The weather today is nothing great but at least it isn’t raining or snowing.  Even the wind isn’t too strong, so I guess we can’t really complain.  We went out shopping and came back home with the plan to go later.  I forgot that this is Christmas season and the stores are a madhouse.  I don’t do well in crowds in my old age. That’s why I do most of my shopping on line anymore.  The next two days won’t be as nice with more snow, strong winds and very cold temps expected.  The high on Thursday will be doing good to reach 20°F (-7°C).  This is too early for this type of weather.
