Coldest Temps Warmest Hearts

If any of you ever get the chance to travel through northern Utah you come upon the small town of Woodruff there you will be greated with a sign that reads "Coldest Temps, Warmest Hearts" Which is exactly what you get here. Yesterday morning it was - 21 degrees. For those of you who have never expericenced such extreme temps let me paint a picture for you. When you walk from your house to your car your nostrils freeze, your lungs ache and you are chilled down to your bones. The "Warmest hearts" I've never meet more down to earth people, they are the type of people who would give you the shirt off their backs if you needed it.



This is a picture of Anthonys car tire after he came home from work, the car had been outside all day in the sunshine, yet there are still icilces hanging from the tire well.

This is a picture of the icicles at our church, Before the young men and women got to them there were some that were 6 feet long.




This is our cute little mail box, notice the icicles hanging from the top. When the temps are in the positives (ie, 1, 3 or 5 degrees) the kids bundle up and enjoy the snow! Enjoy your warm weather for me!!! (anything above 10 degrees! :) )

It looks so cold! It drops beolw 50 here and we hunker down and won't go out unless absolutley necessary. Garrison thinks all of the snow looks like fun. Hopefully there will still be some when we come next week.

It gets so much colder here because we sit on this little basin and the cold just settles in here. Your blood definetly thickens but I am still always shocked at how brutal it is. As for my blog, I havn't started one yet, maybe after the holidays? Lisa will have to email you her link.
