Man, Is it cold!

This in from the National Weather Service:

BITTER COLD ARCTIC AIR WILL CONTINUE TO POUR INTO THE REGION TONIGHT… ACCOMPANIED BY NORTHWEST WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH. ACTUAL LOW TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM ZERO TO 5 ABOVE IN THE MID HUDSON VALLEY AND LITCHFIELD COUNTY… TO BETWEEN 15 BELOW AND 25 BELOW ZERO IN THE WESTERN ADIRONDACKS.

THE BITTER COLD TEMPERATURES AND GUSTY WINDS WILL RESULT IN WIND CHILL TEMPERATURES OF 20 BELOW TO 40 BELOW ZERO OVER THE EASTERN CATSKILLS… THE HUDSON VALLEY FROM THE CAPITAL DISTRICT SOUTH… BERKSHIRE COUNTY AND LITCHFIELD COUNTY.

As a very wise man said, just a few years ago (Dad!) “Man, is it cold!” As I recall it was something like minus 23F then.

The coldest temp I’ve ever experienced was -35F and that was no windchill. That was the actual temperature! I had a job interview and we started the car a couple times during the night. I remember getting there a little extra early so I would have time to take off all the extra layers of clothes!

yup, winter is here in all its January glory. I’m on the program committee this year for my local guild so I had a meeting at another committee member’s house Saturday. Her cat came past us and stood at the patio door wanting OUT. I timed him – 15 seconds. He was back and wanting IN. Silly cats.

I’ve spent the past few days tinkering around in Illustrator, doing some stuff in Word and trying to get some hands-on time with fabric. Geesh. This work stuff really gets in the way.
