Frigid Friday

If we thought it was cold yesterday morning, it feels a lot colder today.  The temperature has had only a 3 degree range since 11 am yesterday, staying between 32 and 35 degrees.  And, yes, it snowed some more overnight.  In fact, only three hours out of the last 48 have been officially "dry" at the NWS weather data recording station near the city's airport.  Our total precipitation for this event is now over an inch.  Normally, an inch of water produces a foot of snow.  The snow that fell overnight and yesterday probably tallied only six inches of snow which means it was about as heavy and wet as raw concrete.  Since not a single tree in the city has yet dropped its leaves, that heavy wet snow wrecked havoc on the beautiful trees of Idaho Falls.  The local newspaper's morning Page One banner headline today screams, "TORN LIMB FROM LIMB."  As we peer upon the Currier & Ives wintry scene from inside the warm, cushy confines of our bungalow, we wonder precisely how to go about rigging for this camping trip we're attempting to embark upon today.  Everything appears to be frozen solid outside.  It fills us with The Big Chill just looking at it, let alone working in it.  Once again "Brrrrr...." is the word of the day.  Remember that goofy song "The Bird is the Word."  It had a catchy melody to it.  Here are the simplistic lyrics. Just change the word "Bird" to "Brrr..." and then please sing along with me!  (Our weekly blog stats are below the lyrics.)  Have a great day & Many Cheers, jp
