Windchill

On Saturday we went shopping, as it snowed, hoping for better weather on Sunday. On Sunday it stopped snowing, but the wind blew, no sun, but we had to get out, especially for our dog’s sake. So we went sledding, so much fun, but for climbing the hill each time, the snow was a few feet deep. Our dog of course is up and down all the time. She loves it. Our temperature isn’t so low, but because of the wind it feels worse. It’s like: “It’s not the heat but the humidity” in reverse. On Monday as usual the sun shone and the temp went up a bit, typical, today, we have blowing snow, you must hear our weather forecasts:
