We are almost out of this polar vortex
That's a strange phrase, isn't it. Polar vortex. If I understand, this vortex is over both poles, but sometimes it gets split up and runs amok. (For you, Bethie!)
It is currently -25. I can't remember a temperature that low in my life, and I am pretty old.
Forecast calls for some snow tomorrow, then gradually warming until it hits almost 50 next week. So we could have a 75 degree swing over the next week. You have to love it.
There is not much to talk about when you don't leave the house. I stuck my head out a couple of times to check the furnace pipes and to check on Corki. But aside from that, I stayed in the house and counted my blessings.
We have heat. We have power. We have shelter. We have food. We have a comfortable life.
I think of the thousands of people living on the streets in cities like Chicago, Rockford, DeKalb and even, I imagine, Rochelle.
My heart goes out to them.
What is hard for me to grasp is some of them are there by choice. Like I said, I can't understand that.
Hopefully things start getting back to normal. Schools and businesses open, roads cleared.
Just think....pitchers and catchers report in about 2 weeks.....spring can't be far behind.
Peace and Love
