Cold

Boy it sure is cold here. We woke up and it was 58 degrees!

(I am only writing this post because the temperature where most of our friends and family live is 78 degrees COLDER - it is 20 DEGREES BELOW ZERO in Minnesota and that is NOT including the windchill!)

Late Edit:
My sister wrote to me and she said that in St. Cloud (an hour north of the Twin Cities area) they had 34 DEGREES BELOW not including windchill!
