C-c-c-cold!

Last night, Mark and I watched a really amazing Buffalo Sabres game in which we really reduced the Toronto Maple Leafs.  Because Buffalo and Toronto are in relatively close proximity, a lot of Leaf fans attend the games hosted in Buffalo.  Lasy night, I felt sorry for any fans who ventured south…what a game!  It is so good to see Buffalo’s Tim Connolly back and healthy, as well as Teppo Numinen, who is back after suffering a fractured jaw when a puck slammed him in the face last month.  We also have Patrick Kaleta back from a neck injury suffered during a game a couple of months ago. The end score was Buffalo, 5: Toronto, 0!

This morning when the clock radio went off, I have to admit, I wanted to pull the covers up over my head! They announced the various temperatures in the region, and they were COLD! My hometown was at -7!  I did brave the cold….hahaha….we have nothing to fear…..we have the Jotul!

I fed the boys and took them out.  As much as they love the cold like I do,  they were not the least bit hesitant to run in the front door as soon as it was opened!  I kicked my boots off and looked down…I could not resist photographing my contrasting footwear.

I go nuts when my feet are cold, so you get an idea of how warm it is inside our house!

I’ll leave you with something to warm things up a bit.  When I caught the spectacular colors of the sky the other evening,  I don’t know why I showed two similar photos. Guess I was tired!  Here is another zoomed-in shot from that evening.  I wish the sky had colorful shows like this every night!

There isn’t a lot on the itinerary for today. That may be a good thing. I think the main event will be trying to keep warm! The temperature is supposed to be about 20 degrees warmer tomorrow than today!  Like I always say…it is the New York weather roller-coaster!

  • Fantastic sky!

    It’s cold here too, but not *that* cold. I’ll have to remember not to moan (or at least not so loudly!) about the weather.

  • Just spotted your comments on the other blog. I’m SO impressed you restrained yourself for so long! Am a bit embarrassed as well – I can be quite pseudy on that blog sometimes (isn’t that right Ian?!). But I’m glad you found it, I enjoy my conversations over there as well as on Glasgow DP so it will be fabulous to have you join in too :)

    Funnily enough I had EXACTLY the same reaction as you when I saw Amazing Grace. Actually I said to Pete (HD on my blog, my dear and (infinitely better) half) afterwards, well, once I’d stopped crying my eyes out, “I think I want to change the world!” Hee hee, I just get a bit overtaken by existential angst every so often and beat myself up. I think really what I’m musing about isn’t so much about changing the world per se, more about significance and my place in the world.

    It’ll be good to get this PhD over and done with. Then I can stop scratching my chin while pondering imponderables, and get on with living life! :D

  • Nothing but boots on our boot tray unless my boots are on my feet then my slippies (my term for slippers) are there waiting for me.
