    It's 18 degrees here in Oklahoma and we got a fair amount of sleet that should melt by Tuesday

    This has been your Oklahoma update

    66 Fahrenheit this morning in Houston. It was 75 by noon on Saturday, but we're expecting rain today so it probably won't get much higher.

    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.

    It's cold here and I don't wanna go outside, wah wah wah

    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

    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

    Airplane fuel never freezes when @DaMoonRulz pumps it because it knows better than to mess with a frost giant.

    if there isn't enough fuel or it isn't mixed with kerosine yeah it can freeze

    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.

    that's a great picture of the Dragon's Rest @manishtushu.

    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!

    It is quite cold here today. As a result I had to dig my winter wear out from the box under the storage bins and blankets in the closet.

    So lame.

    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..

    I think I'm just going to set myself on fire.

    I feel this is a reasonable response to this weather.

    I have two things saved on my weather.com page.

    Where I live, and San Diego.

    Fuck you San Diego.

    I seriously considered skipping one of my classes today because it's all the way across campus from all my other classes

    Like sat and weighed out my options and eventually decided it was worth it and then really regretted my choice

  • mrpakumrpaku Registered User regular
    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.

    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 am generally capable of growing a glorious beard.

    Unfortunately the Navy insists on having it shaved and ignores its incredible value.
