They say our wind chill values will be around 12 below tonight and all day tomorrow.  First thing, in the morning, I'm going to get the crockpot going with home made soup and I'll curl up in my big easy chair and spend the day at home.

It was 78 in Edinburg at 4:00 PM. I should have stayed there.

These temps are cold, but they'd be even colder if we had widespread snow pack. Light accum. snow possible Sunday. pic.twitter.com/z4IQWrM0Va

Back from the clinic and all is well.  My blood work showed some amazingly good numbers this morning.  Every time I go I keep asking myself, "how long can this go on"? 

 

One of these days, one would think, the tests will show there's, actually, something wrong with me.  In the meantime I have to ask why am I spending so much time with the doctors if I'm in such good shape?

My favorite tweet of the morning:

Still getting used to this Twitter thing. Didn't mean to sign up for this...I was just trying to order sea monkeys.

THIS WAS A GREAT DAY FOR 3RD STREET!

Old Man Winter isn't fooling around anymore.  The seriously cold weather is here.  This is the latest advisory from the National Weather Service.

"WIND CHILLS THURSDAY NIGHT WILL RANGE FROM 5 TO 25 BELOW. THESE COLD WIND CHILLS WILL PERSIST THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING."

They're already getting those cold wind chills out west.  AT 2:00, this morning, the wind chill was 20 below in Rapid City.

This is a really, really frightening picture.  He can't swim a stroke.  The only way he goes in the water is down.  What is he doing in this floating balloon?

Have you read the book "Old Man and the Sea"?  This is from the movie.
