Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
9:30, the sun's out--and it's 3 degrees outside. This isn't Minnesota, dammit!
It's nice when I know things about things.
I see your 3 degrees, Connie and raise you (drop you?) by -5. I'm not even poking my nose outside unless absolutely necessary.
I had three deliveries due from Amazon yesterday. The one that was coming from AZ has notified me that it will be late due to weather conditions. The two from IL still say they are on schedule and will be delivered on time, yesterday, by 8pm. Ummmmmm...not so much.
A light drizzle of sleet is starting here. if it keeps up, and the temps drop much, we will have have sheets of ice for roads. no snow, but death trap roads.
We got nada.
I am perfectly happy to lose out on WTF Cold! poker.
Of course, with it being witch tit cold, the snow isn't melting off the trees, and it's spectacularly gorgeous glittering in the sunlight.
And being the famous dry Utah snow, threads of the stuff crawl across the pavement as it's blown around. I love watching it catch in the breeze and sparkle--from inside, where it's kind of warm as I stand in the sunbeam coming in through the window!
edit: Good God, I just checked the weather bug, it's gone down 2 degrees! We're at 1 degree!
Hah, Connie - I just checked and we have gotten warmer...we are up to 3 degrees! The snow is piled up outside and I can only imagine the ice on the roads. I have a meeting tonight and just asked for a ride from a friend with a 4x4. I still need to put my winter tires on my car. Maybe this weekend.
I don't know if anyone would be interested in this, but I just recently got into Zombies, Run!, which is a smartphone app that incentivizes exercise by way of an ongoing storyline and periodic zombie chases. I wrote up a bigass overview on my DWJ: [link]
