Today, Chicago's extreme cold must have been some kind of a record with -15 F (-26 C) going down to -30 F (-34 C) with wind chill. Most of the country is experiencing freezing temperatures. Even in north parts of Florida, the temperature is down to 40 F.
This kind of weather really makes me think of moving to California (77 F right now) or Hawaii.
After shoveling some snow, I realized that life is just too short to spend your days digging out cars and cleaning up your driveway. The arctic blast prevents us from enjoying the snow also. Frostbite is no joke so I won't let me son play outside either. Yes, we try to entertain the family with the usual activities inside the house but it feels like a forced fun.
How do you deal with this cold weather? Do you go out to the shopping mall, spend time on a computer, play cards, play guitar? I'm willing to try new things.
