Icy cold

The kids are on their 2nd snow day.  It's been weird.  Super cold with very dry snow.
Last night after dark, I thought the snow coming down looked like it was coming from
a salt shaker, or maybe a dusting of powder sugar.  I think we got maybe an inch or two.
It's been super cold though.  Today when we woke up it was 1 degree.  Tonight with the
wind chill it's suppose to be -12  which is SO STINKIN COLD!

We'll see if the kids go to school like normal tomorrow.  The roads are very icy.

* Update*
The kids ended up having no school the rest of the week.  So, by the time they get back it will be almost a week long break from school.  NM was (might still be) having a shortage of natural Gas.  They asked for
schools, and goverment buildings to close to help ensure more available for residential use.
