Snow on the ground with low
temperatures did not seem too noticeable cold without wind. This afternoon the
wind picked up. It was interesting to see what it felt like on our thermometer.
I did not watch all the time but when I was close and the wind was strong it
took the “feels like” numbers down quite a lot. For instance, right now the
temperature is 23 and it feels like 17 with a fluctuating wind. I am not sure
when it makes that conversion.
I delivered more of the neighborhood
newsletter in spite of the knowledge of feels like cold. I am grateful for the
new long underwear I bought that fits under my jeans without a problem. It is
amazing how just two layers of clothing made it comfortable to take a few
thousand steps. I did have to be careful in some places as there was ice
underfoot. Luckily I could walk around most of it and only slipped once when I was
not paying attention.
There are still some copies to
deliver, but I was getting cold hands so I came home. We might finish it
tomorrow or I can do it Sunday afternoon. Leroy is going to a retreat on Sunday
so that would be only my job then. He is home tomorrow and we might get it
done.
Leroy did not ride the bike today
because he had some work to do for church that involved a bit more travel than
he likes to do on the bike. Lucky him, he has a car that runs in hot or cold
weather. Have you ever thought about how much variation in conditions/temperature
the vehicles can tolerate? All those inventors have figured out a lot of
things.
