Hey all you northerners out there - are you located in one of the colder states? I was just reading that it was going to get as cold as -42 in some parts!! That is truly crazy.


So how are you all coping with the cold?

Brrrrr~~~ that is just crazy!!! I don't envy any of you.


From when I lived in Ireland these are some of the things I did to keep warm-



  • Water Bottes (don't know if you call them that in 'American'. Rubber flat bottles you fill with boiling water). I sat

I am in Chicago, and we're in our third day of brutal cold (below zero degrees F at night and 30 below windchills - I think today's high was 4).

Yikes! I hate having to go and start my car when it's cold!! Do you have an automatic car starter or do you have to venture outside?

We had our brutal cold last week. It was incredibly cold with wind chill. One night I slept with 2 pair of socks on, sweats, t-shirt and a sweat shirt. However, we have had a couple of nice days so far this week. So all of you to the East it will get warmer soon.

Gretchen, I'm with you on the socks. I have a bed full of socks, because if my feet are cold when I go to bed, that's it, I can't sleep for the life of me. Glad to hear it is warming up there!!

Thanks IG! One of my cats loves being in my lap every chance he gets. My other cat, not so much.

Believe it or not, I don't have an automatic car starter but you'd think I would after all these years in Chicago winters! So I do venture outside. Luckily the car warms up pretty quickly!

LOL- one of mine is a not so much cat-on-the-lap kind either. Funny!
