We've had the lanai/patio plants in the house for several days. This morning when I started the car to go to the Fitness Center, the temp said 63 and when I returned an hour later, it read 29. I guess we have a well-insulated garage so the Corvette is nice and snug. My body hasn't experienced this much cold since my nephew's December 2004 wedding in Minnesota! I canceled my tee times for today and Friday. Meanwhile, Phoenix is basking in 70 degrees. At least some of my family is warm.
There are severe weather alerts for our area. I did a double take when I saw the word fire. To my frozen brain, a hard freeze warning and fire weather watch don't go together. Seems the humidity could dip below 35%, bringing chance of wildfire. Arne wanted to experience some weather changes and he's getting them.

After reading over what I wrote I'm thinking the next book I should read is "Stitch 'n Bitch." It's about knitting. :-)
Well, all I can say is you are still warmer than Iowa or Chicago! It is really weird. Bummer weather everywhere...except here, of course! :-)
