Basement became romper room when it was cold.
TBH- I don't remember it being this cold so much, in the last decade. Above 32 or so we walked and checked out a playground - and in STL most days it was that and then some. 40s was more normal daytime range over the last decade.
back to work today for me. although USD 259 is still closed...usually the university follows their lead but not this time...but hey, 2 days off and i'm not "charged" for it, i'll take it
I took the kids sledding, snowhiking, building snowmen, drinking, bundled up to the playground.
When I was a kid, 10 and up, I would shovel off enough of the driveway to shoot hoops. Not sure why I bothered with shoveling since you couldn't really bounce the ball below 30F
About ready to pull into my driveway with below zero temps and hearing on the radio that this is the 3rd snowiest and 7th coldest winter in 142 years. It's been this way for over a month. You can take this thread and stick it where the sun don't shine.
At one point in my driveway that butts near my neighbors property and there is a fence and some big brushy stuff and I really had trouble just figuring out where to put the snow. You can't just shovel it off - now you have to have a freaking strategy because you can't keep adding to 6' high piles.
