Look at those temps. 7 degrees, how can people live in this kind of weather? Who wants to get up when it’s only 7 degrees? Not only that but look at all those little white circles on Thursday, Friday and Monday. What must that signify? Sure enough, we’re back in Iowa waiting for a large storm which is now developing in the Tucson area where they are having a cold, rainy, blustery day and which will slowly wend its way up to Iowa where it will linger a while, long enough to dump about 7” of snow in the Des Moines area. But we’re on the lucky side of the storm since it will dump about 12” in the southwestern corner of the state and even more in Kansas. Some spots are expecing 2’..
Yep, welcome to winter in Iowa. We’ve been here about a month and have yet to see a temp with a 4 as the first digit. And, actually, the weather people have been telling us that the temps are about 15 degrees lower than normal. Luckily we did not get rid of all of our winter clothes - they were hanging lonely and dusty in our closets when we got here. They are now dusted off and in heavy use.
Cathy had given us our Christmas present from Lug which was his traditional box of Russell Stover candy. We always look forward for that but this time it was different, it was the last box we’d ever get. We are going to string this box out as long as we can: one piece each per day, since it is the last.
