In Indiana today we were -12 degrees with a -40 wind chill.
In Chicago that would have seemed balmy with -27 degrees actual temperature and -50 wind chill.
and in Minnesota -37 real temperature with -60 to -70 degree wind chill.
Dangerously cold. Frostbite in <5 minutes exposure.
Deadly cold.
An outreach by the police and local governments to assist the homeless with shelter and warmth. For those refusing to go...warm blankets, hats, scarves, gloves.
Early this morning 3 deaths already attributed to the bitter cold.
Certainly there will be more before Thursday night when (hopefully) this will break.
Emma (Tina's Niece) is ready to go...for their wedding...having found a gorgeous flower girl dress.
Training.

Just saying.
Settled in for the next few days.
Hibernating.
Good food, Snug warm home, Fresh canvas and working on a Winter Painting.
I put Soup Beans simmering with onion, butter and bacon and my DEN smells amazing!
