C-c-c-c-cold Monday

We have lots of snow, as you can see.

 and sure, it's sunny. That's nice.  But.


It's cold out. Really cold. Dangerously cold.

There are 32 days until Spring. I can't wait.

Truthful Thursday

Yesterday Mom closed the door to her sewing studio because it was so cold*** in there.  I was mildly annoyed because that's where I like to sit and watch the world outside.  No worries. I just went into the office and sat on the kitty condo in there.

When Mom got home last night, she saw this.

Do you remember when Mom put the stuffed toy up there, wondering how long it would take for him to fall down?

Wonder no longer.



*** It is minus 7F outside this morning. That's -21.6C, and that's not including the wind chill. When it's that cold and very windy, it feels colder. Right now that -7F "feels like" -19F, which is -28.3C, which is a lot colder than the freezer in the coldbox. And it's colder in places like Whiskeronsin, where Ducky lives.

Not Wordless Wednesday

Mom was sitting on the couch reading when she felt it shake. She thought it was the heater and was surprised.  But when she got up she saw me napping there. She took a picture but it is a bit fuzzy because she didn't want the flashy thing to shine in my eyes.

It is so cold out today that Mom closed the doors to the sewing studio. Because of all the windows it is colder out there than in the rest of the house.

Freaking Cold Friday

Mom fell again last night when she took out the trash. She says she did not fall on the ice, but tripped, fell on her knees, and hands, and her chin hit the wooden steps. She's got a bit of "road rash" there and she's hoping it doesn't turn black and blue.

I really don't know what's wrong with that. I have a black chin and as we all know it's very stylish.

Brrr...

Don't let this lovely snowy scene fool you.

Check out the thermometer that's outside our house.

While this is certainly COLD, combined with the wind, the "wind chill factor" makes it more like -14F (-25C).  Lookit what the weather guys say the temperatures are around different places in New Hampster:

and here is the "wind chill"

In weather like this it's best to be an inside cat.
