Cold, Blustry Day!

The weatherman told  us we were in for some extremely cold
and windy weather and he was right!  As I look out the
window the sky is a brilliant blue with nary a cloud.  The
inversion has been chased out and everything is so clear.
And you would think it was a very mild day!  Wrong!
Wrong!  Wrong!

The temperature right now is 12 F and with the wind chill
factor it is -4F.  The wind which races down the canyons
to the east is blustering at about 30--35 mph with gusts up
to 60 mph.  I've been out a couple of times today and it
is bitterly cold!  My hands feel frozen in a matter of seconds.
The wind and cold temperatures are supposed to continue
through tomorrow.  In fact, when I get up to go to work in
the morning the temperature should be hovering between 0F
and 5F.  Gratefully we have not had a power outage
which often happens when we get these east canyon
winds. (Knock on Wood)

I understand the rest of the country is or is going to
experience similar temperatures and stormy weather.
So, hang on to your hat, heat up some hot chocolate
and stay in where it is warm!

Because it is so cold and the wind whistles around the
house, I've been hanging out downstairs in my sewing
room enjoying my cd's and getting some sewing done.

Finished my little birdies block....and just in the nick of
time as I noticed block 2 has been posted.

Worked on two more of the seasonal hot pads.  Just have
to hand sew the binding and then they'll be done.

Oh my, its suddenly become very quiet outside.  The
wind must be taking a little break. So while things are
somewhat calm, think I'll slip outside and gather up a
few things that have been blown around and make sure
everything is ok.  

Stay warm....or cool....wherever you are.
