It's not snow in Northern Pennsylvania,
but roller coaster temps.
On Thursday and Friday it was minus 10, yesterday it was 15 above, this morning it was 22 (above), and went up to 35 by late afternoon. I just walked my dog, checked the temp, and it was 45! (A heat wave)!! Weatherman predicts freezing rain, and the temp to plummet to -7 by dawn, and stay there two of three days brrr! Fortunately we have a fireplace in the living room, a new wood stove between the kitchen and living room, that my partner had installed this fall, and another wood burning stove in the basement. In addition to an electric blanket, we have an 85 pound bed warmer pictured here. My dog, Felecia, sleeps on the floor at the bottom of the bed, but once my partner and I fall asleep, she gets up and either lays at our feet or snuggles in between us (on top of the covers).
In weather like this, I'm drinking a lot of hot coffee, and huddling by the fireplace, in fact my computer is there so I'm toasty warm while I write, or post. Going out for wood, or walking the dog is another matter, I freeze my ---- off.
To all my friends in the Midwest, New England and anyplace where it's sub zero, please find ways to keep warm, till this monster of a cold front passes.
