Snow!

(If you really wanted to nit pic we had some dustings before, but they don’t count)

Today was the first snow of the year! I can’t say that I am really that excited about it, but its still kind of fun to see. It made the drive to work rather long and slow, but my fellow drivers were being cautious, and I won’t complain about that. It’s much preferable to the other alternative.

Also, it is still brutally cold, not quite the -4 we had yesterday, but today still saw negative temperatures. The thermostat in the apartment still says the temp is the same, but it feels colder. I think maybe there is just a bubble of warm air around the thermostat. On a recent trip to Blair I helped Heather figure out how to hook up the electric blanket her bed was equipped with. Right now I have to say I am somewhat jealous of her blanket, although I would settle for Heather staying with me in Omaha.

I guess it is kind of nice to have Heather in Blair on days like today, when driving conditions are questionable. She only has a few miles to get to work instead of 30ish. Sadly I can’t really think of anything else good about having her MILES away, but maybe the cold is inhibiting my creativity.
