Yep. My wife always laughs when I'm out shoveling the driveway in a hoodie, shorts and sneakers when it's 30 degrees.
Granted, this morning was f'ing cold. When I started the car, the thermometer said -8. It's cold enough you can't breath through your mouth because your throat freezes, but you can't breath through your nose because your snot freezes. When your snot freezes, it makes your eyes water, but because it's so cold your tears try to freeze after you blink.
At least it's a dry heat, right?

They are saying that a possible tornado damaged a house a mile or so down the street from mine a few hours ago... Should be interesting to see how my neighborhood fared... Now it is all bright and sunny out again! What a day.

There's something that always seems unusual about having snow melting when the air temp is 10 degrees.
I have to laugh at the crazy out-of-state people who sun-burn themselves when skiing on a day like today. "But it's winter time and it's too cold to sun-burn."

shining like a lighter...
Well the great big scary blizzard of '09 was not so much - prob about 4" here. Just a winter storm not even as bad as previous week. Least its not that heavy gloppy crap. I think south MI got worse off...Wonder how our resident Flo-ridas are surviving winter's debut...

It's cold and icy here today. I made it into the office (the interstates are fine) but the surface streets are nothing but ice. My office is at the top of a hill, many people have tried and failed to summit it. I didn't even bother. I parked in the lot of an office complex at the bottom of the hill and walked the rest of the way.

We're getting a little dusting today, but nothing to write home about.

Capt can probably attest to this but they were projecting a dusting in Columbia, SC last night. I'm sure all the stores are sold out of bread, milk, and water.

Run silent, run deep
Believe it or not, the run on the stores didn't happen.
Neither did the snow.

If it had just been snow it would have been fine, but it ended up being mostly sleet and rain last night, which froze overnight, so everything around here is covered in ice now. It's not supposed to get above freezing today, so we are pretty much going to be an ice rink most of the weekend it seems.
