When we got back, I looked at our thermometer: -20° C (-4° F). That's a bit more like it! Then I found a better weather forecast at Weather.com: "Bitterly cold. Mostly cloudy. Low -18F. Winds NNE at 5 to 10 mph." Uh-huh. I can't argue with that one, except for the cloudy part. It was--and is--as clear as can be. They gave -14° as the HIGH for today. We have ice on the insides of of our double-paned windows. (But we're plenty warm, Mom.)
By the way, Weather Underground for Vladimir is usually a pretty good reflection of what we see here. It must have just gotten stuck or something yesterday. It seems to be working again now: -21° F at 9:00 AM.

Brr...Coming in December instead of January probably ensured our survival. You have commemorated the cold with a striking photo of Jaan--thank you! The mental picture of tears freezing on little Raia's cheeks nearly brings tears to mine.
Who is Ann's niece?
Much love to each one.
Hee hee. When you get your email, you'll see that I anticipated and answered your question before you even asked it. :-)
Her neice is Dorothy.
That is pretty interesting and something I think of often, amazing , just amazing.
"She was crying, and the tears were freezing on her poor little face!
Bless her heart, that is COLD!
I really believe in the

P--At Sugar Mountain, and Boone Mountain, NC the temp this weekend fell to somewhere between 18-28 degrees with a wind chill in the lower teens. We experienced a mini blizzard too! I was so excited!! There was about 4-6 in. of fresh snow on the ground everywhere! I'll write more in my blog later.
Praying that you all keep warm!
