I think Boston schools closed today! Or at least have a delay. That is some bananas shit, although I hate to think of people without proper coats having to be outside.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Yeah, it's not that bad here, either (currently showing 0). I mean, I was wearing my WONDERFUL DOWN COAT *and* my Norwegian sweater, but I was totally fine waiting for the bus for 10 minutes with just fleece gloves.
It's still unusually cold in my office, though.

not your mom's socks.
HPF overdid it a little with ski goggles this morning, plus hat, coat, muffler, etc. It's only 10deg and she's got very few steps total outside.
T started whistling "A man they called Jayne." I think he is WRONG. Warmth can't be quantified, or ridiculed.

My Peruvian colleague is a little stunned, although she's been here for years! We apparently have one degree currently.

My fingers didn't want to work, even wearing gloves, when I was trying to pull out the access card to get in the parking garage this morning. An under- 10 minute drive does not warm up my car in these temps. Whopping 8 at the moment.
And I need to go out and pick up groceries at some point today. Don't really want to, but out of cream, kinda a dealbreaker.

Also? My window is raining, I'm wearing 2 pairs of socks, leggings under jeans, long sleeved shirt and a sweater… and I just draped my coat over my lap and scarf over my shoulders.
Should have stayed home again.

Thrive to spite them
I got a call reminding me of my dentist appointment next week (I actually made the appointment Tuesday so I don't know why I'm getting a week early call) and the receptionist said one of their employees said at their house this morning it was -25. ACtual temperture not "feels like".
It's -6 here currently. It's supposed to jump all the way to 17F today.
I really hope my car doors aren't frozen shut.
