This morning I took the kids to school. The temperature was 1, yep thats right, 1 degree. Factor in the wind chill and it was -15. It ticks me off that the school administrators don't cancel school when it is that cold. We do not have buses in our school district, and these kids have a long way to walk. According to the local hospital, after 5 minutes outside in temperatures below 5 degrees, frostbite will start on areas of the body not covered.

I have left a message for the school administrators, asking how many of them walked to their jobs. How many of them had to stand outside of the school before they were let in. I feel for those kids whose parents already had left for work and they had to walk outside in this cold weather. I looked for any of my kids friends who were walking, and gave them a ride to the school.

1 degree is definitely dangerous. I feel for the thousands still without power in the state. We had 60-70 mph winds Sunday night Monday morning. 8:20 and it's still 1 here.

We had a cold snap, high 60's - low 70's. VERY windy, makes it feel a lot cooler out than the actual temp. Similar weather tomorrow, not looking forward to it. I will be the a roof of a large commercial building part of the day doing a walk with two of my subs. Going to have to find something to occupy my time tomorrow. I have to sit on that job from 8am - 3:30pm.

On the upside, back to almost 80* by Friday.
