It's Cold Outside....

OK. I know it gets cold in the intermountain west, but even the locals say it is colder this winter than usual. Much colder. Last winter I rarely had to wear more than a windbreaker, and only got out the winter coat when the temperatures dropped into the teens. This winter I have been really happy when the temperature warms up to the high teen or low twenties. That's really cold for a guy who has spent most of hes 63 years in Mississippi!
The good thing is that we have had snow on the ground for about 5 weeks, so when spring finally comes the water levels in the rivers, streams, and lakes should be up well above what we saw last year. Maybe less drought this summer.
I think I'll go put on a coat and some gloves.
