Last night when the temperature plummeted to -18F (-28C) & the wind was HOWLING, it was BRUTAL. Scary. I was worried we would lose power. That would have been dangerous & not too much fun. But, luckily we didn’t. So relieved.
We had been told that the temps would start rising as of Saturday morning & they sure did IN FRONT of your eyes. -13F when I woke up (at 9am (SMILE)). They said it would be 4F (-16C) by 3pm. It never got to that, BUT we are also at a 800′ altitude.
It was 1.4F (-17C) at 3pm & that was PLENTY WARM ENOUGH for I.
After my first decade in New Hampshire (& I am now in my 3rd), I always maintained that anything above 0F (-12.2C) was a breeze. I am FINE with above 0F. 1.4 was bloody balmy.
Had a great amble. Good book on ‘Audible‘. NO WIND. Nothing.
I had a blast. I feel sorry for those who don’t go out in beautiful weather like this.
I sure had fun.
I have walked at least 10,000 steps, EACH & EVERY DAY, since April 17, 2020.
Today was day 1,023 if my unbroken 1,022 STREAK.
2 years 9.5 months.
And I had 3 eye surgeries during that time. I got in my steps before & AFTER the surgery. The surgeon knew of my need to walk & put in EXTRA STITCHES!
