WHAT?!?!  Yes, the weather forecaster gave the stats last night. This is the coldest, nastiest, rainy day in central NC since 1916. It's raining now, wind blowing sideways and temps in the 30s. No ice or snow, but windchill is shocking. 

Oh sure, as luck would have it, I have errands I saved for today...places not opened on Sunday. 

I have my coat like the TSV...took it out of "storage" last night, looked for my gloves/cashmere scarf that I didn't need last year (maybe not the year before either except once). I zipped on the furry hood and am headed out around 10. I look like snowy, plane crash survival movies!! Lol

@fancy pantsy   Thanks. I'm leaving my trusty electric blanket out ready to plug in as soon as I get home. BTW, Molly joined me underneath it the other day for the first time. After a first puzzled look on her face, she settled in with a beagle, "Ah". Lol

Re: COLDEST DAY SINCE 1916!!!

We had that earlier this week.  But after two days and nights of record breaking cold, the following day I was out in shirtsleeves!  And it's been beautiful ever since.

 

So don't despair--it's only temporary.  But keep warm until then and be careful driving.

@dex   I'm fairly good behind the wheel. It's the other drivers I fear the most.

I despise cold weather......and I am living in the wrong area of the country.

@Shanus.  Do you mean coldest temperature for the date?  Surely not coldest day ever.  Sounds miserable.  We've got 62° and sunny.  Hot air balloons out driving my dogs crazy this morning.
