Who's up for a skinny dip?Follow

Everything is made of or covered in mud. Mud and wet leaves that are almost as bad.

And I don't have a car.




I'm really sick of this weather. I'd almost rather have the -37°C than this never ending grey and brown misery.

Could be worse, could be here.

Is it ever! I'm lovin' this. -34C with windchill right now on the north shore of Superior, and I'm thinkin' of walkin' to work. Little cold weather never hurt anyone who dressed properly for it. Best winter we've had since 08/09.

Business as usual for us today.

Yesterday, my husband's school said they were closing until 1PM today, and then they changed their mind and said they were opening at 11AM as normal. Now he's panicking because he banked on those extra two hours to finish up his syllabus. (Professors really are overgrown students sometimes.)

It's raining here as well, except the rain is melting everything. It's wonderful.

Despite the -16°F temps and half foot of snow we got, this weekend is supposed to be in the high 40's.

I'm sure the conservatives will be all over the global warming implications of that

Crazy weather. It's ~50f here now as well.

The snow and ice is melting like crazy. Every road is a little river. I imagine it will all freeze up again tonight and tomorrow well again be facing Ice-Covered Driveways.

The county schools will be closed tomorrow because they are concerned that single digit temps will cause various problems - buses not starting (no engine down here has a heater block), children with inadequate winter clothing (1 out of 3 kids in our city does not have a proper winter coat), and the friggin schools themselves being unable to keep the cold completely out due to the way insulation is manufactured around here (works great up to 110F.... not so great at 11F.)

My office is going to be open unless we get a surprise snow or ice storm.

I just put my new sticker on my rear license plate. The liquid from the Lysol wipe I used to clean the surface froze before I could get the kleanex from the front seat to dry it off. We have to shuffle to our cars because the ground looks like the ice planet from Chronicles of Riddick. Half the company didn't come in. School buses are closed just about everywhere in the area due to ice formed by the mild temperatures melting snow/slush yesterday and freezing overnight. Supposed to get very cold tonight, temps are plunging fast -2 to -20C through the day.

The Russians are controlling our weather.

Shouldn't have edited it, it probably would have been your best post ever.
