Brrrr....right?

It's so very cold out - seriously - like this morning it's -15, minus fifteen. We are in the middle of one of the longest cold snaps in Alaska's history.

But here's the good news:

1. We've basically had uninhibited sunshine during the daylight hours - which really aren't that long, but it's still something.

2. I haven't had to shovel snow in like 2 weeks or something, so that's been pretty nice.

3. I don't have doggies anymore that I have to force to go outside for their business - I sure don't want to go outside for mine, and I always felt bad doing that.

4. I don't bother with sunscreen (that can get annoying)

5. It is absolutely breathtaking outside (not just the cold taking your breath, but the beauty too!). It is truly a winter wonderland - like the kind they make postcards out of. Can't really complain about that.

Goodness, -15 sounds downright lovely and warm. We were pretty thrilled that it was just below -20 while looking at a house yesterday, it felt so warm. Not to rain on your parade or anything. There are always positives to cold weather, like sitting in front of a warm fire enjoying a nice hot cup of coffee while snuggling with your hubby. Alas, we don't have a fireplace.
