I think polar bears would love our weather but not us so much.  It is extremely cold and I’m glad I don’t have to go out in it.  The sun is peeking through a little and we have had a few snow showers earlier today.  The wind is making it unbearable to be out for more than a few minutes.  I’m just happy that it will be warming up about Thursday.
