Very Cold Today

All of this cold had caught up with itself and not warming up much at all today. It didn't make it to the freezing mark of 32 until after noon today and it was still registering a 26 degree temperature with the wind chill. Duke has been in his kennel, the Hilton Hotel, on the back porch since earlier this morning when he demanded to go out. So we put him in the kennel on the porch. He has not come out of there since! He loves his kennel. But he also does not care for cold winter or high winds. I thought he was going to come out once earlier but when he got his face out and felt the cold air, he ducked back inside. He's no dummy! I'm taking a little break and sipping on a cup of hot tea. I need to get the dishwasher running before the sun goes down and temps start dropping again. We have tonight and tomorrow night for sure to go through low 20s and I've already had enough. Just dealing with the weather and animals here. And that is taking longer than normal due to the weather. How is your day going or if you are on the other side--How was your day today?

Got to say, dogs are not slow when it comes to comfort! I couldn't be bothered to go out today, so I've not really had to suffer the cold

I'm sure it is colder where you are. We are just not used to these temperatures for so many nights in a row!

@BACONSTRIPSXXX Yes, the wind is worse by the beach. We got caught in Florida at the beach one year in October with an early cold front and it was COLD!

Yes, we have been getting similar cold weather in NJ. When the cold hits it's definitely teatime for me too! Goes great with a leftover Christmas cookie, lol.

@dgobucks226 I suppose though that they will have to wait since we brought these calories home from the bakery today!

It was 13 degrees last night, but it is 33 degrees right now. The wind isn’t much of a factor, but inside my apartment is freezing. I try to keep my heat off during the day to save money, but I might have to turn it on.

We don't have problem with snow since we live in a tropical country... Today is sunny, and I'll be going out later and be back in the afternoon.

You are very busy and active. I love that. I could use some tea right now, but I have no energy. I have green tea and chamomile tea at least twice a week though regardless of the weather.
