Cold Days Indeed

People who rely on weather conditions as a topic of conversation usually bother me, and strike me as having little character and uninteresting lives. Today I become one of those people.

It's -20 degrees today here in the Twin Cities, Minnesota. If you take the wind into consideration, it's -75 degrees. Yikes.

The people who rely on weather conditions as a topic of coversation usually have to complain about those conditions. It's too hot, too cold, too humid, too dry. I will not be one of those people.

I'm glad we're having a cold and snowy winter this year. Winter in Minnesota is supposed to be cold and snowy. It's perfect weather to snug in, light a fire in the fireplace, and bake some cookies. Sip some hot cocoa while you read a book in your favorite chair. If you really want to get warm, throw a shot of amaretto into that cocoa! Mmmm.

If you have to go outside, bundle up. This is the kind of weather that's been known to put roses in your cheeks.
