Guys, it feels like winter out there.

xoxoxoBruce · 01-30-2019, 10:22 PM

I was in the supermarket this afternoon and when I got to the checkout it was snowing like a bitch. 75% of my shit rung up and bagged the power goes off. Only off for a couple minutes(they probably have emergency generators) and everything comes back on... except my register. The register ramrod takes all the stuff to another register un-bags, rings up, and re-bags in short order but by now there's a half inch of snow on my truck. Load up all the bags and it stops snowing as soon as I put it in gear.

Chicago was talking -10 F (-23.3 C) with wind chills of -44 F(-42.2 C) today, and -25 F (-32.7 C) tonight. The post office halted mail delivery in parts of Michigan, Iowa, Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania today. No telling how long for.

Maybe you'll get a frost quake.

We made 11 last night.

Everything I have hurts.

My car said 9 while I was driving home last night. And my heat had been off all day at home.

Luckily, I'm surrounded on 2 sides, plus the top and bottom, by other condos whose heat I had leeched sufficiently that it was only in the low 60s when I got there.

Sosúa, Dominican Republic

Temp: 81F
Humidity: 73% (gawd)
Mostly cloudy

Possibly the most tolerable weather since I arrived (humidity is a bitch).

Gravdigr · 01-31-2019, 11:14 AM

Just for kicks I just checked the temperature of my tap water and my water bottle in the fridge.

Tap water 46 degrees.
Water from fridge 39.

Lakes around here once froze many inches every winter. Even with this mild cold snap, only a light ice layer exists. Which is more than some recent winters. It rarely gets cold anyone. A day (or two) of -17 degree C once was a normal winter.

But then we would walk ten miles to school every day.

I'm going there, dammit.

Or somewhere warm. Just put in for vacation Feb 10th. Amanda just needs to pick a place already

It was 2 on the early commute. When I started the car, the stereo didn't switch on. After the car warmed up a little, I had a chance to turn the whole car off and back on. The stereo came on, but it lost its presets.

She picked the florida keys. Key west. Cool. Margaritaville it is.

Might not be swimming warm, but hopefully it'll be nice. I don't usually trust the forecast beyond 3 days, but this is a good sign :

I could do with a bit of abundant sunshine

xoxoxoBruce · 02-01-2019, 01:21 AM

I was driving a bunch of back roads in Lancaster County tonight. Over hill and dale the temperature varied between 0-F and +3-F. That's fine but I worried about a lot of stretches of road that were wet? At 10% salt, ice melts at 20°F(-6°C), 20% salt it's 2°F(-16C). That tells me the water running off that road into the fields and streams is at least six times saltier than the ocean. That can't be good for crops or fish.
