School cancelled Wednesday & Thursday in my area.
Noticed these planes up on their tails at 06C last night...

So glad I left the area many moons ago...
And people ask why I live on the West Coast... >:D
Move to the Pacific Northwest... The rain, moderate temperatures, and occasional earthquake/volcano are much more enjoyable than the Midwest/Northeast with their double-digit, below-zero temperatures.
In recorded history, Seattle's lowest temperature ever was 0° F in 1950 and the infamous rain in Seattle is really just a publicity stunt to keep people away (Seattle's 38 inches/year vs. New York City's 42 or Chicago's 36). 8)
Here in MS, it's the Winter storm that wasn't... Balmy 40 degrees outside right now.
Now I know what it's like to live in Miami when it gets down to 50. People are acting like this (-10 tomorrow) is the start of the next ice age. It's going to be 40 on Saturday.

Lies, all lies - rains all the time, horrible climate, no jobs, bad crime - ignore people who say things like this. Stay away - danger - danger - danger!
:)
I feel your pain. We've had 3 feet of snow since last Friday and we are expected to get 3 feet more between now and Friday morning. On top of my own home, I'm responsible for snow removal at our squadron HQ...so I'm cranky this week.
We may get 3 inches of rain by Sunday evening. Don't hate! >:D
Bah. It's Winter. Big deal.
Chi-beria is my favorite reference so far...
I played pond hockey for 2.5 hours yesterday, I am 40 and paying for it today!
Foot and a half of snow as of right now
Making some ice clouds. The water was boiling in the kettle.

Very odd - it was literally colder this AM then it was yesterday, yet a lot of people are back to work and acting as if
things are OPS NORMAL.
Attention spans, apparently.
Granted it is getting warmer by the hour, you can almost watch it climbing, however it won't be above freezing today.
And 51° Monday? Seriously? I could be on my bike again in less then a week after near record cold.
Doing what you did with the boiling water was nothing! Try it next Monday!
>:D
From -51 here in MN on Jan 29 to 31 above on Sat Feb 2... nothing like an 80 degree temp swing... but hey, it's Minnesota! :P

At least it is a dry heat, right?

No water, but was outside in shorts grilling.
The below, BTW, is what you use when your wife decides you are going to grill
SuperBowl burgers and your BBQ literally just left the yard on a scrap metal truck.

Sounds like poor planning to me! >:D Why would your grill be in a scrap metal truck?
Clapped out.
Reminds me of when I was a graduate student at Indiana U in Bloomington. I became a good friend with another student. One wintery day we gave a ride to another student to her house in Gary, Indiana. This place was abt 4 miles from one of the great lakes, I believe it was Lake Michigan. We ended up grilling hamburgers in a light snowfall at night. Think you may have liked that.
The next day we continued to Chicago. And on the highway, a lot of snow. Along with cars that had skidded off because of the white stuff.
I envy you!
