This sucks.
It got down to 2degF here last night (before wind).
Now it's snowing. A lot.
It's even to cold to go in the garage and look at the bikes.

BTW, Sisyphys, you out there? Y'all are getting hammered.

The only reason I've been out to the garage is to use the snowblower. Which has been often.
It got up to 17 here today and almost felt warm.

This would probably be a bad time to mention we're having record highs in Seattle, right? Damn near 70 in spots around the area for the last few days. I don't know what to think.

In OlyWa it's only getting up into the low 60s. Nowhere near Seattle.
Seriously, being in the NE doesn't look like a ton fun at the moment. May your pipes stay thawed and your beer supply sufficient.

Update: only about 4" here overnight so we're not too buried, but there's more on the way later this week, and the forecast says Thursday will see lows in the negatives
before windchill.
Fuck this noise. This is getting into MN/WI weather. I didn't sign up for this shit! This is the Chesapeake Region, we get cold but not
THAT cold.
Still no word from Sisyphus, I see. I hear the folks up in Maine got pounded -- hurricane-like snow conditions.

You know what we call snow plows riding 3 wide down the expressway and school closed because the temp won't crest 0*F (not to even speak of windchill) in Chicago?
A Thursday.

NoDak schools keep right on rocking at -20F. So I left.

Shit we got into the 20's last night, but we have had such warm weather lately we left our plants outside. Fuck fuck fuck, I have had those plumeria too damn long to lose them now...

I call it "Global Weirding".
28* with freezing sleet the last two days. In Texas. Got up this morning in the middle of a full round of hot/cold, chills/fever. Went in at 5:30 a.m., coughed up a bunch of gunk and looked miserable, and got sent to bed. I could have likely toughed it out, but could not see how spending a couple of hours out in that would improve my condition or make me a safer driver.
My partner came stumbling into our room a half an hour later. Seems she barfed all over the briefing room. Oops.
"Really, sir, we ARE sick!"
