Frozen

Another Weather Event last night, this time in relation to temperature: It got below zero. Specifically, one degree below zero. WHEEE!!!

This would probably not make you as excited as it made A. I don't think it would make anyone as excited as it made A. He was really excited. This is the first time since he got the weather station that it has recorded a negative number. The lake moderates the temperature at our house, so that the surrounding area is always a few degrees colder than right here. This means that time after time when below zero temperatures have been forecast it only gets to two degrees or something at our house, disappointing A. yet again.

He really enjoys extreme weather. A harmless enough preoccupation, I suppose.

The current temperature is three degrees, which means it's time to stoke the woodstove and settle in for a long winter's day. Happy frozen Monday, poppets!

I don't remember seeing the update from last year. Did the lake ever freeze over?

The update is the post after that one I linked to. We got just enough of a breeze to keep the lake from freezing. Boo. Maybe this will be our year . . .

I'm glad there is someone out there in the world made happy by sub-zero temps - congrats, A.!

If A likes extreme weather maybe he's interested in moving to Barstow, Alaska?

Forget Alaska ;), A would love living in South Dakota! We get extreme weather all year long around here. Tornados, Blizzards, Hail the size of grapefruits, Massive thunder storms, -40 wind chill, it is never boring! It would be totally cool if your lake froze over. I'd love to see pics!

Sadly A didn't show me the weather station last summer. It would of been one of the many highlights experienced for certain. There is always this coming summer!! LA&A Railroad
