Currently about 34 - I have a sweater and the heat on. Supposed to be in the 20's tonight. According to my Aunt in Billings their overnight low was -21.

In a word...Crappy! 24 degrees with a howling east wind (bad sign), wind chill probably around zero. We got around 5 inches of snow last night The weather radio alarm went off just before five this morning, there's a blizzard warning in effect from 1pm today until Wednesday night. They're calling for an additional 6 to 14 inches of snow by tomorrow morning, with a possibility of freezing rain & sleet. Sustained 30 mph winds, blowing & drifting snow. Having wonderful time. Wish you we're here. :P

Oh, no, Jethro, you'll love it. It's great. Wave two is just starting here in FTW. They backed off the blizzard warning to 5pm today through 7pm Wedneday. Guess they didn't want the serfs leaving work early. I'm still not real clear why they had to wake me up with their weather radio alarm before 5am to let me know there was a blizzard warning scheduled for 1pm. Probably, just because they can. It must be a government thing.

We've had quite an interesting day here in Indianapolis. A freezing rain/sleet mixture overnight left us with a magnificent coating of ice on all outdoor surfaces, be they roads, cars, power lines, feral cats...you name it. It's not particularly cold by local standards, but it was not life affirming to spend twenty minutes this morning trying to open my car door by simultaneously pulling on the handle while trying to break the door free by whacking it with my knee. Once inside, the engine started easily enough (Praise Ford, lol) but there was stil the matter of outward visibility, which meant removing all that ice from the windows. No amount of scraping was going to accomplish this task, this called for a firmer touch. Big tonka-truck yellow combo scraper-brush in hand I set about re-creating the role of Thor in one of those goofy-ass Wagner operas, wielding my hammer against the death-grip of the ice. Ponk! I could hear it echoing off my neighbors houses. Ponk! Am I hitting it too hard, could I actually break the glass? Ponk! Damn, this seems futile. Ponk! Okay, there's a little crack. Ponk! The defroster ought to start melting some of this at some point... And so it went, but I eventually made my way into work.... Coming home, the roads were terrible, I can't understand how an inch or so of freezing rain turned into six inches of slush on the roads. Even more baffling is why certain people feel the need to use the lane which hasn't been cleared to drive right next to me rather than going single file. Not pass me, mind you, if they got a big 4 x 4 and balls to match, I say let them, but these idiots just seem to want to come alongside me and just stay there. So that's how the weather is here love, any more questions?

My recommendation is to throw 5 gallons of boiling hot water on the windshield all it once. That'll do a number on it, and you won't need air conditioning in the summer. May I recommend a good brand of goggles? Although you might not need goggles if it is shatterproof glass, and all the pretty lines running through it will turn it into an artwork par excellance.

Sounds positively Palmy. Of course being in the north you don't have many, if any, Palms, but its the thought that counts. At 10:42 it is either 31 or 34 depending upon which weather station I take the reading from. I know it is getting cool because I had to turn the heat up.

I'm thinkin' an 18" vent-free gas log set in the back seat of your car will take care of your icing problems. Three or four 20 pound propane cylinders in the trunk will power it and give you better traction. Lowe's is closing out all their fireplace stuff, so we should get you some good prices. Of course, we'll have to replace a lot of your upholstery & headliner with sheet metal, but what the hell, I didn't buy that plasma cutter and pan & box brake for looks. You'll have the cosiest and most romantic car in the greater Indy area. The chicks will love it.

Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed. I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of his own weight and break into pieces.

"“Believe nothing merely because you have been told it. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings - that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide.” ~ Gautama Siddhartha — The Buddha
