"It's not comin out till spring!"

Mom was really surprised to find me at work. She figured I'd be at home safe in a warm bed. Out there in Sag Harbor, it's one degree. The town has shut down. Maine has been declared a disaster area, due to some parts being seventy below zero. Boston is minus four. DC and Maryland aren't much better. Adam had one of the work vans this morning. It was dead. He had to fix it with no gloves. His hands were blue. All this at the start of what looks like a cold, or a sinus infection. My poor boy. Last night I babied him with lemon sherbert for his sore throat, and lots of kisses. But at least he has a good muscle to fat ratio to keep him insulated. If I stepped outside in anything below ten degrees, I'd probably fall over dead in fifteen minutes. This is a bad time to be skinny. I'm wearing two pairs of pantyhose, thick socks, and insulated fur-lined boots, and my toes were still frozen after ten minutes outside waiting for the Metro. Mom implored me to take a cab or call someone tonight to go home. She said she'd send me money if she could. Lucky for me, it's payday.

On the news, a reporter in Tampa Florida said down there, people were shivering in the *snarl* seventy degree weather. You could almost see your breath. Hey, Florida...bite me.

I feel really horrible for anyone living in single degree weather...

I really know the feeling there...you guys are getting our usual weather! It's been warm here (y'know...20 to 30 degree highs...-20 lows)...*huggles again*

Well, it's now up to 30 ... with the sun shining ... but I could care less because it feels like 15. Thank you for your support, though, and you too stay comfy and non-frozen. That includes cats!
