Today in Idaho it's -16 degrees (that's almost -27 in Celcius) and it's been like this for the better part of a week.
Yesterday it stayed in the negatives all day. We had a 'high' of -2...
That's just plain wrong on so many levels...
...especially for a guy like me who travels for a living.
Schools are shut down today due to extreme temperatures. Roads are closed or being plowed heavily to let commuters through.
Some people can't get into their own cars because the doors and locks have frozen shut...
But the show goes on, even in conditions like this. I'm working on a trip into Utah or Wyoming, where I am hoping the frigidness is slightly less frigid...
But I'm not getting my hopes up.
(Meanwhile in California, I have friends posting "oh no, it's 44! SO COLD!" on Facebook.)
How is the weather where you're at? Do you live in a climate that goes below zero and camps out for a few weeks? How do you manage?
Meanwhile, in parts of Australia, it's getting close to hitting 120 degrees, and fires are burning out of control... Maybe the mayans were correct and this is the end of the world? Maybe it's not instantaneous, and will take a few months to spiral into madness?
Oh well. Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work I go...
