There is cold, then there is coldER

We woke up to rain and thunder this morning - a big surprise to us because that hadn't been forecast.  These last few days here will be quite the challenge with how cold it is, both inside and outside the house.  We do keep the room we are in warm, at least.

It had already been raining and thundering, then the sun came out for a while.  It was so cold in the house, even with the heater going, that I decided to set up a chair outside in the sun by a wall.  It was nice sitting outside actually.  Shortly after that,  we went for a walk around the neighborhood to enjoy the nicer weather and to get some newspapers.  As we were walking back, it clouded over and the nice warmth of the sun was gone.  A little while after we got back to the house, the sky got menacing again and this is what it looked like before it started raining AGAIN!
