FEEL SORRY FOR US, THEY SAY -28 BELOW HERE IN CHI-TOWN.....UGH!!!!!

 

And then I get to hear how the relatives in Phoenix are freezing?...it's in the 50's, cry me a river, kiss my butt!....

 

I once went to a garding seminar that dealt with our weather extremes and gardening and they said we have the same winter weather as the Siberia!!! Huh?

 

:cheer: :dribble: :cheer: :dribble: Thank God for the SUPERBOWL! It will get all of Chicago's mind off of freezing our tushies for at least a few hours.

 

Now the weathermen say it will last for the next 8 days!!! ick!

 

I will have kids climbing walls a bit. Especially so since I have one in particular that had already been at home for 5 days last week SICK BIG TIME, so he's shockingly sick of video games. We've been playing alot of poker lately...Seems like every time I have a pairs of Aces, some kid has a royal flush.

 

And I won't even address the question of my husband's sanity to have gone snomoin in upper MI this weekend....should have questioned it, 20 years ago when he wanted to move out of the southwest, cause he missed the seasons of the Mid-west? huh we could have drove to Flagstaff for the day for fall or winter weather...

 

I have countrystyle pork cuts cooking in my crock pot for game time, slathered with barbeque rub from Weber Grill for pulled pork sandwiches and slaw! Also have a Lou Malanti pizza in my freezer for the kiddo's. How Chicago is that!

 

I may have to see how hot chocolate goes with those or tea?

 

The news has been spouting all week how we can tailgate in Soldier's Field and as of this am, not hearing of anyone hitting that parking lot...it's outside---- reason enough---- and then there's that wind off Lake Michigan.

 

Considering we have those shirtless crazy fans at Soldiers Field in the winter, I wonder if some obsessives s will end up out there?

 

I had had my stroke by Thanksgiving and made it into RIC in Chicago by December and spent some of my time watching Lake Michigan freeze over while there....Not something I want to spend another second thinking of....I need to conjuer up thoughts of how hot and sweaty it was waiting outside of Shedd last July.... GIVE ME WARMTH...... ohhhhh baby get here spring ASAP!

 

SEND US SOME WARMTH...GO BEARS!!!! :cheer:

Jan,

 

Welcome to the blog world. About time you joined us!!!!

 

I'm joining your chat about spring getting here. Being in the snowplow business for so many years, I remember recording a winter like this decades ago where we had no snow before Christmas, got royally dumbed the last half of January and first half of February only to have spring break out early on Valentine's Day. I'm placing my bets that is what will happen this year. I hope!!! I'm sick of snow and cold here in Michigan.

I looked outside at 8am and could see the Sunday papers at the end of the driveway. The thermometer said -4, but I wanted those papers. I dressed as though I was going to Siberia for days. It took longer to get dressed to go out than it took to walk to the end of the driveway, pick up the papers and walk back. Geesh. It is now 12:15 and the thermometer reads +5. It is not good when one thinks it has really warmed up and it is only 5 degrees.

 

I'm staying in as much as possible. Thank god for central heating. Can't wait to see the bill.

 

The good news is we are closer to spring than fall. :Clap-Hands:

I know Chicago and the great Lakes area are prone to be windy and cold. As I noticed those temps on the news, I started shaking and shivering here in central Texas.

 

If it gets that cold here, everything closes and nothing moves.

 

Jan,

I would have never guessed you had not blogged until now. Anyway, welcome and our Bears didn't play so good today. Oh well, there is always next year. Maybe they are better in ice cold weather than rain?
