Saturday Sparks Link Party 551

Welcome to Saturday Sparks 551! 

 Starting off today's party with our wintry world!


You may have seen on the news that we hit a little record here in NH yesterday.

The coldest wind chill ever recorded of 108° below zero happened on our beloved Mt.Washington.

All of New England was hit with that same arctic blast.

We had temps of 18° below with wind gusts of 20-30 mph last night that amped up the 'feels like' temperature dramatically.

We were concerned for the large group of wild turkeys that come around, but they showed up this morning per usual, seemingly unscathed by the bitterly cold weather.

"That's what winter is: An exercise in remembering how to still yourself then how to come pliantly back to life again."

~ Ali Smith

  1. I can't imagine the brutal cold you are experiencing! The lowest temps I lived through for several days in Ohio was a "feels like" minus 35. Though I don't envy you the cold, I do envy the beautiful blanket of snow you have. Keep warm this weekend! Thanks for hosting the party!

    1. Yes, it was Pam! There is a weather observatory on the peak of the mountain that is staffed 24/7 year round. I can only imagine what it must be like to be witness the different weather conditions from up there live and in person. Grace and Peace ~ Suzanne.

    1. Thanks, Tanya! Luckily for us, the weather changes on a dime here in New Hampshire. They are predicting temps in the 40's and 50's for this week. Of course, next week it could be back down to the teens. It keeps life interesting! Many smiles ~ Suzanne.
