Indiana Weather

I've seen both of these this week...ahhhh! It's so crazy!!!!
I forgot what winter is like, and going from Alabama to Indiana is quite a weather shock.

I learned many valuable things yesterday about winter in Indiana, like...

1. What a defroster is, and where it is in my car.

2. I need to let my car run at least 5 minutes before going anywhere.

3. Never have less than a quarter of a tank of gas, because it'll freeze the pipes.

4. The windshield wiper fluid freezes.

5. I need to break about 10 seconds earlier when driving in snow.

6. What a "scraper" is.

7. It takes about 10 extra minutes to get dressed in the winter.

8. Sperry's are not going to be sufficient shoes, and my pea coat will get me through November 1st.

9. Winter in Indiana goes from November to March.

10. It'll still snow in April.

11. The snow in Winona Lake doesn't fall, it pummels you in the face.

12. It gets below -20. Easily.

13. Hibernation is not an option for college students.

This is going to be such an enlightening experience.
