  • Same as every gay bar I've ever entered.

  • We lost power for about 12 hours which is nothing, all things considered, and we've got the generator/transfer-switch so it was really only out for 4 hours because I didn't feel like setting it all up

  • Side benefit of all the late snow, the ability to snowshoe with the kids.  Got andrew out for a little walk in the woods this afternoon.

Very weird weather last night.  It started out as snow, turned to rain, but cold enough to still be freezing with the wind chill, so it just sort turned into...?  I don't know. I didn't step outside.  Pure black ice weather.  My bursitis was acting up just thinking about it.

It's been somewhat bananas here, with temps either being way above normal with precipitation (earlier in the week 45 and rainy) and now a run of single-digit frigid cold with wind chills deep into the negatives digits.  There's virtually no snow left at this point and the skiing is shit from all the rain so it's pretty hard to enjoy winter when it's like that.  

Next you're going to tell me climate change is real.

The snowmageddon has commenced here in southern NH.  It started around 7am and has picked up significantly in the last hour.  Winds are steady and not insane, here's to hoping they stay that way and the power stays on.  Brisket production has already been delayed one day to allow weather to clear and avoid an interrupted cook.

Bear in mind that the yard was 100% bare of snow yesterday.

Gah.  Just went out and cleaned off part of the Fit so I could plug in its trickle charger.

Yep, that's some fuckin' snow.  Biting arctic wind as well.  It's pretty awful outside. 

I don't miss that at all!

It never crested 0° C yesterday -- was probably safer walking yesterday than it will be today, since nothing melted and refroze into black ice.  Just sublimated.  Today I will be very very careful when I go on my walk (shortly -- peak sun -- as black ice happens to form in the shadows of the apartment buildings around here).

Currently a chilly 64 degrees in scenic B'town.  We might get 6-12" of snow by the end of the week.  I rate that a solid New England/10.

^^^ Yup, it was 55F at 5AM so I said fuck it and rode my bike to work only to be greeted with a winter storm warning (for Friday).  It is 65 and sunny currently.  Tonight it is supposed to drop to 19.

This shit is bananas.  B A N A N A S.  

Funny, there was frost on all the cars this morning in sunny Silicon Valley

The ride home was painful.  Mother Nature decided that she gave no fucks about the forecast, which had called for strong but not insane winds shifting from WSW to NNE later in the day.  When I left work at 4:15 for the 20 mile ride, it was ripping WSW at 19MPH with gusts up to 32MPH.  By the time I got home the temps had dropped into the mid 40s and I was thanking the good lord that I remembered arm warmers.

I had to scrape a 16th of an inch of ice off of my windshield this morning.  

Still, remembering the 6 month Alaskan winters, I just think how lucky I am to only need to do that 2 - 3 times a year. 

Ouch Nate! I take it you had to ride into that?

Yup, my commute home was pretty much dead into it.  Strava was fun to look at.

Fun to pull nearly 270W average for an hour plus to go 17mph.
