There must be a mistake.

I flew home to Fort Wayne yesterday from Spokane, Washington where I spent a week with family.  My oldest brother traveled with me. Spokane, and especially the courtryside where my younger brother and family lives looked like a winter wonderland, snow covered the hills and distant mountains and flocked all of the evergreens.  The temperature was a reasonable wintery 29 degrees. I wasn't expecting anything much different here (except for no mountains of course) but as we were approaching Fort Wayne International Airport the pilot came on the intercom to announce that the current temperature in Fort Wayne was minus 18 degrees centegrade, minus 2 farenheit. I thought there must be sone mistake, maybe I misheard him. A few miles closer, about midnight now, he announced that the temperature was minus 13 in Fort Wayne, farenheit that is.  I really didn't want to hear that. We had driven to the airport in my brothers old van and I was really hoping it would start after sitting in long term parking for a week. A side note here: the weatherman on the 11pm news just said that our low last night (it really was -13) was the same as the low last night in Antarctica. I'm sure you're as excited about that as I am. 
I do want to offer kudos to our local airport. Not only did we get cookies as we stumbled off the plane at 12:30am, we also had shuttle service. I think this is a fairly new offering. When we parked in the long term lot a week ago a free shuttle pulled up just as we were unloading our suitcases and the nice man loaded our suitcases in his shuttle, drove us to the terminal and carried our bags in as far as check in. Of course we tipped him but what a nice service. When we got to luggage pick up last night the same helpful man was waiting to shuttle another person to the parking lot. He agreed to take us along also, loaded our bags in our van, waited to be sure it would start (it did!) and even scraped the windshield for us.  You can be sure he got another nice tip.  Excellent service Fort Wayne International!!
