MotherFUCK!
January 13, 2009It’s a tad chilly out today. One might even say “brisk”. Or “bracing”.
Personally I just say it’s motherfucking cold.
For those not fortunate enough to live in the upper Midwest, let me put it in perspective for you.
Did you ever see that shitacular disaster-genre film called “The Day After Tomorrow” about how global warming actually causes this spectacularly fast ice age to occur? And in the film these monster hurricanes form which suck down supercooled air from the upper atmosphere which freezes everything on contact??
Yeah. It’s like that. Only worse because Jake Gyllengall isn’t here to keep me warm.
Driving to work I saw temperatures ranging from -12 to -16 F. That’s like -24 C for you metric folk.
Cold enough to turn your pant legs stiff and brittle as soon as you step outside. Cold enough to freeze my breath into my goatee.
And this is not including windchill.
Mother.
Fuck.
Te-hee! It’s actually warmer up here… Sorry. No sympathy whatsoever. We were down in those low -20° for a month. And after the present chinook, we’ll go back down there.
Okay, I’ll quit bitching about the 24 degrees here in Boston.
Don’t you hate it when your moist breath freezes in your moustache and beard?
You don’t need Jake Gylenhaal. You just need a plane ticket. It’s warmer in other parts of the world you know?
It’s a balmy 36F/2C in Providence right now.
As to breath freezing on mustache and beard, I don’t mind it much but it doesn’t happen often.
Suppose to get really cold Thursday night going into Friday but then bounce back up.
I can somewhat deal with cold, what I cannot stand is snow and ice. As someone who walks a lot those two things make life miserable.
And as is typical, Providence has an ordinance on the books about snow removal yet the city itself is the biggest violator.
…and people ask if I miss the Twin Cities. I do, in some respects, but not this one. We’re supposed to have a high of +6F here in MA on Friday, so I sorta feel your pain. At least you don’t walk to work like I do. Now where the hell is that damned scarf?
Oh and how do you like feeling your snot freeze up inside your head when breathing? crackle crackle crackle…
yeah, cold and gettin’ colder. And if one more person working with my upcoming conference says “well, that’s why I live in Florida!” I’m going to remind them that Florida can be essentially a cesspool of bigotry, homophobia and humidity and God sends hurricane’s there first which I take as a sign so I’ll stick with Chicago thank you….)
Sorry, that was a bit harsh, but I’m still thawing out my feet.
Wow! and here I am bitching because its going to be below freezing here this week. I’ll come keep ya warm if you want
It was cold here in NC too. Me and Kindra cut the heat down to like 58-60 degrees before we go to bed and it’s usually warm enough to carry us through the night. But last night it was mighty chilly and the heat cycled on a bunch of times.
I thought Jake Gyllenhaal was a power bottom.
All those nasty-grams to Ma Nature are catching up to you.
We’re getting that tomorrow, thanks.
You know you can make The Day After Tomorrow a drinking game? Everytime someone says “Jack! Your son is on line 2!” or “Jack! The temperature just dropped 40 degrees!” or “Jack…bla bla bla…” you take a slug. Someone says that guy’s name every two minutes.
Dayum, that IS cold. Bundle up, buddy!
At least the sun is starting to stay up longer, if we can just survive a couple more months…
And here I am complaing about having to move house in 42 degree celcius weather (that’s about 107 on the old scale).
Much prefer the heat to the cold.
I just came home and turned the heat on. It’s 51 degrees here in the Houston area but expecting a light freeze. I feel for you. Really I do. A warm bear hug is sent your way.
Well, yesterday it hit 99F here, today should get up to 102F and overnight the temp didn’t fall below 82F. This is the hottest it’s been all summer though – it should’ve been like this a month ago. February is out hottest month though so it’s only going to get hotter. Wanna get sweaty with me? Then take a seat because you don’t even have to move and it’ll happen!
PS, can I pick the icicles out of your beard?
That cold air is heading my way here in Indy.
