Not only is it cold here in the North Country, it's also incredibly windy these last couple of days. The temperatures are in the teens, but the wind chill puts temps in the negative numbers. Today's 35 mph wind gusts are making the temperature feel like -13. Needless to say, we've been inside a lot. We've also received a lot of surprise snow the last few nights. I check the forecast and don't see snow, but then we wake up to plows whirring down the street.
Yesterday, after I picked my daughter up for school, we decided to go for a short walk while she still had her snow suit on. The town of Rouses Point does look really cute and peaceful in the snow. However, the wind is brutal and we could see it swirling the snow around in the air while we were on our walk.
