...which is a common saying here in Eastern North Carolina. Last week, we were visited by the 'Polar Vortex,' and we set records for low temperatures and low high temperatures. Getting cold in the winter isn't unusual. Neither is an occasional dip into the high teens at night. But getting into the low teens at night and not getting out of the mid-20's during the day is highly usual. In the stretch of 7 days, we went from opening the windows in the house, to running the gas logs continuously, to opening the windows in the house. Four days ago, I was dressed in four layers of clothes in order to be outside. Right now, it is 0900 and the temp is 66 degrees, and I'm sitting in shorts and a t-shirt. Unfortunately, it has been raining off and on, and there is a potential for a severe thunderstorm this afternoon.
If you don't like the weather here, just wait 24 hours...

It's true that the weather can be quite unpredictable, so it's best to always have plan beforehand. I'm not sure if 24 hours is enough for anyone to tough it out, but surely having some gas logs handy must have saved you from the bitter cold. Well, let's hope the upcoming winter will be a bit milder this time, as compared to the last one. Take care!
