That's what we had yesterday! Right now it's 20° which is balmy by comparison. I wish it would stay; tomorrow we could get the dreaded "wintry mix" precipitation. Hubby will be taking me to the chiropractor and the store in the Jeep tomorrow.

DH went out last week to pick up an on line grocery order. He was about a quarter of a mile from home and radioed me to tell me he was stuck. Well, he wasn't stuck. He was brought to a standstill coming up a hill thanks to the ice skating rink that is our road. And he was raised in Wisconsin so he's no stranger to winter driving. Quite good at it in fact. They cleared the snow off of it but not much to be done about the ice except wait for it to thaw. Poor old van can usually take on the worst of weather but not this time. Two buckets of stove ash later, me sprinkling and him driving and we were able to get the van to the top of the hill and from there it is downhill to home. Needless to say, no more outings for awhile. This is more like January weather in December and it isn't even winter yet.

I feel your pain! Our weather here in N.E. Indiana has been more like January weather too! I`m afraid we are in for a long winter! 🙁
