Too funny, Mary! I remember being at Ricks and at 50 everyone thought it was spring and were out in tshirts and shorts. Here the teachers wonder if they should let the kids play on the playground. Its supposed to be 70 in a few days. How bout you guys?? ;)

I like the "school starts 2 hours late" they never close schoold for inclement weather in Utah or Idaho - whereas, a skiff (is that a word that works here?) of snow in Washington state or Georgia and the whole state shuts down! What troopers you Idahoans are!

Haha, while I've never lived in Idaho, I'd believe it. I just have to laugh everytime the weather is forecast for under 32 degrees. Last week the whole city practically shut down because it "might" snow. Crazy Houston!

Ha ha! That's pretty silly. I love your blog.

I haven't noticed the cold at all this winter. I am always so hot when I'm pregnant. I've only worn my coat a handful of times...I have mostly just used my jacket. And even then, I have felt too hot sometimes!
