Winter Wonderland My Ass


Man, if I'm going to be this cold there should at least be some spectacular scenery involved. At least the snow has stopped, so the main roads are pretty clear. The smaller neighborhood roads, however, are paved in ice. Today we drove out to the local Tanger Outlet Mall where we ran from store to store with the 17-degree north wind stinging our faces. Yes, more shopping. Between the shopping, car repairs, and restaurant meals, this is turning out to be a very expensive little visit.
I had been hoping to make an evening Spin class today, but the gym cancelled all of the afternoon classes because it's New Year's Eve. I guess I'll be starting out the new year down in the basement riding the mag trainer. At least we did manage to get the Jeep back with its fully functional heater. Right now the temperature is 4F and will likely bottom out with a wind chill of around -9 tonight. The other day when we were at the big sporting goods store at the Mall, I noticed they had an entire rack full of various types of balaclavas. Now I know why.
