Baby, it’s cold outside!

Posted on January 15, 2009 by Matt Todd

According to The Weather Channel, it’s currently a balmy two degrees below zero. Factor in the wind chill, and it feels like twenty-one below. Ouch.

The really disheartening thing about this news is that according to the same website, it’s actually warmer in Anchorage, Alaska, today than it is right here in East Central Indiana. It’s thirty-nine degrees in Anchorage. Wind chill makes it feel like thirty-three. That’s above freezing while we’re below zero!

Yeah.

Something just ain’t right with that.

It wasn’t as cold yesterday afternoon when the kids got home. So I let Alyson go outside and play in the snow for a while. She couldn’t figure out how to make a good snowball, in spite of my best teaching efforts. She did, however, make a pretty impressive snow angel. She made several snow angels, actually.

Let it snow!! Apparently, she didnt think it was snowing enough. So she decided to toss more in the air. — "Let it snow!!" Apparently, she didn't think it was snowing enough. So she decided to toss more in the air.

One thought on “Baby, it’s cold outside!”

It has been very cold here- so cold I didn’t go for my daily constitutional. But no precipitation. So I had the following conversation at the hotel:

Silly man: How much is a room?
Me: Blah blah, what’s bringing you into town?
SM: I want to bring my kids to see the snow!!!
Me: ummmmmmmmm we don’t have any snow.
SM: What? But you are so far NORTH! And in the mountains!
Me: Actually we are at only about 800 feet elevation. And we have no snow.
SM: Really? How can that be? Where can I find SNOW?!?!?!?!!!! ……..
