I Want To Go Where It's Warm Wednesday@ the MSC

[SMLCHNG]

Good evening, all.

Sending warm thoughts to all of you. We were in the 50's today, and the same tomorrow. It's still melting the 'mountains' of snow we've gotten in the last several weeks. More plowing, more piles of snow. If the sun doesn't hit it? It stays around this year.

Not much else to update. The state of CO Dept of Health showed up Tuesday at 3:00 for another "survey", which in my previous life would be called an audit. We had one from the "Joint Commission" in December that went well, but the state is a lot pickier. Everyone is on edge, cause these kind of things can shut a hospital down.

I have you ALL beat. Eastern Iowa, 2:00 AM this morning the temperature was -25 degrees, wind chill was -52 degrees.
Right now (12:40 PM CST) it’s -15 degrees with a wind chill of -41.
Forecast for tonight is calling once again for wind chills to be from -50 to -60 degrees.
I’m 67 years old and this is the coldest weather I’ve ever had the displeasure to be part of.
I walked across the street yesterday to my mailbox, was outside for less than two minutes, and my left eye was frozen shut by the time I was back in the house.
I was born in December of 1951- two weeks after I was born (January of 1952) the U.S. Postal Service suspended mail delivery due to the weather being dangerously cold. Today, for the first time in 67 years, there will be no mail delivery in Iowa, Minnesota, W. Wisconsin, W. Illinois,
South Dakota, Montana, and North Dakota due to the lethal weather conditions.
As for me, I’ve been INSIDE my house since last Wednesday and have no intention of leaving to go anywhere until AT LEAST Friday. Just staying home, watching movies, playing music, and guzzling hot apple cider and chicken broth.
Still living the dream.

I don’t even know what to say but. YIKES

Ditto what Linda said.
