Brrrr....

It was 11 degrees at 8:00 a.m. this morning.  It's now 23.  As I was driving to Southern Valley High School to substitute for one of the science teachers, I was constantly scanning for ice on the road.  I didn't want an incident like last year when I exited the highway sideways.

It did not look too cold out as I was driving along, except for the ice that is still on the outside mirror of my F350.  The sun was peeking through the clouds.  It looked beautiful.

Okay, it's not technically winter yet, but we have had a late start on the cold weather.  Last year we had snow at the beginning of October and the year before that at the end of October.  This is the end of November and we have had only three minutes (literally) of snow.

My daughter in Katy, that's near Houston, Texas, has actually had a fire in the fireplace already this year.  Her vegetable garden is still producing an abundance, so don't feel too sorry for her.  The poor thing did have snow last year--I saw the doctored photos myself.

Soon we will be hopping over what the snowplow plants on our curb.  The girls will be slipping on the sidewalk dedspite warnings to be careful.  I'll be looking at the frost patterns on the windows.  But it will be warmer this year than last under the house (see previous post concerning the crawling cold air).

Until later...
