This is how today’s weather was being predicted by local weather authorities over the last week.  Everyone seemed to be preparing for it, and luckily I was unscheduled at Old Navy today so I had the luxury of staying at home all day.

Except for the fact that I needed to get gas for my car and run a few errands in preparation for my upcoming trip.

You know it’s bitter cold when you get a “cold” headache while standing outside pumping gasoline.  You know it’s bitter cold when you can feel your nose hairs freezing inside your nostrils.  You know it’s bitter cold when you have been inside for over 10 minutes and your skin is still cold underneath your jeans.  You know it’s bitter cold when you almost get the wind knocked out of you while walking the few feet from your car to the store as a result of the freezing air entering your lungs.

The Weather Channel website says the high today was 1 degree and the low -8. There is a wind chill advisory until noon tomorrow.

Funny how it is actually going to be warmer in Idaho this week!
