Don't you wish you had a beach day today?

TCS was at the beach today but he was working. He said it was very windy there and the surf was high. Not relaxing like your picture.

Yea, I told my students this morning about it and to pls dress warm tmw (if schools don't close).

It's likely to-- there's no school here today because of this.

Multi-pane window. I just snapped the largest frozen window, which this happened to be.

I live in ottawa ontario canada and we rarely close schools for weather and we cancelled all busses and closed our cheer gym which never happens either lol

Was -38 Celcius which is -36F which unfortunately is common in the winter...these are the days I flat out refuse to go outside in..it was like that on NYE and I only left the house for some groceries and dinner with my mom. Friend wanted to go out clubbing and i said NO WAY am I freezing my arse off to wait in line to get into a club..no thanks

Now you're getting me thinking about marching to the store for some eggs.

My son-in-law's manufacturing place of work was closed for those ice storm days and nights last week. They usually work 24/7 shifts. They had to close for two reasons. One, it was too dangerous for workers to commute. Two, the area power company forces them to shut down to minimal sustaining power because the power company channels all the electricity to residential warming. Whenever there might be a strain on the electrical grid they (his work) gets cut off.

Hmmmm better look at the MODOT website, they are telling everyone to stay off the roads again ( snowstorm/snowshowers with sleet ) up to 10" now.

You mean 6-10 inches of snow, in addition to what is already there?

dont see whats the commotion is about milk and bread?

During one of our last hurricanes, a newscaster pointed out that all the bread, milk, and eggs were gone in the stores. The other newscaster said that if we lost electricity for a week again it would be critical for us to be able to have French toast.

It was funnier when they said it. But I think of that every snowstorm and hurricane when I truly have no bread in the house and there is none on the shelves.
