Speaking of cold and things related, we found out yesterday the ice skater caught on the Rossi's web cam was Ted Chase. He told Fred the ice was at least 5 inches thick - it's probably quite a bit more now - and although he could hear it cracking occasionally as he passed over it, the spookiest thing was that it was crystal clear so when he looked down, he said he could see the water clearly. Since then we've had some snow so the skating isn't as good, and after this weekend, there will likely be a foot or more of snow covering it.
We are expecting 12-14 inches of snow tonight into tomorrow. Hopefully the storm will be clearing out of here before the Monday commute, but then it's going to get really cold - again.
Meantime, in Walvis Bay, Namibia, Africa, where Bill, Monika and the girls are, it's 70 degrees and partly cloudy. The weather there doesn't vary more than a few degrees either way, so it's never too hot or too cold. However, they only average about an inch of rain a month, for a total of about 10 inches a year. And they have huge sand dunes. I'm thinking Bill and his family must be enjoying their vacation time there. Perhaps we'll hear from them this weekend.
Stay warm and safe, and remember to keep your animals sheltered from this deep cold.
