Arctic Vortex 2016

SO I guess 2016 wanted to go out in a bang!  Brrrrr

It was in the 70's yesterday, and by 7 pm last night, the wind chill/real feel was 11. The vortex came in with really really fast and loud winds. By 9, it was 17 outside with real feel of MINUS 1 and temp was 23.  

Sorry, no pictures. I'm NOT going out there. 

Sam slept by the kitchen window even though it was really cold. He didn't want anything to sleep on either. 

The wind chill/real feel is -1 this morning at 5:30 and it is 17 outside.
On the other had, the wind doesn't sound like a hurricane.

Very grateful that I am inside and I am blessed.

I sure hope all the first responders stay safe while the Arctic Vortex visits.  And hoping the second responders don't stay too busy. 

Thank you to all the shelters taking in those in need. And thank you to those that are fostering stray animals.
