Ugh. I HATE this cold. For the last two weeks or so, here in metro-Detroit, we’ve been below (way below) our usual temps for this time of year. I think in the past 2 weeks we’ve hit 20 for a high once, all the other temps for highs have either been in the low teens or single digits.
If you count windchill we’ve been either in the single digits to -20 below.
Some people, such as myself, have a very hard time in this weather due to chronic medical conditions (Lets hear it for COPD), others because they cannot afford housing, and others cannot afford heat.
But it is not only a human thing. It is a pet thing. Not a day goes by here in metro Detroit that there is not a news story about a dead frozen pet. I can not understand for the life of me how we can let other humans and animals die because of the weather. Come on now it is the 21st century… we can and must do better.
So if you;re able and willing please check in and let us know how you’re doing.
