MINUS 26 at 9am today in Northern Illinois - was a degree off of record breaking. Wind chills are somewhere in the -30 to -40 range. For the second day, everyone has been in the house enjoying meaty bones and a good brush & nails grooming. Outside in the yard for a few mins and they are walking 3 legged. A warm-up (with snow) expected tomorrow. Thankful for the warm-up, but we already have 3 feet of snow. I don't know how Sally survived 2 WEEKS of this!!!
