there. So I stopped. Turns out, the poor thing was trying to get to the pharmacy before it closed. That was far enough away, she might not have made it. So I happily drove her there, and then home again. She rewarded me with a nice hot cup of coffee, and we had a nice chat about cats and dogs, and moving (she was in the middle of a move, and her car crapped out).
Kicking off my holiday nostalgia by watching "Holiday Inn". I can't believe people know "White Christmas" and don't know "Holiday Inn". It's one of the few times I can think of where the sequel is more popular than the original.
Wait, I'm confused, I thought the movie "Holiday Inn" was the same movie as "White Christmas", it's just that the song is so popular that people got mixed up. Huh. Turns out, I was mixed up. Well, in that case, I'm glad to have been straightened out.
I need a hat. I had a hat, but I'm not sure where it went, and I've not been buying a new one because I know that, once I buy a new one, I'll find my old one, but really, I need to get over that and just buy a hat.
It's winter in Pennsylvania. You need more than one hat anyway. And more than one scarf, too. See also, mittens or gloves.
I have plenty of gloves. The skin on my hands starts cracking and bleeding sometime around Halloween if I don't wear gloves.
Sorry, I was feeling kind of mother-y there.
I have a warmish jacket that got me through several winters in DC, but it's already getting too cold for that jacket here. My mom is sending me a new jacket from LL Bean as a Chanukah present.
Mark the date: 6/12. Winter arrived to Israel, at last. We got rain, and I might consider actually wearing my winter coat (instead of my jacket) if it'll get any colder (11 C - the low temperature).
Oh, and they managed to kill the horrid fire. About 5 million trees were burn. 42 dead. This is the worst natural disaster we've ever had.
It's pretty chilly this morning here- I really need to find my hat or buy a new one.
lisah, you and your DH look beautiful and so very happy! Congratulations to you both! Sarameg looks wonderful as well.
I love our new handyman. He is not only replacing our dryer vent today (on time!), but he brought his own vacuum to clean up the mess that the broken vent made. I would have cleaned it myself but it required being able to move a stacked washer dryer so nsm.
Congrats, lisah and husband!
Sympathies to Matt and family.
