Cold?

My four-year-old son Cooper asked this morning: "Why is it so cold?"

I replied: "Its still winter and it's only 17*; it will get colder."

Although Cooper does not understand why, we have been spoiled by a warmer than average winter. That's about to change. The fifteen day outlook calls for ten days with lows below zero with six of those days looking like windchills below -20*(two below -30*). It is time to dig out the windbriefs and the warmer clothing; we are moving into a normal winter just in time for the beginning of the spring marathon training season. The National Weather service lists our 90 day forecast as "Above normal", but that doesn't mean we still don't have some cold coming.

I need to think through everything from socks to hats and make sure I am prepared.

This weekend looks cold!!!!
