The TV weather guy told me that our area has already had ten days in which temperatures have not risen above freezing.  He added that we’ve got at least another four days of below freezing temperatures in the forecast and a possible ice/snow mix coming up early next week.  Over the New Year’s weekend–Saturday evening through Tuesday noon–we were under a wind chill advisory.  The danger was frostbite in as little as 30 minutes, leading to possible hypothermia.  Residents were cautioned to cover all exposed skin if they went outdoors.

 

Hawai’i also had weather warnings out for part of the holiday weekend–Monday afternoon through Wednesday morning.  In Hawai’i, however, it was a high surf advisory.  While we St. Peters residents were covering all exposed skin, those poor beach goers in their swimsuits had to be cautious on the beach.

 

I’m counting the hours until our flight leaves at 8:00 am Friday!
