Unfortunately for us, we live in the part of the country that has suffered the most from the real polar vortex this year. The winter itself hasn't been bad when you look at snowstorms etc, but the temperatures are a different story. In the month of January, the total number of hours where the temperature was above freezing was less that 2 days. Brrr!!!

Living in town last year, we didn't notice the winter being overly windy or anything, but now we live out near the sticks. Our apartment building is right on the edge of town with empty fields between us and Rochester (there might be some houses here and there, but not too much else). No buildings + open fields + gusty winds (50+ mph) = impressive snow drifts that have been growing taller and taller all winter.

This has made for an especially long winter in our smallish apartment. I just cannot get myself motivated to bundle me and Russell up to go outside and play for any amount of time. High winds and low temps have made tons of wind chill advisories, and school has been cancelled for the entire state by the governor because it has been so cold. Russell would love it a little bit (he does always hold his hood down over his face as we walk into our building because the wind always blows it off his head), but I would be completely miserable. We have spent too much time huddled inside trying to keep warm and not go crazy.
We (Ben) are thinking of a name for the van. Any good suggestions?

I would worry about thinking of a name for your child, not your vehicle.
I am sick of Polar Vortices.
Why don't you name it, "the Van"?
