Hamilton, NJ

I feel cold and tired . Thank God I have a kind and generous neighbor who cleaned my walkway. Afraid of going out in wind chill temps . Car still has ice and snow on it.I don't care at this point. I am not going anywhere today and probably tomorrow. I feel trapped and I do not like the feeling.

Jerry, you will be okay. I am glad you have such a wonderful neighbor. It should warm up some next week just hang in there over the weekend and hopefully, it won't last too long. I used to live in NJ so I get it. I hate the snow and ice and even here in the Atlanta area, it is way too cold. I am sitting wrapped up in my blanket like a human burrito. 😉 Now I have southern blood I swear it is way worse. I recommend the blanket. Stay in if you can no need to go out in the wind chills. Sending Hot Coco Hugs
