This past Christmas I was gifted an electric blanket to plug in while I am in my car and this week it has kept me nice and toasty as I make my way around town.

I have chatted with a few people who have talked about pulling out their heated lawn chair and have been enjoying that, and one young lady who informed me they make battery operated heated pants and she has some on the way.

There are a lot of ways to try to beat the cold this week and it is great to see places in town being there for those that need a place to go, the Strathmore Overnight Shelter is available as well the Strathmore Library is wanting everyone to know that if you need somewhere to warm up they have the coffee on and a chair for you.

Alright, my fellow Strathmorites I cannot be alone this week in doing everything to stay warm, what are you getting up to this week to keep the cold out?
