As I pen this week’s column, it’s the morning of Inauguration Day. It’s also -30 with a -58 wind chill - a perfect day for a quick little 5k run! Now I know you’re thinking he’s nuts, but I come from a long line of nuts.

These temps are all over the place. How is a girl supposed to know what to wear for the day? Last weekend was easy.

We won! Again! Today, as I type this, it’s Monday, January 20, 2025, and Langdon recorded a frigid low temperature of -32 degrees – actual temperature – making us the “winner,” so to speak, of the coldest temperature in the region contest on WDAY news. Yay, us. This is normal and not unexpected.

You may have noticed my favorite person made the front page this week! I promise, he didn’t end up there just because he is my best friend. If anyone else was given the honor I would plaster their face on the front as well, but this man has been an inspiration to not only me but countless others.

It’s been a wonderful and cold week in the Borderland area, and to celebrate the obnoxious temperatures, I participated in a very fitting activity not once but twice last week.

By Bob Simmons, CEO, Simmons Multimedia We all feel awful for the thousands of folks that have lost everything to the wildfires in California. Obviously living in paradise comes with a price. The finger pointing has already begun.

Last week and the weekend were busy - full of basketball in Minot, Warwick and Munich; hockey games at home (thankfully!); NFL football; various board meetings; taking down my Christmas decorations and cleaning.

It feels strange to watch the massive storm causing all sorts of snow emergencies in the southern states and on to the east coast. Seven states have declared a state of emergency.
