Sounds like the climate is changing.
Supposed to drop to 17 here tonight too. Schools have already closed for tomorrow.

They're not sure if it's gonna ice over yet, but they have already canceled school here too. 90%+ of public school kids ride the bus or walk to school, and the wind chill is supposed to be in the negatives.
My wife's principal has called child services many times about kids coming to school in shorts/without coats when it's freezing outside. 100,000 plus mostly poor students causes a lot of problems when the weather gets extreme like this.
Unfortunately they're out of designated "snow days", so it looks like she'll be working far into June this year.

They're predicting up to an inch of ice here. People are already losing power and I'm hoping it doesn't get very bad.
I'd hate to be a school kid here. They've missed so many days this year they will definitely have a short summer.

I wish they would just raise teacher pay to compensate them to work year round, among other things.
The kids (generation NOW) love it, they can't think far enough into to the future to realize they're losing their sunny summer days.
I've got my UPS vacation scheduled for july when it's gonna be 100+ degrees.... eye on the prize.

While its been cold, all this says is that there is above average moisture. A couple days ago we had a high of 1 and lows of -12.

Just clairifing, record snow is not record cold. They're probably just getting above average off shore flow. (aka Seattle rain) Seems this year has been a bit colder tho.

Just to clarify, I didn't think it would be snowing if it were sunny and 85. I understand that what we call snow in this context is water in a solid state.

If it was 85 in Montana on feb. 28 the world would definitely be coming to an end.

Happy we worked that out.
This may help.

Your link reminds me of the internet in the 90's..... I saw that website and literally heard the dial up modem sound in my head. I didn't read a single word on there.

Can't say that's surprising.
I thought it a little nice that a charity didn't blow all their money on a snappy website. Then again they could be like healthcare.org if it were more flash than substance.

I'm not surprised you read that trash.

The website is trash, just like I said.....
Someone too stupid to use one of dozens of free online tools to make a presentable website is just a waste of my time.
