The Deep Freeze

All week long our phones have blown up with text messages from WSBT, warning us of extremely cold temperatures with windchills well below zero degrees all predicted for today.  Thus, we weren't quite surprised when Cameron had a two hour delay already when we went to bed last night.  This morning we realized, however, that Bethany was one of only a few schools that didn't cancel.  We talked to Cameron and decided that it was safest for him to stay home instead.  Fortunately, he was able to attend class via Zoom.  He said that it was pretty easy to keep up as the classes were only 25 minutes long today.

Meg and Brett had cold weather as well, but not quite the dangerous windchills that the northern part of the state did today.  Meg still made it to class, but rode the bus instead of walking.  Brett had the day off, but was able to go swimming without too much change to his walking route.  Cal, unfortunately, had it the worst today as he had the coldest temperatures and still had to go in to work.  I tried not to laugh at his text this morning, but I did find it funny.  I remembered those days when we lived in the suburbs of Chicago.  It was definitely some of the coldest ones in our lives.  Glad that he bought a new peacoat to wear to the bank today and even happier that his car started despite the weather.  Hopefully, this all passes through Indiana and Illinois quickly.
