"Baby its cold outside"

So as you can see from the map - Its very cold in the middle of the US. Coming from So. Cal, it usually is still warm outside - we're talking 70 to 80 degree weather! I guess it does take a while to get used to the fact that we actually have seasons here....I LOVE IT though!! I used to always be bothered with singing Christmas songs about snow and warm fires when I could wear shorts outside on Christmas day...not the case here.....

Today is Thursday, 4th of December and it is almost 10 am. The weather outside here is crisp and cold. Its 45 degrees outside now and supposedly going to hit a high of 55 at some point. It will probably only get to 53 or something like that. Factor in the wind chill and the news says that it will feel like in the 40s all day. So nice to bundle up and smell Christmas in the air. I love Christmas anyways, but now it makes having hot apple cider and snuggling up so much more worth it.

I am hoping that this next cold front that is coming in from Alaska and Canada will bring with it some snow. It snowed here the Christmas before we moved here...Conditioins are favorable, we just need some rain to accompany the front when it arrives in 2 weeks....
