Welcome Friends!

To A Freezing Walk Wednesday!!

This was the view this morning from the balcony...NASTY!

Well it was 21 degrees out and blowing like crazy! But I was motivated by @dswigle to get out and do some Walk Wednesday pics, so here I go!

Even the van was hit by the ice!

Thank you @tattoodjay for hosting this fun challenge!

The vines at the edge of the road has made an impassible fence!

There is a random pylon at the end of the dead end that never was there before. Some work crew must have left it lol.

Even the berries were blowing in the breeze as my face became increasingly numb!

That looks like a damp cold, fog off the lake. Am I seeing right that your lake is not frozen over? I remember Michigan would get really cold once Lake Michigan would freeze over. Then the days would be clear and super cold. If you want to feel warmer, just think that 21 degrees is over 30 degrees warmer than -10! ; )

Hi HH!!!!!!! Super good to see you!!! Yes the lake was frozen over but we recently had a warm spell right before this cold snap!!! LOL you know Michigan always trying to throw you for a loop lol. It really has been our best winter in a while. We have been dodging the white stuff pretty well so far :)

I wanted to add thank you so much for all of your support. It means the world to me!

Michigan winters can be so variable, for sure. For winter camping, the closest place I could be sure of snow was the eastern shore of Lake Superior. There was never anyone else there, lol!

You're welcome, too. I admire your consistency here, even in the 'difficult times'. And you definitely make Steemit a nicer place.

The real feel here is about 21 right now but actual temp is 40 and I would be saying it’s to cold but now I can’t do that with you out braving way colder temps for a walk yesterday
I think as we age we feel the cold so much more

I must have also been on steem to long as I see the logo

Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk !tip

Yes it sure bothers me the older I get! Keep warm JJ!

Luckily I am at home telecommutting tomorrow so keeping warm will be easier :) the wind in the city was nasty today and really cut through anything it seemed, glad to be home and warm now

Brrrrrr...... I'm not sure what kind of encouragement it would have taken to get me to go out when it was that cold. It would have to be the promise of something really good. You did get some interesting photos though. Makes me cold just looking at them.

It was good exercise, but was not very enjoyable. I just thought if she was out, I could be out lol.

Well if it makes you feel any better, it was only 40 degrees here today headed South halfway through the day. So if you think you're going to come to Virginia to keep warm you are sadly mistaken. However we did not have the ice or the blowing of the berries back and forth.

So you win this round but hopefully we'll get little ice and snow for you so you'll feel right at home. Just think! You may even be able to make a snowman! All kidding aside, I think old man winter is going to visit us coming so I don't think you have anything to be jealous of.

As an added footnote, I'm so glad you got out and about, but after the wind started blowing here I felt a little bad about pushing you out that door. Great pictures as always!

Upped and steemed

Regrettably at 37% voting power, I cannot vote however, I leave you with the tip and a resteem!

Well let me say it feels like a huge difference between 20 and 40. Dont even try to talk me out of my slice of the Camelot pie. Oh no I am going to get down there and go through winter in shorts...oh yeah you know it girl!

Oh I see. You mean the whole time you had your feet up next to the fire with a boiling hot cup of Dunkin, that you felt bad for pushing me almost to hypothermia...

PFFT! As if LOL!

Nooo! Did I say I felt bad?

My mistake! It won't happen again! ;)

No, come to think of it, you never said one word about feeling bad lol. Hmmm... I ASSumed you might feel bad at my grievous sufferings but alas, it was not! ;-P

Hey! Hey! Old-Man-Photos! @Old-Guy-Photos !Don't use your French on my tender ears! They are not used to such manly talk. Wow! Take that nail polish off you and you get all Macho on me.

Pfft! As if!

Oh dear, but I learned it FROM you!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!! Oh I will give you some manly talk now, dont you worry about that!!!!!!!!!!

I think you have been hanging out with @MeesterBoom too long! The two of you surely have a great command of the French Language don't you? Except, he has that cute little Scottish brogue with his and in all likelihood, has a real kilt in his closet.

What have you got?

Lol what a fascinating exchange he he!!

Wow, what a change from the other day. "Make up your mind, Old Man Winter"! Oops, shouldn't have said that, NOW I'm in for it. Frozen stuff everywhere.
I think that little cone is there to keep the locals (in maroon vans) from careening through the barricade at road's end.
And I swear, some of these selfies really give me a good crackup-guffaw. Thanks for the continued mirth. They kind of surprise me like a kid jumping out of the front closet from behind the winter coats, when you open the door. Wonder why?

Oh my selfies are scary too. Sometimes they shock me. I wonder where the old man in the mirror came from!

Want someone to kiss your freezing a**?

Well come to think about it, that might help LOL!

OH, my, Ace! @ace108 You are so darned accommodating! He needs more friends like you. You are so funny, I nearly fell off the chair laughing.
