Cold ,Very Cold

Good Morning,

I am not sure how cold it is on the stoop but the back deck thermometer said seven below zero.
0830:
Our cat Dolly is pissed off because she has lost her choice of staying in or going out. She loves being outside but today it is very dangerous for her outside without shelter. So she is stuck with us indoors.
It has warmed up some but the wind is still blowing.

1100:

I dug Laurel's van out of the snow. 

There was over two foot of snow on her van's hood.

 I had to use the snow shovel to move that snow.

1530:

13 degrees;

the sunshine has melted the sheet of ice 

covering the van's windshield. 

The windows are clear of ice.
