Winter 2015 - boom or snow job?

Gotta leave for hockey in 10 minutes and just realized that I didn't bring my equipment in from the garage to thaw.

Brrrrr!

Pretty much every school district in the area besides my sons' are closed today. **** - I wanted to sleep in today.

On the upside, the frozen temperatures should have eliminated the stink from the gear! :D

First snow hit DC today causing paralysis with 2 - 4". Interestingly there was 2.9" of snow at the White House and 3.5" at the Capitol.

Meanwhile - only in Maryland. ...

God, that's awesome. We got 7 flippin' inches. Stupid lake-, er, reservoir-effect snow. :mad:

Two very nice African-American teens came around my place offering to dig out driveways. I politely directed them to the old racist b1tch who lives across the street. I'm sure she thought it was Obama's Commie Muslin FEMA Camp stormtroopers. WAKEUPSHEEPLE!!!111!

She probably saw the shovels and thought good, it's about time they're learning their place. "Start with the driveway, and mind the plantings boy."

With the amount of wind we had yesterday morning, I thought that today felt warmer than yesterday even though the actual air temp was colder. It's still -9F at home, -6F here in Minneapolis. Predicted highs for today are -6F and -4F, respectively, and that led to a large number of schools either delaying two hours or shutting down for the day (which I still find odd as we only ever closed for big snowfalls when I was in school, not low temps).

We've been closing the schools whenever the windchill is under -30 here for the last couple years (which in parts of MN would mean school could only run from June - October). But my wife (the one in charge of these things at our house) approves, she hates to see kids at bus stops when it's that cold. So I keep my mouth shut about "back in my day."
 
Re: Winter 2015 - boom or snow job?

Yeah, the closing for wind chills is recent. Maybe the last 5 years or so?

There was one year when I was still in school where they shut down because the buses couldn't start up, and our district is fairly reliant on the bus transportation. This was before they had the newer school buses that you can keep plugged in. Temp was something like -20 though.

Suck it up, buttercup. :p ;)

Back in the day my bag went into the trunk in October and didn't come out until March. Good for killing bacteria too! :D
