Roads are bad. Schools are closed. Ice is expected for at least another day. State Police are advising everyone to stay home.

I'm telling everyone this if you need to call Steve. If the Tasmanian Devil answers, it just means he went 'feral' again. Try calling back in a day or so. Once the temperature raises, he'll go back to his "Dr. Jeckyll" personality.

Steve's going native again! Hide your brooms or he will turn them into makeshift spears and ceremonial straw headresses.

That boy changes faster than The Flash with diarrhea while eating chili drinking some straight-well Mexico agua. I just spoke to him yesterday, and he was chipper and giggly, busy and wanting to strangle me, but you know how it is -- I deserve it. Hope nothing untoward happens in the icy depths of the near semi-South.

Icy depths? Yeah. Maybe in northern Arkansas. We woke up to some wet roads and a little chill in the air. We turned the tv on to see if the apocalypse had happened to find out that the cool drizzle and a little ice build up on a window in the southern part of the city had driven the city officials mad with terror. They called out the national guard, seized the grocery stores to stop the mad throngs of Arkansans from sacking the food sources. They blew the bridges across the Arkansas River in the hopes that we could keep the cool air on the north side of the water. They then turned the Clinton Library into a giant trailer-like arc and began filling it with an assortment of rats, bats and feral cats in anticipation of the end of all our days. I hear many families ate their babies out of fear that their neighbors would eat them from the forced food shortages. Even now our city officials are sending thousands of flares up trying to call someone for help. I'm pretty sure I saw a dude with an umbrella on the outside of town asking what the problem was.

Idiots. City officials are idiots. Muck akin to the state officials and elected officials in Washington. Idiots. They couldn't find their way out of a sideless box. And we pay taxes to be ruled by these idiots. Think about it. We work. We earn money. We give the money to these people to RULE OVER US. We pay them to govern us. Its sort of like me throwing money into a fire for food.

We're all idiots.

Of course I did log onto the weather channel to see what the weather was like and sure as @&!* I tried to type in my zip code and a pop up menu jumped out from under my mouse. I quickly moved the mouse only to be assaulted by another pop up menu. Even as I dodged that one another one popped up and another. They kept jumping back under the mouse every time I moved it but only to allow room for another one to pop up! @&^#@*&$ internet. So I turned it off and went and looked out the window. There now I know what the weather is like.

Technology is best summed up in the slow ass moving electronic doors. Can't count the number of doors I run into hoping against hope that the door will open before I get to it. Of course I'm waiting in vain for the slow moving sensor to alert the computer to tell the door to open. I could have been half way to my truck by the time it moves. But then again I might have to lift my arm and bend my fingers to open the door. . . .

Too funny, Steve!

Dunno about AR, but we're iced in here in North Texas. Univ.'s closed and we're staying indoors...with Indigo's Thermo-Nuclear Chocolate Death-Hot Chocolate to keep us alive.

My sister lives in Norman, Oklahoma. She says they had a "Thunder Ice Storm" at 6:30 CST this morning. That's a new one on me.
@Steve. If you have Vista, download the Weather Channel Widget. It's much more detailed than the default Vista weather information. It even informs you of local weather alerts without having to go online. (GASP-- I almost used Vista and user-friendly in the same sentence.)

In NW PA, they are calling for 12-19 inches of snow over the next 24 hours. The poor sods to the south of me are expected to get the snow plus the ice. Sometimes it's good to live near Canada.

After checking to see what that was in Celsius... I can certainly take and even enjoy the heat as long as it is a dry one! In either case (whether it be extreme heat or cold) it is the humidity that ends up making it unbearable.

Reminds me of when I used to live in Tucson, AZ back in the early 90s.... I was on the U of A campus and saw someone wearing a T-shirt that advertised the city.

On it, below the "Tucson" banner were two skeletons in lawn chairs, one looking at the other and saying "...but its a dry heat!"

:p

This speaks to me ~ I'd only add Bourbon, coffee and some whipped cream atop!

Alas, we have no bourbon nor whipped cream in the house, but we do have plenty of marshmallows which melt over the top of the mug like a little protective shield to keep the heat in...

Sieg had never had homemade hot chocolate made with actual milk before we were married, so I had an easy winner on my hands!

Ya don't have to go all the way to Canada for those temps. Last week we were at 12F/-24C without windchill up here in good ole Pennsylvania.
