Gearing Up For The Bitter Cold
The weather is changing every day. First, it goes from snow to sunny, then cloudy to more snow and now it is going from teens to below zero temperatures. I have learn a great deal about this Wisconsin weather and I am not impressed. Now, the temperatures are going to get so bitterly cold that people are talking about going outside every few hours to start their cars and let them run for a while so they will be able to go to work. They are going to do this during the middle of the night.
I will be staying inside where it is nice and warm. Last week, my dad only had to work three days and then they were so slow that he had the rest of the week off. This came right after two weeks off during Christmas and New Years. We have to wait and see if he will work more days this week or not. Mom has to work on one of the bitter cold days this week. She has to work Wednesday, so I bet she will be using that automatic start on the car. It is really cool. All she does is point this key ring thing out her bedroom window and her car starts by itself.
Grandma is just going to take her battery out of her car and not go anywhere. Grandma works at home so she does not have to go anywhere in the cold. I will keep you up to date about the week and tell you more things.
If you want to read about where my dad works, it is here.
