You're right, it's blowing right up my barrel.
Don't you have, like, a Twitter?
YES. And you're reading it now! :)

I felt so bad for the fruit stand guy. I had this guilty fit where i couldn't look at him as i walked past, but why would I want a frozen banana in this weather?
Maybe you want a regular banana later?
YES!
(Apologies to Mitch Hedberg, R.I.P.)
Yawn. It's zero here this morning. The fucking pipe behind my shower wall hasn't thawed yet. I'm blow drying my bathroom.
Sometimes I wonder about you epicures out East there.
In [weak] defense, it was 70-ish degrees on the East Coast like, 7 days ago. And there was no wind!
Be careful that your cow doesn't knock over your heater. Fires and all.
Oh, don't you worry. The cow is under the covers with me.
UPDATE: PENNY LANE AT THE TD BANK @ 20TH & PARK IS NOT WORKING. I REPEAT: PENNY LANE IS DOWN!!!

UPDATE: Penny is fine now. And I won the prize! ($42.22 guessed. $41.88 actual.)
It's 18° here, the wind is blowing about 30mph and I'm shoveling a foot of snow. Remind me again why PA is #1?
Oh, man up and stop bitching. I walked a mile to work today in this supposedly "harsh" weather. Even broke a sweat.
Me, too! (The sweat part, not the mile part. I probably walked about half that.)
The trick is to layer: first sheet, then down comforter, and that'll pretty much do it. Unfortunately, the bed's not on wheels so I did long underwear etc etc.
Long underwear, for the win.
Polypropylene base layer!
Fleece blanket; blanket; quilt.
My dog, who generally resists clothing, calmly sat and allowed me to stuff her into a dog sweatshirt (with hood) after hearing Soterious Johnson say "22 degrees." Even she wasn't up to a naked Morning Pee in the Park today.
Report from state #8.
5 Degrees.
-17 with windchill.
From this week forward, the toes on my left foot will be in this weird sort of frostbite until mid April. (due to an unfortunate, liquor aided overestimation of how long I could stay on the mountain one year in Colorado.)
SAME AS MINE.
(though swap Tyrol for Colorado)
IT'S DAYS LIKE THIS WHEN I LOVE WORKING UNDER A GIANT SKYLIGHT SO ALL THE HOT AIR IN MY OFFICE GETS DISSIPATED AND MY GOD I'M INSIDE AND I CAN'T FEEL MY TOES TRUE I HAVE POOR CIRCULATION IN MY FEET BUT I SHOULD STILL BE ABLE TO FEEL THEM.
Ooo, a space heater!
Yes, despite growing up with wood fireplaces and chopping wood in the winter, I still manage to bitch about the cold.
Yawn.

Well? Why stop now? Where are our Flin Flon commenters?
Well, it ain't Flin Flon, just the Greater Toronto Area, but still...luckily the fierce wind (so fierce: the dog was at the living room window barking at it last night) keeps the driveway clear of snow.
Currently in Orangeville

-23 C here, with windchill it's -35. Tomorrow is going to be lovely, warnings in effect for windchills around -40 to -45, same as Flin Flon (10 hour drive from here.) If you convert it to 'Murrcan all it says is "Pretty Fucking Cold."
Is it too early for an editorial cartoon in the New York Post showing an under-dressed, bearded hippie, with his teeth chattering, saying, "B-b-but what about global warming?" - 'cause those cartoons never get old.

Actually, that one's kinda funny? I mean, it's out of date, and I'm sure we have many more of these to come during the winter cold snaps, but this one rings true: Copenhagen, in the winter?
well, it's 66 degrees here in nz. which is pretty shit for nearly christmas time, but you know, come on over.
