    -8 right now, was -20 this morning with -49 windchill, schools closed 3 times in the last week. Polar Vortex[^] they're calling it, I call it %#@*&!, Ravi's description is far too nice a way to describe it. Then the crazy canucks blow up a pipe line [^] (By accident, of course) and the utility companies are telling us to turn the heat down to 60F (16C) so we doin't run out of gas. F-f-f-f-f-f-f -freeze off!

    It was broke, so I fixed it.

      Back in 2004, the Upstate region of South Carolina (Rock Hill specifically) got a snow storm in February - 18 inches in one day. What would have been a 45 minute commute home took 3 hours. And, no, it doesn't happen very often, but when it does... well, just stay off the roads. Even if YOU know how to drive in it, MOST of them don't. Tim

      Stay off the roads because all the non-driving idiots are out in force, they can't even drive the roads when it rains so when it snows well...

        Yes - we have flowers blooming as well. "Crocuses" apparently - I only recognize two forms of plant: "Grass" and "Tree". Everything else is a complication I leave to Herself. I will (under duress) mow the grass, but I draw the line at anything else.

                I heard they had to postpone a few stages of the Iditarod due to warm temperatures and a lack of snow.

                            It's so cold (how cold is it?)... our tulips and daffodils are now superconducting. The flowerbed is a 4.7 teraflop Beowulf cluster.

                              It's been pretty rough here, as well, PJ. In the mid to high-70s, sunny. Ugghh! X| I planted a nectarine tree last weekend, and it's already sprouting new growth! :-D
