I'm cold.

Me too! It's 40 damn degrees outside! This should not be a thing where either of us live!
Celcius.
Yesterday's high was 72, the overnight low for Saturday-Sunday is 28
It's not 40 where I live, but it's down to 21 on Mauna Kea! The winds are blowing from that direction so the breeze here is cold even though the overall temperature doesn't reflect it.

Weather like this makes me really nervous about driving home. These people see a few flakes and treat it like the end times, the roads turn into Mad Max shit.

Heh, It's less than 2 miles to get home.
But the route passes the main entrance of a community college.
That entrance intersection claimed the life of my previous car.
Meh. Sit in your car with the heat on high for ten minutes then run the wipers. You aren’t going to get significant ice accumulation down there.
Store discount club cards. Don't screw up the mag strips or chips on your credit cards.

I just went and found a magazine somewhere in the station to sweep off the snow. Steinman was right, after all, it was just a 6-inch pile of fluff with no ice underneath it. My youth in Colorado made me expect to always find an inch thick layer of ice below a 6in pile of snow, but this is Texas.[DOUBLEPOST=1512698415,1512698385][/DOUBLEPOST]It's still just pretty neat because it has literally never snowed like this since I moved here.[DOUBLEPOST=1512698907][/DOUBLEPOST]Made it home safe. The streets were understandably near deserted.
There are kids across the way making a Snowman on the lawn. Unheard of. My cat is absolutely flabbergasted.

It's officially the Endtimes.[DOUBLEPOST=1512712031,1512711567][/DOUBLEPOST]It was too good to last in BCS though. It's already back up above freezing and it's all melting away.
Each time we get a hurricane, we get snow that year too.
That's what the peanut butter is for. Smear it on top of your windscreen, and DOomweasels will come and heat up the windshield while eating.
Then, you just need to get rid of the Doomweasels.
Ha! Good luck with that.
All the pine trees looked like confections. And there are at least a million pine trees on my commute in the morning. The clouds hung low and were a dark blue. Really pretty morning. Luckily the roads did not freeze.
It's easy enough. Just organize a Scampering.

Well, part of one.
A minor one.
OK, that's how we get peanut butter in our house.
Well, that is a snow.....thing.

It was PROBABLY a snowman last night, around 9pm (it's what I saw the kids making when I came home) but I didn't leave for work until 10 am this morning and everything was melting like crazy already
Letting the dog out this morning.
