F-f-f-frozen

Well, we may not have a lot of snow, but we got ICE!!! A friend asked me the other day while we were running to our cars in the negative teens(before the wind chill factor), "are people really suppose to live here?" I wonder! We have the heat wave today in the 20's and we are thankful.

The annual Winterfest brings about the "so-called" caste and sledding slide every year, if there is enough ice and cold weather. I think we had it all covered this year. We grabbed the sleds one day during Steve's lunch hour, despite it only being zero degrees. We managed to have some good sledding, snapped a few pictures, left the car running, and enjoyed its warmth after a short 15 minutes. Maybe we'll hit it one of these days during the heat wave before it melts!
