Sign of the times. Superintendents are concerned about liability because some student got some frostbite waiting for a school bus last week. I guess with our mobile society, people don't know how to prepare for cold weather any more. Everyone in New England is "from away".
Not me! Cheryl
Whoo I'm glad I live in Houston where its a pleasant 68 F ith a high of 70 F today. Of course we have a flood warning until 6 am Saturday but hey it's warm :) My mostly wild rose is starting to bloom again.

Holy WOW!
Those of you who don't have hairy four legged beasties to walk really ought to be thanking your lucky stars. So far, the coldest temps I've had to be out and about in has been 8 degrees (-10 with windchill), and the furry beast didn't care one bit.

My smaller four-legged beastie goes outside for a pee and poo twice a day and then is whining at the door one minute later. I live in the same place that Helen does, but I think my dog would rather go live with Shell in Houston.
Stay warm everyone! I just went to Target and they have started to set up their seasonal section with gardening tools, patio furniture, etc... Spring is in sight. Or so Target thinks. But then I'm here in the banana belt (NC). Are the stores up north teasing you all with garden goodies?

No, they're putting it away and setting up the 2004 Christmas decorations!

Humphf. I remember when I was a little girl, we used to put bread loaf bags over our socks, and then slide our feet into big moon boots, in order to walk to school in a blizzard ( up hill both ways of course).
