A "polar vortex" or arctic front came in over the weekend bringing frigid temperatures following a beautiful snowstorm last Thursday. Indianapolis got hit hard yesterday with over 11 inches of snow and temperatures as low as -12 with windchills on top of that. Cincinnati only got a dusting of snow and a little ice but the day began with -2 degrees and will probably end with -6. It is definitely cold in the house - have the space heaters going along with the heat pump. I scraped the ice and snow off of the car but have not ventured out. Dennis went out and brought the mail in on his daily trip to buy a lottery ticket (hope never dies). So we know we can get out but who really wants to. Fed the birds and the cardinals, chickadees and woodpeckers are taking advantage of it. I don't know how they survive in this cold. Here are some pictures from the last week of winter in January 2014.
