What's more current than the weather?

2 degrees F, -19F with the windshield factor.

The talking heads on TV are doing their chicken little imitation, running in circles screaming, the temperature is falling, the temperature is falling.
Sure am glad they told me to wear a coat if I go outside, I wouldn't have thought of that.

National news says more than 200 million Americans will see lower than 20 degrees F tonight.

This. Only we don't have a windshield factor. We do have a windchill factor...local news says 20 to 30 below, factoring in the factor.

Crazy cold. Takes your breath away cold. Painful cold. Cold that makes 20 some degrees feel like a tropical oasis.

I really hate cold.

I was all set to walk the mile to the metro in the 9 degree, -200 windshield factor, when my wife offered to drive me.

Hell, yeah!

So I went out and started the car to let it get a little warm inside, and it struggled getting started. But it did! All sorts of creaks and squeaks from the suspension going over the speed humps and such.

It's winter alright.

And what I noticed is this: when I went out in that frosty and started the car, I was all worried about it, like, how's it going to react to all this cold? I was worried for the first five minutes.

But I realized something: the exact moment I stopped worrying for it was when there was enough heat to heat ME up. Oh it's nice and toasty in here, car's doing fine!

No, car's still out there in that 5 degree weather. It's YOU who's doing fine...
