BRRRR!!!...It's cold!!

We have been having VERY cold weather. The weather has not been this cold for more than 20 years. Monday, Jan. 6th, we had no classes because the cold was dangerous. Busses and cars would not start and there was a danger of frostbite/hypothermia if skin was not covered –very dangerous for ears and noses. For fun, we boil water, put the hot water in a cup and go outside. When you throw the water into the air, it freezes immediately and falls to the ground as ice. Then we come back inside to drink hot chocolate or tea. Saturday it will be warm – we are hoping 7 or 8 degrees Celsius. It will be nice to leave the house without gloves, hats, scarves, and big boots.
