Hey, {appropriate term of endearment}, it's cold outside

Also, 12F is about -12C.

Technically it’s plus and minus 11.42857 repeating, but I’ve had enough pedantry for the day.

At least I’m fairly sure I could outrun an ice tsunami.

I’m still in Houston 4 hours after my plane was supposed to leave because of it. The doors were closed and we were getting the safety info when the captain cut in to say the airport was closed so we couldn’t take off after all. Meanwhile, everyone I know everywhere else in the country is helpfully texting me their in-the-70s perfect weather reports.

Come on. If you’re in a region that gets snow, there’s always an final April snowstorm. It’s obligatory.

My wife says that when she lived in upstate NY they’d get snow in May, and everyone would be surprised – even though it happened every couple of years.

Landed safely, in case anyone was waiting breathlessly.

Glad to hear it. I’m up to 5" up here in the burbs.

I refuse to shovel it.

My daughter goes to college in upstate NY so I had to get her a replacement jacket. Eddie Bauer has some good sales going on right now if anyone needs a good jacket.

We seem to be having the opposite of North America’s late-season cold. It’s 31°C here in Melb. 31! In mid-April!

Nah, climate change can’t possibly be affecting global weather patterns. :roll_eyes:
