polar vortex, Artic chill
What do you think? Does this suggest to you that it is cold outside 🐱

The sun shone so brightly today, for the first time EVER in my life, I out on a second pair of sunglasses over the ones I was wearing so that I could drive safely. Even then, the glare was so hard on my eyes, it actually began to feel painful. My eye balls wanted to retreat deep into the recess of my skull.
The sky was the purest of blues, if not for the constant reminder that we were under a frost bite warning, and a caution that it was going to get colder as the day wore on, AND with the wind chill factor, it was like minus 30 degrees Celsius .. Note I am a Canadian that relates to the weather, as seen above in Fahrenheit.

I have been told, snow is coming, it was clear and bright today, but it seems certain that over the next 24 hours, we will have snow. The snow will come and the temperatures will raise, so that we will be in for freezing rain/sleet.
Knowing this, I have prepared myself for a day of creativity indoors. I am lucky that if I decide not to go out, I don’t have to. The joys of being retired.

Yes, snow does have to be shovelled, or getting out of the laneway, could be a challenge, but for those who love to be outdoors, skiing, whether downhill or Cross-Country, snow is welcome. When was the last time you sailed down a snowy slope on a toboggan

LOL true, once at the bottom, you have to make your way to the top again. Great way to stay in shape, and it is something the whole family can do.
Yes it is cold, Yes it is going to snow, Yes it could get slippery, but you know what, you have managed all these years, you know how to deal with the Canadian winter, or the Colorado lows… where ever you are, use common sense, dress accordingly, drive safely, enjoy the world around you.

Catch a falling snowflake on the tip of your tongue, see how long you can hold it there =^_^=

** remember the weather forecasters, are not the ones who “control” what you do, YOU are the master of your own “world”
Gather information if you want, but YOU decide how and what you will do .. and when.

There is a wonderland around us. We walk through it every day. There are magical people that pass us by on the street every day. People with dreams and imaginations just like ours, who from looking at them we would never know that they were actors in their own theatres and plays. Yet at night they could be transforming the world of others with their creativity and talents. You need only walk though a museum, see a window display, every where and especially at this time of year, you will see the creative expressions decorating homes and whole streets…. We love to delight.
Oh NO! the snowman exclaimed
all around as the day wore on
there was a shop down the lane
with a sigh of relief,
