Winter Olympics 2014

I made it my February goal to catch up on my blog, photo editing, video editing, and 2013 blog book. I have made good progress on my goal.  Every year February haunts me and taunts me with it's never ending bitterness and cold.  This year I decided to make peace with February and use the time of indoor confinement to catch up on all my computer related items.

As I was putting together my 2013 blog book I read over some of my February posts from last year. I have to say, I was a fool in 2013. I didn't know what cold was.  I even put a picture of my car reading 11 degrees. This year 11 degrees feels warm. One day they closed school because it was -20.  This week we had three snow storms that dumped almost 2 feet of snow on us, that isn't melting.  Although next week it should warm up to the 40s and 50s which will melt all the snow and most likely flood our town.  Moral of the story? Don't complain about the weather so much.  Also, previous weather facts are boring.

Lilly and Jack enjoy playing in the snow. I got smart this year and bought L-Bow gloves for them (gloves that go up the entire length of their arms), wool socks, and more head gear. I also bought snow pants for myself and -30 mittens. It's taken me 10+ years of combined Pennsylvania living to realize that it's cold here and I need to prepare appropriately.
