I'm glad I don't have to go out in this weather for a commute (even by car), but OTOH, the temperature is 4 right now, and this built-in-1920 house is nowhere near what the thermostat says. But I have a nice warm fleece panda hat on and a wool blanket. The only real issue is my feet -- even with wool socks, they're pretty cold. I'm thinking heating pad.
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

It isn't as bad as I expected- it was 4 this morning. So not as much colder than usual as other places. We seem to only have public transit delays going home, mostly because of cars driving for the weather rather than the buses themselves. People get so grumpy about it, but I still would rather be on the bus than driving.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
It's 11 / feels like 6 here. Too cold. Need more degrees.
I was also wondering about ita.

It's 5F here, which is a few degrees warmer than predicted. Schools were delayed by 2 hours in our town.

The only good thing about temperatures that cold, at least in low humidity Utah, is that all the free-ranging moisture has already been stunned and dropped to the ground, so I don't have to scrape my windshield. It's been warmish around here, so there's moisture in the air from everything melting, then it got cold and plummeted to my windows.

It's zoomed up to 17 here in DC, but my DH tells me that the heat pump at home is not working, boo! (We have radiators on one of three floors, so we are not completely without heat.) Oh, well, we wanted to consult with our HVAC person anyway to ask about what our options are if we renovate this Spring.

Stay warm, people! We have the opposite problem at our place. Yesterday it was high 70s, the day before it was 80. This morning, I dressed the kids in t-shirts and shorts (which was a little under-dressed for the 60 degree walk to school).
