You know you live somewhere cold when . . .

You know you live somewhere cold when . . .

*The radio says the low in your area was 30 below

*The cars whine and take a minute to start in the morning

*You have to get up early just so you have enough time to let the car warm up for at least 10 minutes

*And then even after you've let the car warm up for 10 minutes the frost is still so thick that it doesn't want to come off

*After taking your child to the bus stop and bending down to look through a 4inch X 4inch hole the whole way, you realize that the frost wouldn't come off the windshield because it was really on the INSIDE of the car.

*There's even been frost on the inside of our house windows.

To some this may seem like the normal for this time of year, but for me I'm still adjusting from Vegas climate to winter and it seems CRAZY COLD!!!!

I forgot about some of that stuff! It's been forever since I've had to heat up a car or scrape a windshield!

We've been doing great. I should give you a call sometime soon so we can catch up on everything! Do you still have the same cell #?

Anytime you want to warm up you come on down to Vegas. We miss you so much! I love wearing flip flops in January!
