So. It is very, very, very cold here. Went down below zero Friday night, and has stayed there continuously since, and is not going to get *above* zero until, I dunno, maybe Tuesday. Minus eleven right now, with a -40ish windchill, and forecast to be -17 tonight. I have not been out of the house since I got home on Friday evening, and I am not going to leave it until it gets by god above zero again, which means I'll be working from home tomorrow, and this is not an ideal solution, because when it's this cold I can't really get my place very warm, but going someplace that *is* warm would require, y'know, going outside. And attempting to start the car. Or standing and waiting for the bus. And I am not up to it.

In other news -- hi. (*g*) Yes, I have been absent from these parts since -- uh, sometime last year, though reading LJ fitfully and sporadically. I am fine, I should add, and life is fine, apart from the strange whatever-it-is that blocks me from being able to actually write down any of the words that go on in my head, and which has been afflicting me for months now. This has, needless to say, kept me from composing the Grand Summative Essay of Ruminative Reflection and Updatingness with which to jump back in the soup; so I'll go with a brief, unilluminating grump about the weather instead.

Hi! Here's hoping it's not another six weeks before you poke your head up again--it's nice to see you posting, and to know you're alive and well, albeit cold and blocked.

*hugs*

From: [personal profile] ratcreature
brrrr. That is very cold. Good to hear you're okay though.

While having snow would be cool and all, I'm quite happy with the mild winters of temperatures hovering a bit above freezing (I think that's in the 30-40 Fahrenheit?). I wouldn't want to imagine my heating bills with winters like yours.

*waves* The soup misses you and always loves whatever ingriedients you add, weather-related or no; you needn't bring it Grand Summative Essays.

...mmm, soup.

I personally feel that the weather is always a reasonable LJ topic. Also, I completely agree with the "do not leave the house until it is above zero" policy. Hope it warms up soon!

yes - 32 Fahrenheit is freezing. And I'm significantly south of her in latitude, and it's -17 here today.

Whee!

Er, just so I'm really clear -

+32 is freezing. :)

Come down south to lovely Chicago, where your "official" temperature is our "windchill" temperature! MUCH nicer!

How lovely that my own random and sporadic LJ reading coincided with your post! Hello from my part of the world! For me today will be all about drinking enough tea and getting enough light to stay alert and work, as I am shockingly behind. It occurs to me that I don't even know when Escapade is, let alone whether I can go. I am so out of every possible loop.

But at least I caught you on your LJ run, so, hey, my dog says hello too. Or he would if he knew you.

From: [personal profile] ratcreature
Yikes, that's cold too. I think I'm further North in latitude (about equal to southern Alaska), but thanks to the Gulfstream and the generally milder martime climates, I have all the darkness with none of the cold. *hearts oceans*

Hugs back to you! I have gotten somewhat caught up on your life, and -- good heavens, woman, what a time you've been having. Hope that everything settles down very soon!

She lives! Horray. Plus I can so totally agree with the staying in the house when it's this cold. SF has had a very cold winter (for us) and I find that I tend to stay indoors a lot more. Nothing wrong with protecting the fragile human parts. I'm glad to read that life is fine. You don't have to post grand ruminations. We love you just the way you are.

ummm...soup.

Yeah, the thing to avoid is being in the middle of a very large continental land mass. I'm actually at just about the same latitude as Venice and Bordeaux, but (clearly) just a wee bit chillier. *g*

Soup! Why am I not making some??

(And having spent some time catching up on LJ, I'm just aghast at recent awfulnesses you've been coping with. Jeez *louise.* I think it's time to unleash the ninja pirate assassins...)

And of course, the thing about living up here is that the weather can *always* be counted on to provide one with fodder. I hope things are at least somewhat less godawful where you are.

Dude, if I once started heading southward, I would not stop until I toppled into the frickin' GULF. The seething hatred I feel for this weather, this climate, and the forces of my own misguidedness that keep me here on the tundra, can scarce be expressed. (It is, however, somewhat eased by the goofball cat pictures you just posted. *g*)

Man, the Gulf Stream confuses *everything* about latitude, doesn't it. Hmph.

Brrr.
