"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

We've worked our way up to 11 (windchill -6) from 6 and it's supposed to reach a toasty 22. It is officially Too Damn Cold for Georgia. (A weather station in the mountains recorded -6.)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Our high is supposed to be 13, which is about 15 or 16 degrees warmer than yesterday, so I'll take the win. I didn't leave the house yesterday because I am a wimp, but I am going to the damn gym today as soon as it gets closer to double digits. I suppose I should check my tire pressure.

Also going to bake some cookies while I wait for some gross medical article to edit.

Ironically, we're above freezing. We were 12C (about 54F) when I went to bed. But it's not expecting to last long.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

We were at a balmy 11 when I woke up.

We were still at -12 this morning, now up to a balmy -8.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

If I tell you all the temperature here it will sound like I'm taunting, so I won't. But we do have wildfires in Humboldt County, which is ridiculous in January.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sorry for the cat news, Fred.

I couldn't get my car out and my train was late but at least I made it to work. It's -4 now but it's gonna get up to 5 today! It's 59 in the office but I have warm clothes and a space-heater.

Friday they're predicting rain, and it'll be above freezing for a few days.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

My mud room was 40 degrees - there was frost around the window and the door. I need to get laundry going and rerun the dishwasher to keep the water moving so the pipes don't freeze. I might make the girl take a nice, warm shower.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Thanks for the thoughts.

DC was down to 5 this morning. It's up to 12 with a wind chill of -3. In other words, standard DC -- on the edge of things. Bad enough to be bad, but hard to complain because so many people have it so much worse.
