Yesterday, in Iowa, during January, we hit 50ish degrees. 
Almost balmy, I tell ya. 
Today I breezed out of the house without my coat because it was 50 yesterday. 
Ha. 
Today is a different story, try minus nine wind chill, actual temp two degrees. 
We did have a fifty - something -- fifty mile an hour winds delivering flash frozen snowflakes. 
You know I'm a fan of flakes. But I've decided I prefer mine when I'm hunkered down in the cozy couch with my hands wrapped around a warm mug of coffee or tea. Up close and personal pelting, also know as snowblasting, kind of takes the awe and excitement out of snowflakes. 
Stay warm.
