I'm imagining your eyebrows crystalizing as you walk to work...

My eyelashes were frozen together on the outside edges. For real.

I've made a pact not to leave the house until April.

I want to be independently wealthy so that from November to March, I don't have to go outside unless I want to.

F*ck all that. If I were independently wealthy, I'd be on a beach from November to March, with a frou-frou cocktail and a cabana boy.

=D

Well, there's that!

Yo have WAY more snow than we do! :P

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2009-12-10 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. This climate change shit is awesome.

*sympathy* *sympathy*

Ironically you have to come north to be warmer and have less snow. I'm not sure what is up with that.

I know, right? Anyone who says global climate change isn't a reality is delusional. *sigh*

Come north to the balmy north... eh, weird.

Although we aren't as cold as people tend to think we are, even under normal conditions. We just have a really wide range of temperatures to chose from (+40 to -40 Celcius).


You still have my sympathy. Winter ought to be banned.

Winter ought to be banned.

Or at least left to the people who enjoy it! If only we could all be nomadic and travel to the climate we preferred when the seasons changed.

I would do that. Hibernate or migrate... the wildlife has the right idea.

[identity profile] slinka.livejournal.com 2009-12-10 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Totally agree with this. The body just does not want to go on with business as usual in winter. We should all just load up on berries and fat and sleep all winter. Not even joking. :)

Your ideas intrigue me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

That looks like me this morning going out to my car. When I saw ZERO on my weather app this morning, I didn't know what to think...but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be!

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2009-12-10 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
It really helped that the wind isn't bad at all. If we had our usual 10 to 15 mph gusts, can you imagine? brrrr

Sometimes I miss Kansas.

This is not one of those times.

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2009-12-10 03:41 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I imagine not. If you have some gorgeous AZ photos still to post, today would be a really good day for that. Just sayin'.

Today's a bit cloudy, but it should clear up this weekend.

Well, I did ask him for a sunny photo...

It might be a repeat, but it's a glorious repeat. Thank you! Looks like heaven.

I was going to post that it was 37 here this morning when I read your post but then I saw the projected high for the day was 63, so it didn't seem kind. :) Huge desert temperature swings for the win!

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2009-12-10 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
We're up to 24F right now. That's almost the same amount of swing (numbers-wise) as you're getting. You've got a twenty-six degree change and we're sitting at a twenty-four degree difference. But really, once it's below 30 degrees, it doesn't matter. It's just fucking cold.

Wow. We were exactly the same kind of pissed off this morning. I went outside to get the mail, thought two coats would work, and about 2 seconds later, completely regretted my decision not to wrap myself in a comforter :(

When you're in New York, you might actually get milder winters. How nutty is that?

And in a fabulous instance of serendipity, I get to eat some home-made pecan pie this evening. Bliss!
