I agree: this weather is completely rendering the term "sweater puppies" moot.

46, clear and calm in Palo Alto. Or so says Google, I haven't looked outside yet.

I wouldn't mind the wind so much if it didn't dry everything out. The heat? 60's and 70's in January is brag-worthy. 80's and 90's? Blech!

CP's brother has been living in -20° conditions in Anchorage this winter. Currently he's on temporary assignment in Guam. He misses his family, but I'm thinking he doesn't miss the weather.

Yeah, although a wet sweater contest would not have quite the same cache so it goes both ways.

It has been a ridiculously cold winter thus far here in the Midwest.

Overcast and 28 F; we're due for some snow today.

The arctic blast that is hitting almost the entire country except CA and the SW is coming tomorrow and we'll be heading to highs only into the teens with lows below zero F.

Up here both San Francisco and Oakland set their record highs for January 13 IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.

Because even the cooled down termperature at 12:01 this morning from yesterday's highs were higher than the record for the day.

I hate the wind. It stresses me out. I like the after-affects (clear skies, etc.) but bad memories of brush fires and burning embers landing on our old wood shake roof when I was a wee lad (of ToriBear and PoloMadz age) just don't help.
