We've had it all this week. It was comparatively warm on Monday, then Tuesday was down to about 10F with a brutal wind. But sunny. Wednesday wasn't much different, perhaps a little warmer, but that's when my bathroom pipes burst.

I'm waiting for the plumber right now -- bathroom water has been shut off since Wednesday (which I can live with -- we have a composting toilet). Most of the damage was the pipes under the bathroom window, but it extended into the area under the sink. The problem there is that it's accessed through the closet in the bedroom...which I've been avoiding for several years because of flying squirrel damage. Okay. It's now safe for the plumber and I've not only cleared the floor TO the closet, but shovelled out the closet itself. And this will make it easier for me to do other things that need to be done. (If only the plumber will get here...)

It snowed all yesterday but it was pretty much a nuisance snow -- no real accumulation. Just made driving complicated. So I decided against the 55 mile round trip drive to The Press Room session late afternoon despite REALLY needing a music fix. (And to be with friends...) And freezing rain was predicted before I'd be coming home so that influenced me, too. And the fact that cleaning out that closet and schlepping heavy things down the stairs had worn me out. I was sound asleep in my comfortable bed before the session was over.

AccuWeather says it's supposed to be up to 50F today...but then, more realistically, says the "Real Feel" is about 36F. It's raining. And foggy. And it feels COLD, not 50°. And damp.

I'm feeling overextended...a bit depressed...and the weather is certainly NOT helping! And I can't even hunker down with a bowl of popcorn and episodes of "Stoney Burke" because I'm waiting for the plumber...

mg, I picked up a rain jacket this fall at a Columbia outlet store that works well for my climate in winter, where temps most often range from the 40's to upper 50's during the day, and it is hard to find a happy medium with respect to dressing in layers and staying dry on wet days. Made from their Omni Heat reflective fabric. Waterproof, breathable, and reflects one's own bodyheat very effectively. Does all it promises to do. Check it out.

Near 70 F. In the single and teen digits 5 days ago. Currently under severe thunderstorm warning and tornado warning. Dark as twilight right now and the wind is raging. The weather radio alert is going off every 2 minutes as storms move across the Piedmont. Wish it was practical for the alarms to not cover such a large area. Ditches and gutters overflowing. Tree limbs down in the yard and the yard, even though it slopes, looks like a lake. Yikes! I want my mommy!

Bear cub comes romping up to his mother and says, "Mommy, what kind of bear am I?"

"Why, you're a polar bear, honey," sez his mother.

The cub wanders off, looking thoughtful.

After a bit, comes back and asks, "Mommy, what kind of bear did you say I was?"

Again, she say's "Well, you're a polar bear."

Again, the cub shambles off, looking thoughtful.

Then he comes back and asks once more, "What kind of bear did you say I am, Mommy?"

"You're a polar bear, honey. Why do you keep asking?"

Windchill temp (WC) here is only -22C but it's -11C so it's time we invented a new "feels like" temp scale for the interior of a building. I'd suggest the Kee Kee* (KK). Such a scale would indicate the perceived effect of the combination of ambient temp and wind on the average indoor temp over time by taking into account the measure of the rate of heat loss from a building and the proportional length of the heating system cycle above and below the thermostat setting, that is, the the ratio of the length of time during which the interior temp is lower than the thermostat setting to the length of time above it. Perhaps a specific example would more clearly illustrate the premise for my proposal than a continuation of the discussion in the above manner. For such purpose, I will use an example which relates to my experience as I type.

Heating system : central electric forced air; cycle +/- 2C

Case 1 : -20C, -30WC.
Cycle off - 15 minutes
Cycle on - 20 minutes

Case 2 : -10C, -30C.
Cycle off - 10 minutes
Cycle on - all fuckin day












* Kee Kee Keeriste it's cold!

"Good for something"... well, if your beer NEEDS to be cold to be palatable.. *grin*.

Here in the metro Wash DC area, we are durned chilly at about 110F, but no snow and no major issues... (except for a few old water mains cracking and some very cold repair crews).

I am not exactly used to this in recent years, but 60 years ago I walked a paper route in Wichita, Kans. in 20F.... a time or two. I did shopping just BEFORE the Big Chill, so we can stay inside till it eases a bit on Thurs.

Wow, maeve, that's kind of a meteorological flipping the switch on and off again quickly - a freeze after all of that water? Ouch!

For North Texas we're threatened with rolling blackouts or brownouts today because of the high demand for electricity - it got to 13o last night and is only going to come up to 32o during the day, then way down again tonight. We're not accustomed to so much of this, and temps this low are quite rare.

In Juneau, in southeastern Alaska, we've had nippy weather the last week or so, temperatures vacillating between 17 degrees to 7, Fahrenheit, of course. Not bad, at all, at least until the wind kicks up. Tonight we've been told that by tomorrow night we could have a heavy dump of snow, followed by rain, with snow showers for the next week or two. At the moment it is snowing lightly, and it's scuddering around on the pavement (asphalt). Still nippy.

CC (Carol for those who remember) awoke to a layer of snowy ice on her car this AM in SC. SC! BRRRRRRRRR! Earliest snow in SC ever, I believe.

Our weather is up down hellwest and crooked as is the norm in fall. The Yanks send us warm air (mostly rains) from the south. It stalls when it hits the Atlantic just north of PEI. This hot air rises and sucks in cold air from the north and west of us. This repeats in ever dwindle temperatures until the Yanks stop sending us warm air and then we endure a never boring winter, at best. So, as a Herring Choker, I blame the Yanks for all this mayhem. Screw Free Trade. I want a Free Weather Agreement. I sall write a Goddamn letter to that effect to my MP forthwith with forthwit.
