After a cold spell, or as it was called, the Polar Vortex, we have finally gotten above freezing, and it looks like the next week will have daytime highs in the '60's and lows at night in the 40's and 50's. What a change, and a welcome one at that. Much of the upper Midwest and East Coast is still in the deep freeze, but we are grateful for the heat wave in the offing for us.
Today it was two less layers of clothing to work outside and I even have a little color in my face which I initially thought was wind burn, but is actually from the late afternoon sunshine. We've lived in a number of places where the weather can change dramatically in a short period of time, and Northwest Arkansas is not much different. There's not a whole lot we can do with the weather systems which come at us from all directions and the impact they can have on us. So far this winter has been the toughest we have experienced since we "went on the road" in late 2013, but we have done okay with the styrofoam skirting for the RV, insulation of our frost-free water spigot and heat-taping the water hose, trouble-lighting the water pump, and making more efficient use of electric and propane heat, space heaters and extra insulation inside the coach itself. Still happy with our accommodations and the things we need to do to keep comfortable and protected. It's a learning experience, but one we have adapted to.
Enjoy what is to come, trust that God has it all figured out, and be pretty certain that we haven't seen the last of the winter of '18 - '19 yet. Heat wave or polar vortex..........Thank You, Lord.
