Crazy Weather

[Thomas Kearney]

Has anyone seen the #museumsnowballfight trend on Twitter because of the bomb cyclone hitting the East Coast? I just moved to Michigan and it was 15 degrees today with a wind chill making it feel like -10. I'm also making a lot of extra money shoveling driveways. Hope all members in the areas the bomb cyclone is hitting are OK.

Thomas - You didn't have to move to Michigan. We've got the same kind of temps in your old state of Maryland. We only got a few inches of snow, but the temps are so low that the road chemicals are freezing instead of thawing the highways. Now the winds have picked up, and the windows are rattling. I'm skipping the hot chocolate and heading for a hot toddy! The temperatures on Friday and Saturday are supposed to be even worse.

My plan for my old age was to spend winters in Florida and summers in Maine. Somehow, I've gotten terribly side-tracked...

Same here. It's a good thing I stocked up on Hot Cocoa from Aldi and Meijer. But I am missing Laurel, Rosecroft and MASN. I spent 2 weeks during the summer of 06 in Acadia National Park and could really use a trip to Disney World right now.
