The freezing weather brought us wind chill double digits below zero, closed schools and a new term: polar vortex. According to cnn.com, it means the winds swirling around the north pole have become distorted, allowing cold air usually trapped in the Arctic to dip south over the United States. The weather is supposed to warm up by the weekend when the National Weather Channel predicts a high in the 40s. In the meantime, we’re coping with bone-chilling temperatures. How do you cope?

    I keep a pot of good, hearty homemade soup on the stove. Today it’s lentil soup with spinach and kielbasi.

    Kerosene heater, crank up heat when needed, warm drinks, feed the birds often, remember this Hell lasts about eight weeks or so–then the clocks change and there is hope.

    Wearing a couple more layers even while inside the house. (We won’t bump up the thermostat and we live in an older home with drafts.) The dogs are great space heaters. I’m baking a lot of bread, which keeps the kitchen warm. Fireplace is going. We don’t have to commute to work, so are going out only for store runs. This is the kind of weather we used to get around here, so it’s not that much of a big deal. Hunker down and it will pass. Gardening catalogs are on the way…
