I’m not paying my water bill — it’s minus 16 degrees F in Iowa this sunny Sunday morning!

A drift of snow from my kitchen window. Katie’s photo.

The snow has stopped. It is impossible to know how much we got. Have a giggle, we got is Iowa poor folk speak. A London friend said the teacher would swat a student’s hand if they used got.

“How much we get?” asked farmer Bill, as he snuffed his stogie.

“Doh no, hard ta tell with the wind blowen. I got drifts to the timbers on the south side.” replied ole’ Willabe.

I heard tell it was those that came to Iowa from the south.

I walk four blocks to pay my bill which is due on Monday.

40 below zero wind chill right now and colder tomorrow — I’m staying in the house!

It will cost me a $30 late fee. Fair enough.
