I think we can all agree that we dislike below zero and barely above zero weather. But along with the cold comes the wonderful snow! I mean, who doesn’t like snow angels, carrot-nosed snow men, icicles and yellow snow jokes? I would be lying if I told you I randomly came upon this. Now THAT …
The sun is shinning brightly and the bright blue sky tries to taunt me out of my cozy warm home. But the sun lies. It is bitter cold outside at 18 degrees, and the temperature is about to plummet to 0. But 0 is better than 20 below, the forecast for later this week. Everybody …
