What do you do when it’s reportedly so cold outside that schools close, the Post Office doesn’t deliver mail and the weather reporters can’t wait to parade in front of the camera outside while they warn others to stay inside?

It’s a confusing time we live in.

When I grew up in this Upper Midwest, snow and bitter cold was called … Winter … and we expected any time from November to April that it could be nasty outside and would prepare accordingly.

I saw a blurb about the Kentucky governor calling people soft (regarding how they reacted to the weather this week) and I’m not really on that bandwagon.  My larger concern is the media has spent so much time explaining how quickly your face could freeze, they forgot to say “cover it up”…so most people just stayed home.

Be prepared and be safe, but don’t be afraid.

Have a blessed weekend!
