To paraphrase Dr. Evil, "It's frickin' cold up here!" In the last couple of weeks, us poor shleps in the northern Detroit 'burbs have had high temps of 10 F. Altogether we probably have about 2 feet of snow. It has not gone above 25 degrees since mid-December.
Am I whining? You bet your sweet I am!!!

Normal is a relative term. For some reason it is not a term my relatives use to describe me.

According to WU, this is, like, so totally normal for this time of year here, dude. No change in sight for the next few days either, darn it; some rain would be nice.

Where now the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing? Where is the hand on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing? Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing? They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow Who shall gather the smoke of the dead wood burning Or behold the flowing years from the Sea returning? ~ J.R.R. Tolkien

Typical winter time weather in the Alps !

Well, my day's shot. There's a 20 car pileup on the Whitemud freeway, which is my way home. Two Trasfers jacknifed and all. Now I've got to try the loto that is the Yellowhead to get home.
YAR!!!

"I am a Canadian by birth, but I am a Highlander by blood and feel under an obligation to do all I can for the sake of the Highlanders and their literature.... I have never yet spoken a word of English to any of my children. They can speak as much English as they like to others, but when they talk to me they have to talk in Gaelic."

... currently it's kinda overcast, sun trying to peek thru and it's also quite muggy, temp' probably around 20 degrees Celsius or so. Had a nice drop of rain over the last 24 hours, first decent rain for almost a month, and very welcome it is, too, cos the pasture was certainly getting on the short side, and milk production was starting to take a dip.

8.8 degrees F and in my world that is cold with about 3 inches of snow on the ground. The weather has been really cold and snowy this week, school has been cancelled 3 days.
Well here in the desert it is always more warm than it is in most places! It has been in the mid 40s at night and in the mid 60's during the day. Nice weather for us as we are used to tripple digit temps.
07.30 on Saturday morning, and the sun is so intense it kinda makes my eyes hurt.
Colder then you could imagine last night, I think with the fan going and all it got down to about 75F. BRRRRRR! I know at one point I thought momentarily about covering up with a sheet but then drifted back to sleep.
Well, more of the same expected until about April or so.

Getting a bit warmer, no more icy roads but still freezing at night over here.
