I'm jealous.

Yeah I just looked out the window and noticed. I called E and asked about New Jersey -- she says the sun is shining.

Fuck you, everyone. This morning was the fourth time in two weeks I've had to call my landlord to tell him the furnace is blowing nothing but cold air and the temperature in the room with the thermostat has dropped more than five degrees between 1AM and 8AM. I was hoping it would be 50 degrees for the rest of this winter, and then go back to normal next year when I live in a less-than-100-year-old building with a less-than-40-year-old furnace and heat that I don't have to pay for.

(This could of course be a highly localized thing on the block where LB and I work -- also it seems to be stopping now.)

So it is. Unfogged, for your up to the second midtown weather reports.

See, I was pleased that the high today was finally going to get below 50. But looking at the 5-day forecast, it back to the 70s by this weekend. This has been the lamest winter ever.

It snowed for about five minutes in Queens.

The forecast for the weekend out here is single digit lows. Lovely.

As of this minute in Vienna we have +12 deg. Celsius. The world IS ending. It will definitely end if by the 3rd of Feb there is no snow in the Alps. That is when my kids have their school break for skiing.

I notice that gswift, unlike everyone else on the internet, has been consistently complaining about the incredibly low temperatures this winter. Where does he live? I'm guessing Denver.

It snowed down in lower Manhattan where I am. But yes, it seems to have stopped here.

Now, of course, the sun is shining brightly out of a cloudless sky. Feh.

Perhaps we're being punished for having allowed our winter goddess to escape confinement. It may be a naive error to image such a deity in ski togs, like an old-time chapstick ad; maybe a phial of antidepressants in one hand and a jug of antifreeze in the other is a psychologically more insightful depiction.

We've got about an inch on the ground here in the North Country. It looks quite nice, almost like winter.

11: It's been really cold and dry in the Bay Area, for Bay Area values of "cold." There isn't much point in complaining because the rest of the Intarweb just makes fun of us when we do.

Now that New York is back to normal, though, the next task on the weather gods' to-do list should be a big ol' rainstorm (and some snowpack in the Sierras) for us. One rainy day every other Thursday is not going to keep us watered over the summer.

magpie, I sympathize. when I lived in the bay area I was cold all the time in winter (and sometimes summer), much colder than on the east coast. why? because none of the fucking buildings are insulated or heated properly, and because the day/night (or sunny/befogged) disparity is so large that you set out in light clothes and then spend the next hours before returning home blue and miserable. I used to solve this problem by smoking heroin and sitting on the kitchen floor with all the stove burners on, and my oven on and its door open, but YMMV.

here in lovely SE asia it is 84 and cloudy. I'm going out to buy glass beads for my lovely husband.
