This morning, I was determined to get my walk done. I knew it was cold outside. I opened the door to see “how cold” it really was. About 30 degrees Fahrenheit, for sure, I needed a hat.
Walking at 7:15 AM, my hands were cold. Note to self, gloves not working. Scarf, hat, leggings – all good, but need to prepare for colder temps. Quite a few people walking or running, so I was not alone. Motivation for the next few days.
Imagine my surprise when I saw surfers out on Lake Michigan. I would have LOVED to ask them how they felt when they came out. How warm do wet suits keep them, but it was TOO COLD to wait around. Next time, I will ask.
I did get lovely photographs of the icicles — AMAZING!
Proud of myself, got my walk in. Got to walk rain, snow or shine, right! Otherwise, with COVID we will gain more than the estimated 15 lbs. Don’t want that!
I hope to go sledding this year. Stay tuned for that. I’d be happy if snow didn’t come until February. These temperatures are just right for walking — not tooooo cold.
Happy Exercising Everyone! (I hope I guilted you into walking today…)
Brilliant Viewpoint 
Brrrrrr! Good for you!

It’s in the 60s, during the day, and 30-40s at night. We live with the insanely hot during the summer for this winter. 🙂

The weather is frequently like this through the first week or so of January, so MAYBE you have several weeks yet. On the other hand…
Whatever the case, enjoy!

Yes, with global warming, it’s hard to know what is going on with the weather.

What great pictures! I’m trying to walk every day too, for the immune building benefits of exercise as well as the fresh air, but I skipped yesterday, too icy underfoot and I live in fear of a broken bone. I missed it as always feel better after a walk.

Ok, let’s hope tomorrow some of the ice has melted.

Was it really only 30? I was out earlier and it didn’t seem that cold. Love the icicle photos. 💗

Well, at 7:15 it was 30, I think it went higher as day progressed. Also, it gets a lot warmer when the sun is out. Even at 8:00, I took my gloves off, it felt warmer.

Waves big enough to surf on Lake Michigan? Might as well be the ocean, huh? I learned something new today – thanks!

Great photos, amazing icicles! It is hard to believe that this week I have experiences heatwave conditions near 40 degrees C (100 F) making it impossible to walk outside. Another circuit inside the shopping centre for me.
