WARNING, WINTER !!!

I don't know how we survived the winters growing up, we just woke up, looked out the window and knew what the weather was, we did not have a Television growing up until I was 12 years old, we listened to the Radio and they were few Weather Alerts like they are today !!  Gramp Wood could tell when it was going to rain he said by the "Pain in his Knee" !    Usually he was right !!
.
.
This is our local weather girl, Beth Hall, she comes on in the morning about 5;30AM or Zero-Dark-Thirty and tells us what the day is going to be.
.
.
Then we get the 7 day forecast, this was on this morning and you can see it is going to get cold  just like it has for the past 70+ years I have been around !!!
.
.
This was me, dressed in Long Under ware, gloves, and a face mask as it is hard to breathe in these very cold temps.
.
Hopefully we only have about 70 days till spring.
.
Don't Forget our Cold Homeless Vets !!

Hey dude, that weather lady could have written COLD all the way across the 7 days for us. LOL
And yeah, it is amazing what we DID NOT know growing up! Just as amazing is how some of the older folk were good at forecasting....
Stay warm and hold Anna Mae tight!
