F*ck you Mother Nature!

[fireheart]

Does anyone else here want to see Irv getting dominated by Frosty wearing leather and a whip?

[the_std]

I am giving Mother Nature a mighty "fuck you" today. It was -45 Celsius with the windchill this morning. Like hell I'm getting out of my warm, toasty bed to go stand in the cold for 15 minutes to catch two different buses! Not happening.

This is both sad and scary at the same time.

Lesse here.....

Windchill advisory until midnight tonight. It was well under -20 last night, and it hasn't warmed up at all yet today.

It somehow managed to get up to 35 degrees or so on Saturday during the day. You can imagine....ice everywhere now!

To add insult to injury, all 4 of my car doors were frozen shut. I nearly broke the handle off the passenger side door to get in. The driver's side front door is so beyond frozen that the handle won't budge. The windows are beyond frozen shut.

And more snow on the way tomorrow.

I. Am. Out. Of Here. I swore I'd be out of Wisconsin years ago!

[Jester]

I totally understand, y'all.

Why, just Friday, I had to put on a sweatshirt. Brrrrr!

That's it....who thinks they can throw ice balls all the way to Florida? Anyone?

Ok, something more realistic. Pelting Jester with frozen cheese! Frozen stinky cheese. And last year's frozen nasty trout.

[Jester]

Oh, not just all the way to Florida.....you have to get it to Florida, all the way down Florida, and THEN 120 miles down the Keys to the very Southernmost City.

Good freakin' luck with that!

[the_std]

I had a dream last night that I came to visit you, Jester! Ahhh, the warm, relaxed and, above all, alcoholic life of the Keys! 'Twas pure bliss!... Until I woke up to a thermometer that said -49.

[Jester]

Until I woke up to a thermometer that said -49.

My FREEZER is shivering at that thought!

[the_std]

Sorry, that's -49 Celsius, which is -56 Fahrenheit. Did you know that the human eyeball freezes at -60 Celsius? Fun times!

[Jester]

Celsius, Fahrenheit, doesn't matter. My freezer is still huddled in the corner, whimpering in terror and trembling convulsively. It is, after all, a tropical freezer.

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

Today it felt like it was -60 celsius, with winds gusting to almost 50 mph. (When I checked the Weather Channel just before heading to work, it said the winds were gusting up to 46 mph).

Yesterday it was in the 40s and raining much of the day, melting some of the snow.

Not to worry, Mother Nature will make up for the lost snow tomorrow night, with 3 to 5 inches forecast. Ought to make for an interesting commute to work Wednesday morning.

Sorry, that's -49 Celsius, which is -56 Fahrenheit. Did you know that the human eyeball freezes at -60 Celsius? Fun times!

Now that's just fucking cold.

I bet if you were to spit into the air and try to catch it in your mouth, it'd be a little ice crystal by the time it hit the back of your throat.

Enjoy the thought, kids.

[AdminAssistant]

I had to go out today to run by the library (dropped off one of my books with their books...oops!) and buy toilet paper. It was 10 F with 30 mph winds.

*shudder*

Not as bad as the folks further north, but it is NOT supposed to be this cold this early. I fear this winter.

[PuckishOne]

Okay...I distinctly recall pining for snow, not ICE. (sigh) We set a record low yesterday (19F) and are supposed to break that sometime around Friday (with winds, of course - it's always the freakin' wind that gets me).

I know it's not Wisconsin cold, but it's really, really, really cold for Seattle. And we can't even play hockey outdoors here. Sucks. If this keeps up I'll have to go live in Jester's freezer (since it's tropical and all).

I HATE Wisconsin winters.

I HATE WISCONSIN WINTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jester]

I suppose it would be inappropriate for me to point out that I was working last night in shorts and a t-shirt.

On the outdoors roof deck.

Yeah, that would be inappropriate.
