Polar Vortex

Polar vortex are two words I never want to hear in a weather forecast ever again.  My ancestors may originate from Labrador but a century of English breeding means I'm designed for a wet, windy, and relatively mild climate, not the deep freeze I've been living in for the past few weeks.  I may have a fur coat but it's just not thick enough for -17oC.  On the plus side I've had wonderful fluffy snow to play in, I get my feet washed and lotion applied after every walk (the salt hurts my little paws) and the log fire has been burning constantly with my bed strategically place right next to it.
