Yep. Besides, I Identify myself with Jesus and Christianity in front of my class.Darwinism leaves room for God?
Have you not heard of the book I Love Jesus and I Accept Evolution by Denis Lamoureaux? (I mention that to my students too)
That's a dinosaur with feathers and that means YOU have the feather problem. :banana:

How's it affecting me? It's affecting my face like novocaine.
I just took a quick, 5-minute walk around the block on break here at work. It's -5 degrees outside, and falling. I think you could probably do dental surgery on my lower and upper jaws without anesthetic and I wouldn't bat an eye.
(Partly because my eyes are frozen open, as well.)

As a teacher in the Midwest school was closed today (Tuesday) and will be closed tomorrow (Wednesday). So I have been ice skating in the front yard on the 2.5 inches of ice that has covered everything.

Now if we can just figure out how to get all of the public schools to close down on account of rain and even sunshine...
I had to put the A/C on today. I don't think I'll need my jacket on the bike ride to work. I might go to the beach on the way home in the morning.
What is this snow you speak of?

My power just came back on after about four hours. Now, it's time to warm the house up again.
I've got ice in the freezer.
I'm thinking about stopping by the Dairy Queen for a Blizzard.

I might go to DQ if the roads are clear tomorrow.
The schools were closed where I live. Our car also got stuck in our driveway. I had to break out the snow blower in freezing winds to clear the driveway. Then a kindly neighbor used his giant pickup truck to get the car unstuck. Tomorrow I will have to use the blower again to do more clearing of the driveway. Right now we have wind chills of -45 below zero F. Not a very nice night to be out.
You endure snow storms like us. Ours lasted 1 week ... and it was the longest lasting snow and ice storm I can ever remember is Georgia.
For starters my husband made a pot of split pea and ham soup. I made Brunswick stew, chicken salad with fresh grapes, and peach pies. With these things and others available we gained weight!
It is supposed to get to 18 below zero tonight, currently 8 below. My mountain friends in Estes Park and Allenspark are looking at 24 below, at least.
One friend has lost running water from pipes freezing up. Another has lost main heat source.
On a hunch, I had my antifreeze checked and then replaced, it was only good to around zero degrees. I would probably have lost the engine!
I went to the gym to work out, after work, and offered them an extra ten dollars just because they have a sauna to sit in.

We're too far north for much snow, but we're under a wind chill advisory. The temp is currently -14 and falling, wind chill -33. We might get a wind chill as low as -40. School is cancelled, don't really see the point there, but that doesn't really impact me. I've still gotta work. I might even be called in to fix a problem at work.
It was thawing last week. I miss that.

So far I have no complaints. My work is shut down for today, but I have vacation time. I'm on a very busy corner close to town, so the roads are plowed. If it looks like we can get out of the driveway I may take Mrs Delmar out for breakfast when she wakes up. Our son has his truck stuck in the circle drive, so he has got some snow to shovel/
snow
I love it

Live in Franklin T'wshp, far southside of Indy. Freezing rain early Tuesday which stopped around early A.M. rush hour. Work closed so my wife and I were home. Our driveway is steep and covered with solid ice so getting the cars out was impossible. Around 3:00 PM yesterday the sleet started (which was better than freezing rain); got about 1"-2"; went out around 7:00 PM and shoveled it off the driveway (man, it's twice as heavy as snow! :dead
This morning I went out to survey things. We were supposed to get 1"-2" inches of snow overnight but got none. I wanted it for some traction in the driveway. Solid 1/4"-1/2" of slick glaze. I slid down to the street on my butt and walked down to the corner. Main streets semi-OK driveable but everything is frozen solid and piled around, even the snow. The landscape reminds me of Steve Buscemi's line in Armageddon - "This place is like Dr. Seuss's worst nightmare."
Single digit lows the next two days with high winds so the ice is going nowhere. Hopefully I can get a friend or neighbor to help me get out today and get some salt/calcium chloride for the driveway.
We do have plenty of food tho and I'm in the middle of one of my beloved jig-saw puzzles, a 1,000 piecer of a Washington state botanical garden.
