PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Subfreezing temperatures across much of the U.S. left millions of Americans facing dangerous cold as Arctic storms left four dead and knocked out electricity to tens of thousands in the Northwest, brought snow to the South, and walloped the Northeast with blizzard conditions that forced the postponement of an NFL game.
It’s fine, just make sure you still get to work, your health and safety means nothing if your boss can’t have a 3rd vacation home.
I haven’t checked yet to see if my little dog has decided to poop in the house yet. He’s a chihuahua/dachshund mix so he has a short coat, but he refuses to wear a sweater or a jacket, so he won’t go out the dog door. My big dog doesn’t care. She’s got a big thick coat, so she goes outside and does her favorite winter activity- eat snow. She doesn’t care if it’s -40. That said, it’s currently -6, -16 with wind chill (in American dumbness units) here in west-central Indiana, so we’ll probably be doing some mopping today.
Edit: Yep, he pooped in the house.
Lafayette?
Terre Haute, sadly.
Oof, my condolences
Thank you. I hate it here.
This is great for the “global warming ain’t real” crowd
This year is extremely atypical. This is the first week here we’ve had it substantially below freezing. we haven’t dropped below zero… at all.
Its freakishly mild. to the point that all the idiots that go ice fishing… are whining about not being able to drive the decidedly overpriced trucks out onto the ice like they’ve always been before. yes, I enjoy the irony there. Also, little known fact. When you drive on lake ice, your insurance is suspended.
Overpriced 🤣.
Big mads. Imagine being happy at someone else’s loss, or happy at them being in because they own a truck. Unhinged shit really.
Owning a truck when you don’t need one is stupid.
Okay. Not what was said 🤷♂️.
I’m also happy if someone loses their giant climate killer in a lake.
To be fair, what was said was not exactly clear.
What was unclear?

They think because it’s not warm it’s not real. They really can’t get past that it effects everything.
Reminder to let your faucets drip overnight and keep the cabinet doors open under the sink to avoid freezing pipes. Stay safe!
