This week has been bitterly cold, and the weekend has been bone-chilling. When I woke up yesterday morning, it was -32 degrees Celsius (that's -25 degrees Fahrenheit) with a windchill of -43 degrees Celsius (that's -45 degrees Fahrenheit)!!! But there is an end in sight. The temp is supposed to warm up throughout the day and even overnight. It is currently -27 degrees Celsius (that's -16 degrees Fahrenheit) with a windchill of -31 degrees Celsius (that's -23 degrees Fahrenheit).
Well, look at that! Looks like a couple of Santa's reindeer have stopped by for a visit!
Oh, my goodness! Didn't I say that it was supposed to warm up on Monday? Look at this!
Monday's high better be a typo!
Alright, on with the books!

Ooh, I thought it was cold here in the 40s!
ReplyDeleteThe snow does look pretty, though, and so do the "reindeer."
My True Love Gave to Me looks like a good one for the season. Enjoy!
Here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
I agree, the snow does look pretty. Hopefully we don't get another big dump of it all at once, though, because the shovelling is brutal!
DeleteWow, -215. It's gonna cool down a bit lol. That's hilarious. You guys are way colder than us, I've been complaining because of 20's and teens F but after seeing your temps I'll just be quiet now. :)
ReplyDeleteNice deer pics! I don't know how they stay warm lol. And I read that holiday anthology last year, hope you like it. There are some good stories in it.
I might fly south today! Let's hope that was just a typo ;)
DeleteI love the deer. The past few years, a doe has given birth in our yard and left the fawns with us while she goes off doing whatever deer do. In the wintertime, I do put out deer feed for them especially when it's this brutally cold. It's hard to see it in that pic up there, but there is actually a heated bird bath behind the swing set so that the critters even have access to fresh water in the winter! Even the squirrels jump up on the ledge and drink.
Great to hear how much you enjoyed the holiday anthology. I normally don't like anthologies, but I'll give it a try.
Wow! You sure have a lot of snow where you live!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my Sunday Post!

It's getting there! That was just one dump of snow that fell last week. Just wait until January or February! We should have lots more by then!
DeleteAnything in the negatives is entirely too cold! It got down in the teens (Fahrenheit) here, and that was freezing enough. o_o I loved A Promise of Fire! And its sequel, Breath of Fire. So, so good. I hope you enjoy all of your new books!
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous week, Darlene. :)
Check out my STS post!
Thanks, Alyssa. I'm happy to hear how much you loved A Promise of Fire. I can't wait to read it!
DeleteWe used to live up north and had a big yard that looked very similar to what yours does, and we would get deer every day. We had a pond just through our tree line and they would head through there. Seeing your post makes me a little homesick, and makes me miss those days when our life was simple and the kids were small. Thanks for sharing these pictures. I really enjoyed them.
ReplyDeleteA pond would be just lovely! I don't have that, but I do get to enjoy a good variety of woodland critters here in my own backyard. That's what made me fall in love with this place was seeing all the wildlife. I'm glad you enjoyed the pictures!
DeleteNow that is cold! It's only supposed to get in the 30s here with wind chills in the 20s. Very cold for the Gulf coast but it won't last long. Good excuse to stay in and read. LOL I don't do cold very well.
ReplyDeleteGreat haul this week. Enjoy and Happy Holidays!

Forgot to say...Thanks for sharing a white Christmas:) And that's quite a rack on one of those beautiful deer!
