There's an expression that says "It's colder than a witch's titties out there." It's supposed to mean it's really cold outside... I mean really, really cold outside. I don't have any personal experience with a witch's titties so I can't speak to the validity of the statement, but I will say that if there are any witches out there willing to let me experiement I'd love to hear from you. This is purely in the name of science, of course.
All that aside, it's seriously cold out there. In fact, I don't remember the last time it was this cold for this long. Apparently the last snow we had was four years ago, I remember that year... that was the year we got an unexpected snow storm in April... yeah... fucking April! The snow was so bad and so sudden people were abandoning their cars because they couldn't make it home. My wife and I decided to pick up a few things from the store. On a normal day the travel time to the store would have been about 15 minutes, but on this day it took us over an hour to make that 15 minute drive.
So far this current cold snap isn't as bad. The snow we're getting is the light flurries that happen on and off and don't really amount to much to get excited over. I hear in some areas they have an ice problem, but haven't run into anything like that here. It probably helps it hasn't rained in days, which those of you living in the Pacific Northwest will know is kind of unusual for this time of year.
Tonight I'll go home, sit back with a cup of cocoa, and listen as the local news reporters stand on some random street corner telling us it's cold outside. They'll tell us this every five to ten minutes, in case we might not have gotten the memo.
Way to report the obvious guys.
As for me, I hope to have some hard data on the average temperature of a witch's titties soon. If I do I'll make a full report... for science.
