2025 is already trying to teach us a lesson

Dec 31, 2024

Here we are… the eve of a New Year. I thought I was more than ready to usher in 2025 until I found out it’s already got it in for most of us here in the US. 🙁

Coldest temps since 1994??

In case you don’t remember what those temps were in Indiana, let me refresh your memory:
— Indiana’s state record low was -36° in New Whiteland
— Indianapolis hit -27° on January 19, 1994

Without spending a ton of time digging through really old photos, I don’t have one to share from January 1994. What I do have is one from January of this year when the glass storm door was frozen over:

And one from January 10 years ago…

Predictions can be wrong! *crosses fingers*

Meteorologists are predicting bitter cold coming soon to Indiana — with temps “much below” normal for January. One (that I noticed), said it could break 1994’s record. I love me some snow, but I’m not a fan of cold wind or temps below 25° or so. 2025 is coming… and so is winter weather here at the barndo.


Now you know: When Jimmy Hendrix’s mom died he was 16. His dad did not allow him and his brother to go to the funeral. Instead, he gave them shots of whiskey and told them that was how men should deal with loss.
