I like that.

sounds better than referring to my efforts to get my truck to drive straight as, "conversion therapy."

I hate talking about the weather, but I don't ever recall seeing forecasted temps as low as they will be in the north central US tonight/tomorrow.

-30 degrees in Minneapolis tomorrow night.

Yeah like -60 wind chill tonight and into the morning. About 20 degrees below the warning temp for wind chill.

5 F here tonight. Ugly windchill to go with it.

Wind chill of -5 in Central Kansas tomorrow morning.

Then a high of close to 60 on Saturday and Sunday.

KANSAS!

KANSAS!

i saw that...nothing to do but chuckle

Every school in the whole county (Erie County (ie Buffalo, suburbs, rural)) is closed Wednesday and Thursday for cold. High of 1F tomorrow. With wind and lake effect snow (ie a couple of inches of snow an hour in certain bands), not a good time for kids waiting for the school buses before the sun even comes up.

Every school in the area closed here, as well.

Except for KU. You know, the biggest campus with the most walkers.

I feel cold.

not to mention the hill and stairs

i took a discretionary day

I remember going out in -5F weather in Pittsburgh, climbing them hills around the Univ, huffing and puffing, and my teeth hurt from the cold! I don't think it ever got that cold during my time at KU. Glad not to have to put up with extreme weather!! Stay warm and safe, people.

-3 without the windchill this morning

-13 with the north wind...flipping sweet

5F and blowing snow here. working from home today.

Bunch of poosies!
It was -19 with a -52 windchill when I left for work.
At the moment it's -20 with a -47 windchill.

They cancelled school today in my kids' district here in KC...so here I am at the office, of course.

I thought only people without children did that. All my co-workers with kids are out all the time for school cancellations. It's really the only benefit to having children that appeals to me.

The kids running around (particularly when unable to be kicked out of the dang house) makes working at home tougher, not easier.

The kids also, sadly or hilariously depending on your POV, have no concept that these snow days are biting into their summer. We can tell them this ten times, but they'll still rejoice as if they're getting a free day off.

Snow days aren't built into the school schedule?
