Williamsburg,Virginia is hushed and white with the delicate down of the sky. Nature's symphony has fallen silent and even the ever-present cacophony of man does not carry far.
and also it's fucking inconvenient when you were planning on going to school tomorrow to get some shit done but now those wieners decided to close
Apparently the airport forgot it can get slightly cold in Canada during the winter and the fuel was frozen or something? Awesome
Where in Canada and what was the temperature? I am dubious.
Toronto, about -28C. Said they were having trouble fueling the planes, either because the equipment was seizing up or the fuel wasn't pumpable. But you'd think they would have these things figured out. Ended up leaving almost 4 hours late

The fuel itself should be pumpable. I forget the exact freeze point but it's closer to -45 C. If it was a truck, those can have a hard to getting started if they're not plugged in or just left running for a few days. That's what we're doing in Lansing; normally we plug the trucks in, but that fuse keeps blowing so we just had the trucks run 24/7 for the past three days, otherwise they wouldn't turn back on.
Still out of power in Barrow County after 12 hours. Got a second wind when I discovered my laptop powers USB ports in sleep mode. Should last until they get the power back on.
I bought a bunch of "winter" clothes for when I get to experience real cold in a few weeks for EastPAX. I'm pretty excited, though everyone tells me I'm going to die within a few minutes being in sub-freezing temps.
In other weather-related news, I have been invited to a pool party this weekend. :P

We got a nice dose of Utterly Perfect For Mid-February today (though in this city that basically means "whatever the temperature, there's no wind"). This probably means we're doomed tomorrow or Friday.
Gotta love what a few freeze/thaw/freeze cycles do to footing on sidewalks though. I'm pretty sure every step downtown involved the ground trying to murder peoples' ankles..
it's been getting gradually nicer in Colorado this week, which was apparently only a brief reprieve since we're supposed to get just cluster-fucked with snow over the weekend (12-18 inches I think was the prediction)
here's hoping it waits to drop until after I get off work and run by the grocery store, or tonight's commute is going to suuuuuck
The combination of very cold weather, an old key, and a nearly broken locking mechanism led to my key to the front door of where I work breaking in the keyhole when I tried to unlock the door this morning. Thankfully, a locksmith is just up the road but that led to an interesting start to my workday.
Not quite as bad as the lock but I also discovered that a few ceiling panels above my coworker's desk had also fallen down yet somehow missed hitting anything important. Chiefly her brand new computer.
Oh, and my coworker couldn't make it into work today because she got stuck in her driveway when she tried to drive through the snow at the end of the driveway built up by plows going by. She said she had to stop for a car going by that she couldn't see due to snowbanks, lost all of her momentum, and got stuck.
At least it's nice and sunny outside even though it's -15 degrees.
If you did not shovel out your parking spot and later in the day you take the spot of someone who did it is a scientific fact that you are going to hell.

I'd say it ended up getting cold here as the day went on, but I'm pretty sure I'd be punched in the face when I get to boston for pax.
I was terribly ill prepared for my run this morning, didn't wear gloves...
I can feel myself becoming weaker with every day I pass in this place

It was a gorgeous day when we visited, but then these huge fucking clouds rolled through and it was just downpour.
And he's obviously taking the picture from Bag's End, dammit. He's facing the tavern and the Mill!

I feel this is a reasonable response to this weather.
Where I live, and San Diego.
Fuck you San Diego.
with snow and sleet before that, but still! 40!
Like sat and weighed out my options and eventually decided it was worth it and then really regretted my choice

yup
it's warmer in alaska than it is in the eastern united states
In fact, Anchorage did not drop below 0 degrees F for the entirety of 2014. That has never happened before as long as we've been recording it.
I have standards.
