I Blame Canada For This...

Brrr...
    Good God, man!

    I suppose, on the plus side, it "feels like" a balmy minus three degrees, and not, say, minus six.  Yes.  Minus six would be too damn cold.  But, minus three?  I can handle that.  That's almost beach weather. 

    As you can see, the conditions are considered "fair."  In other words, they could be worse.  Of course, that doesn't help.  After all, waking up to this cold is a pretty good reason to start drinking whiskey for breakfast. 

    Moreover, I live in the "South."  Sure, it may be South Milwaukee, but it's at least south of something, and in my world, things are always warmer in the South.  After all, this isn't North Dakota where people step outside screaming and explode like saplings in the cold. 
   
    Oh well...  At least I can see ten miles.  And, I figure ten miles south of here, it probably feels like zero degrees --in other words, it feels like nothing.  I would like that.  It's not too hot; it's not too cold.  It's nothing. 

    Ack!  It's going to be a long winter...

  1. Well, heck, it's mid-morning here and a comparative balmy 28F degrees outside.   It even feels warmer than yesterday, being the winds aren't so bad.   Happy full moon, anyway:)  -- Robin

  4. Minus three? Ha! It's minus fifteen here. Of course, that's in Celcius, which, if you do the conversion math is...lessee, carry the three...

    Never mind.

  6. Does it still count as "South" when it's "South Milwaukee?"  Looks a bit north to me..

    Seriously... if two inches of snow fall in the south, schools close for several days in a row.

    Hurricane? No sweat.. get your tail back in class and try not to get wet sitting under that tarp. We'll get us another roof by midterm.

    But snow?

    we don't DO snow.

  7.  It's 70 degrees here, and I'm not being smug.  It doesnt look or feel a thing like Christmas.  Tina http://journals.aol.com/onemoretina/Ridealongwithme

  8. At 39 degrees, we consider ourselves to be in the middle of a heat wave.  Just two days ago it was snot-freezing cold.  Today most of the snow is melted, beautiful!

  9. Well, what a coincidence!  I happen to be having a glass of whiskey for breakfast right now {{raising my glass to you}}; of course, it's mostly lemon and honey, but there's a little whiskey in there too.  Stay warm!
