Here we are again, another “polar vortex”. Weather guys are having a field day coming up with catchy names to give the unusually cold weather. The girls and I are out of school today, and most likely will be tomorrow. This is what the hourly forecast says for 7AM tomorrow morning.
That “feels like” column would be the wind chill. Schools across the county are closed, because kids can’t be waiting for a bus or trying to walk to school in the dangerous levels of cold. The diesel fuel in the buses also has a bad habit of turning to gel in these low temps, making the buses shut down or not start. Right now, the wind chills are -25 degrees. We will be out of school tomorrow for sure, making it 4 days used for emergency days. The schools are all looking at canceling holidays and teacher inservice days as a way to make up these missed days and no extend the school year. We’ll see what happens- winter isn’t over yet, and we also have way more snow this year than last year!
This worked out pretty good for Kayla. She had her weekend church retreat and came home yesterday. She was exhausted! Too much fun, to much staying up late and getting up early. She had a great time! Even the 3+ hour car ride each way wasn’t bad. She rode with the boys and talked Minecraft and Pokemon the whole way. Boys are not as annoying to her as they used to be. Girls her age are all into fashion and boys, things that still do not interest Kayla. Having no school today means catching up on needed sleep. It is 9:30AM, and she is still not downstairs. I think she is sort of awake, but not ready to greet the world.
Ashley slept until 8:30 or so and just finished breakfast. We will spend the day practicing instruments, watching a movie, playing games, and just staying warm!
