šŸ˜„ So many comments on the cold. The wind has died down, it's a balmy -34!
We had 9 F / -13 C yesterday morning. I grew up with weather like that, but decades in NC thinned my blood. I had to put a jacket on.

Seriously, I walked out in the garage in shorts and t-shirt, IMMEDIATELY realized that was a bad idea, and put on warmer clothes. That was in the garage. Outside was colder. Wind chill was below 0 F. On the plus side, it wasn't snowing.

Tire pressure was way low in our vehicles. Had to put air in all, although I didn't inflate to full max, as the temperature will go up.

Yup, it's always an adjustment when you are not used to it.

We are up to -14 today and it's a nice change after the deep freeze we just came out of. Suddenly it is so easy to heat the house.
 
Dear Floridians, ā˜€ļø

You are going to be ok!
Here are some quick tips for those who arenā€™t sure how they are supposed to navigate this weekendā€™s unholy cold weather. šŸ„¶

šŸ Wear real shoes. Your flip flops will have to fend for themselves for a few days. They will be okay.

šŸ Socks! Wear them. Preferably with real shoes.

šŸ Put the doors back on your Jeeps.

šŸ Consider pants. The extra fabric may feel a tad foreign at first, but you gotta power through.

šŸ Stock your fridge now. Publix will be closed. Assume a record number of employees will call in dead. Theyā€™ve never been this cold before.

šŸ You've likely never noticed it but there is a setting on your AC unit at home that makes it blow out warm air. Use it. Look for a little fire symbol or the word H E A T

šŸ There is also a similar function for the ac in your carā€¦ and turn off the seat AC feature.

šŸ Umbrella. Use an umbrella if you do venture outside. Not for rain, it will help you avoid head injuries caused by frozen iguanas falling from trees. Those suckers are heavy.

šŸ Wash your hair now. Youā€™re not going to this weekend. Perhaps pick up some dry shampoo on your way to pick up the last Publix sub of the week.

šŸ Take deep breaths, you got this. No deep breaths on Saturday though. Youā€™re lungs arenā€™t used to air that cold. They will collapseā€¦ best hold your breath until Monday

Florida, may the odds be ever in your favor... šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£
This is not much of an exaggeration. I lived in FL for a few years many years ago and I had a friend whose family moved there from NC when he was a very young child (so he was practically a native). He was well off, but he didn't own a jacket. When it got cold, he just went around shivering, refusing to admit that it did get cold sometimes in Florida.

The body sure is strange -
Two days ago -5 F with -27 wind chill and I was cold. Today 14 F and it feels warm!!! If it wasn't for the snow and frozen ground I'd work in the garden!:D
 
DID I SAY THAT? Police in Los Angeles had good luck with a robbery suspect who just couldn't control himself during a lineup. When detectives asked each man in the lineup to repeat the words: 'Give me all your money or I'll shoot', the man shouted, 'That's not what I said!'
 
NOT THE SHARPEST TOOL IN THE SHED! In Modesto, CA, Steven Richard King was arrested for trying to hold up a Bank of America branch without a weapon. King used a thumb and a finger to simulate a gun. Unfortunately, he failed to keep his hand in his pocket. (hellooooooo...!!!)
 
AT&T fired President John Walter after nine months, saying he lacked intellectual leadership. He received a $26 million severance package. Perhaps it's not Walter who's lacking the intelligence.

I wish all Americans would be taught and required to understand this sentence from the early grades in school onward:

"It does not take intelligence to make money."

Repeat until understood... There will be a test later! šŸ˜„
