Talking of sharing, Barb's complaints about the weather mid-west USA has been so persistent that it crossed the Atlantic and was featured by the BBC. Technical talk about polar vortex splitting into two, one to USA, one to Siberia, so don't go blaming the Russians!

With these low temperatures, I'm sure Britain would be in serious trouble, our houses and heating systems are just not up to it. Bright sun here in the Windy Pennines, temps vary from -4C to 4C.

0 degrees F here near St. Louis, Missouri (-18 C) and we are in the warm part of the vortex!!!

There was such a song many years ago. Now for some trivia-- The drink originated in the central-Texas city of Waco (WAKE-oh) and was called a Waco at first. Somewhere along the line someone decided to call it Dr. Pepper, perhaps in an effort to market it as a health tonic. It is no longer produced in Waco, although there is a Dr. Pepper Museum there. The main plant is in Dublin, TX. Yes, Dublin. There is also a Paris, TX, of course, and a number of other names derived from European capitals. This is probably more than anyone wanted to know, but I felt in the mood to share.

There's also Manhattan in Kansas!!

That is so warm; here the front and back doors were frozen this morning and I had to "free" one with a hair dryer. That's what you get with crappy seals and extreme cold.

Wind chill here is -48 F.

So you'll have to wear CLOTHES?

Perhaps we should postpone the flogging; with a wind chill like that, your tumescent tits would shoot out right from their sockets!

Will it send the 'horde' home to warmer climes?

 

[jacksjg89]

Will it send the 'horde' home to warmer climes?

No. We’ll just bundle up in our jackets and not go out until it climbs to a manageable 70. May also make some hot cocoa.

About 4C/40F here, cocoa suddenly sounds attractive.
