It began two weeks ago with the snow. And today I woke up to freezing cold weather. Of course, it doesn’t surprise me. It’s winter in Wisconsin and when it isn’t snowing it is bitter cold. What can I say?
When I turned on the radio early this morning the announcer warned the listeners to dress warmly. With a temperature of two below zero and gusty winds making it feel like 15 to 20 below zero (the wind chill factor), frostbite can occur within 30 minutes, unless folks make sure they cover all exposed skin with warm mittens, heavy socks, a hat, and a heavy scarf around the neck and face. Brrrrrrrrr.
Like other retired seniors, I can stay indoors all day and simply avoid the cold. Actually, it is a good day to work on the website www.FunnyPhotosContest.com for cute or funny photos and photo captions. Today is the last day of this week’s contest. So I have lots of work to do. I need to display the winning photos, post the new photos for the next contest, and send the winners their prize money. But as I sip my hot tea and keep toasty warm, I can’t help thinking of my grandsons walking to school and I almost feel cold for them.
