Houston got painted with 3" of snow this morning. Rare stuff down here.

They say it was Twain but there's no evidence that it's a quote by him.

However, from my personal experience I can say that it is true. One day in the summer I was leaving my office in SF and the temperature was 53 degrees F. When I got home to Walnut Creek, 30 miles to the East and on the other side of the Berkeley hills that separate the marine layer from the towns to the east, it was 105 degrees F. I could watch the temp reading on my car go up 2 degrees per mile. I went from freezing my ass off to jumping into the pool in one hour.

When my son first went to Merchant Marines in SF, he asked about the weather. Immediately, "The coldest winter I ever spent. . . " popped into my head

its 18 degrees out. cold for us in the South. i like cool but not crazy cold, it hasn't been above freezing for the last 3 days.

It is -11 F-scking degrees outside as I write this. For the first time in 20 years of owning Chez Vreihen, the bathroom sink cold water faucet and toilet are frozen. Probably half my fault, because I skipped my diuretics last night and wasn't flushing the toilet hourly like every other night.....

Cold as shit! -6 over night and now 21 degrees but it feels much colder than that.

Snowed for the drive home from the office yesterday, but seemed fine. Didn't get a lick of anything at our place which is strange being further north and in somewhat higher elevation.

Drive in this morning was completely clear until I got maybe 10 minutes, if that, to the office. Turned into a ice skating rink. Made for lots of fun in the old two-wheel-drive Ford truck with no weight in the bed...

Down to zero F-scking degrees outside right now at 4:38 AM, the third night in a row that it has hit 0 F or lower.....

Was in single negative digits for morning commutes past couple of days. Reminds me of being a kid and being able to skate of local ponds. But last weekend it in the 40's and 20's in the overnight. Does not make for safe ice. Used to do Ice Auto X with the Boston chapter back in late 90's and ponds were always frozen good and solid.
