Sounds like Vermont and Minnesota have had identical weather lately. Very very cold, with intense windchills. There have been something like 10 deaths already this winter due to people driving or falling through ice. MN is the Land of 10,000 Lakes...people think nothing of driving their cars out onto the lake, but not all lakes freeze consistently all the way across! Duh... it's always a tragedy, but my question is, Why drive on the ice?

This past week a couple of high school kids in the suburbs lost their lives that way. Their car apparently went through the ice, late at night; the boy died in the car and the girl made it out and died while trying to cross the lake, the temps. were way below zero and she just froze. Really a sad story. It so reminded me of Dave and Kim, two well liked, talented kids, such a sudden loss. The whole community is grieving.

Sorry so depressing. Guess that's the downside of winter. It really is hazardous and you have to use your brain if you want to live in a climate like this!

We do not have the winters of MN and VT, but single digit temps seem to expose the worst in our building construction. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
