March is leaving like a lion

By | March 29, 2009

It’s an icebox

By | January 13, 2009

It’s -20 F (-29 C) right now.  If only there is no wind at all, I will not feel the bite.  With -36 F (-38 C) windchill, it definitely took my breath away while walking from the parking lot to the office building.  Not too bad of a brisk walk but this morning was just [...]
