2.1 right now according to my weather station, -.7 wind chill(NWS weather spotter). We've had multiple days around here into the negatives. Sucks but what are you going to do about it outside of move and that's not happening. My other half has lived in this house for over 40 years and she's got a stronger bond with it than some people have with their first born.

I'm ready for spring. I'm not really a fan of winter anyway, not since I was a kid. I'll hope for a white Christmas in December but after that's over with, it can all go away.

I lived in Trenton, NJ years ago and this is happening there now. I still have family in Mercer County so I keep up on things there. They have a boil water order in place.

Ice jam on Delaware River leads to flooding in Trenton and Bucks County

The past few days we've been told that Austin will be getting snow, sleet, and ice all day Tuesday and into Wednesday, of course this caused a panic. People are freaking out, shutting down schools (good), causing a run on food at HEB (bad), meanwhile I'm completely calm about the weather, but terrified of the other drivers, who have little to no experience driving in ice. But it turns out that if you leave early to try to beat the traffic, nobody is on the roads at 7:20. Nice

I saw the lines at Live Oak stretching for blocks trying to get growler fills before Freezagedden hit. Hope you were able to get a ration of 512's Pecan Porter. If Freezagedden turns into the Afreezalypse, I will ride my trusty mule, Montana all the way to Austin and enjoy those Pecan Porters as we fend off the White Walkers at the Wall.

Meanwhile in AZ, the polar vortex pays us a visit this weekend with high temps in the upper 50's. Gotta get into storage and find my North Face jacket.

.... relax, I paid for it.

That's the problem, I forgot to stock up on beer...I made it into work anyways so I can just go later

 

[zelezo vlk]

I woke up to find out that our heater is apparently not working. It's not supposed to be above 50 until Friday, so this is definitely not good

That's awesome! You can leave the beer on the coffee table now and it's ready to serve.

I'm so cancelling our natural gas account!




(Hope things work out latin lover)

For the weather geeks (great read):

If I recall correctly, that was during my one year in Miami.

My Karmic payback was 36 subsequent years in Minneapolis.



A bill I gladly paid.

Turned 9 during the week we had off from school. Didn't get a party for a few weeks. Neighbor with snowmobile did grocery runs for the neighborhood that didn't get plowed for days.

Osceola Indiana by the way in between Elkhart and Mishawaka. Domain of the start of the Penn Kingsmen dynasty.

Turned 9 (In 1978)...

That moment when you realize certain posters are far older than you thought they were......

 

[connor_in]

Yep...sneaking up on the half century next year

Get the help off my lawn.

Fyi for those around the same age I am reading Ready Player One now and the nonstop 80s references are phenomenal

 

[dshans]

Well ... Oh, shit, where did I leave my glasses?

Are my teeth in my mouth or in the glass on the nightstand?

What's all that racket?

What happened to Fay Wray?

Just bring me my Reader's Digest and TV Guide ...

I know right?

I thought Connor was a Pimpled PlayStation Perp. Instead, his game is Pong. Damn near old as me. He was probably a freshman playing in the pep band when I invaded their gym stole all their cheerleaders and maybe a stray mom or two, depending on the year.

Hey Ward,

Shut up, roll over and service June before Wally and the Beav get home.

 

[loomis41973]

I was only 6 but remember it well.

 

[dshans]

Hey Ward,

Shut up, roll over and service June before Wally and the Beav get home.

We slept in separate beds. Rolling over would have had me on the floor.



I preferred the "Pouncing" approach.

 

[ACamp1900]

I thought Connor was a Pimpled PlayStation Perp.

Clearly had the two of us confused...

 

[MNIrishman]

Man, that would be nice. All our snow is gone and I feel like a Southerner at the beach when it's 50 degrees and raining.

Only the Snowbirds go to the beach when it's 50 and raining.

Sounds like you got your Cleaver's education from Eddy Haskell.

Like Dick, Ward and June slept in twin beds, Lover's Leap. A service call roll over would have resulted in an ER visit or at the least both trays of ice cubes.

Can actually say I never saw an episode. Must have been on the same time as The Three Stooges.

 

[ACamp1900]

I had that electronic baseball... loved it.

No, Leave It To Beaver aired about 25 years earlier than the Malloy, Beauchamp, Wadsworth era.

 

[MNIrishman]

It's raining in the upper peninsula. Cincinnati is 71 degrees. You won't understand the depths of my dismay at this weather until we get four feet of snow in June. This is just awful. It's miserably warm outside. We need a new ice age.

Help is on the way!

Just 57 here in Scottsdale with 25 mph sustained winds, gusts 45+. Low in the mid 30's tonight.

I'll put a bow on this sh!t and send it to you overnight express.

 

[ACamp1900]

Was pretty cold here last night, then I get to the office and the AC was apparently left on all weekend and the office was sitting at 49 degrees....... fun.
