I already know what the groundhog is going to say next week...

Granted I was driving slowly with my white knuckled, slightly frostbitten fingers gripping the steering wheel but I really wanted to tell the guy that was tailgating me this morning on my way to work to "f" off.  The roads sucked. Fortunately I only had to stop for one red light.  So when is spring exactly?

How cold is it?

It's so frigging cold I had to scrape the inside of my car windows this morning using a credit card. We are at -2 degrees/ windchill -24 degrees.

Momism

Mom after being told today she had to use her walker due to icy conditions or stay home, "I hate that goddamn thing."

Spouse reports bad day...

Michael's day started with his car not starting. He ended up staying home but had to use one of his precious vacation days.  Subsequent attempts to start his car failed and he was unable to push his car in the garage in hopes of warming it up.  Stranded at home, he decided to make use of his time off to apply for social security and found himself locked out of the system when he couldn't answer the security questions.  When I got home we decided to go to Archilles for dinner only to find it was closed.  We then drove to Burger King and they apparently were having issues with their heat.  But all ended well - bagged up the dinner and brought it home to our warm house.   Guess who's decided to use my car tomorrow. :)

Polar Vortex

Ann Arbor temps and wind chill forecasts for tonight.

Car Spa

I won the lottery at work to park in the heated building lot for a few weeks. My car seemed definitely happy to be out of the sub zero temps we've been hit with. I almost felt bad taking it home and back in the cold after work.

Let it snow...
