it is raining flecks of ice. in about two hours, they will begin to freeze on contact, and probably already are in 'untreated' areas. i have been hearing sirens off in the distance, all day -- there's a highway nearby; i was lucky enough to get permission to work from home. predictions were for a freeze-over, so clean the car up today or i'm fucked. i took a break in the early afternoon to de-snow my car, the stairs, the walkway. after all that, i go for a drive. conditions are quite tough, but i manage, despite smoking a cigarette in diachronic tandem. a good snow driving trick is to wait for a clear moment and mash the gas to see how much the tiers slip. after a couple such test-toasts at strategic locations, i was going grandma through every corner due to risk of a spin-out. that was 3:30. now, it is 6:30, and, like i said, the temperature will drop in two hours, and everything will freeze da fuck over. i learn this after checking the weather, as work is winding down. there is worse news: thursday drops into temperatures better registered on the kelvin scale. it will freeze tonight, crest above freezing for about five glorious hours tomorrow, and then promptly go kelvin-scale until sunday. i used an online javascripts, it will be -6C outright and -18C with windchill. not cool, windchill i am immediately all "aaaaaugh commuting is gonna suuuuuck all week" and it probably will. then i am also "shit, everything not shoveled right now is going to be fucked for days" and i'm out doing a second round of shoveling. the other tenants cleared a bit around the garbage shed but i need to clear some pathways now because my landlady is old and wobbly i am tired. i dread the commute tomorrow. i still have a bunch of crap to do to prepare for work tomorrow. i need a shower. this week will be stinging cold how is ur weather xlt |

one of the other tenants is out there now, clearing more sludge. i rather like it that we've all kind of just been doing shifts without even having to coordinate with each other |

it's always a special occasion when it registers a natural zero on the fahrenheit scale. i had a thermometer dongle -- heck, i think i still have it -- clipped on to my jacket, in, like fifth grade, when i was ten. and i looked at it and we're at like -5 fahrenheit, or -20C according to javascrips the first aspect is the wind blasting cold, sucking the life out of your skin. there are an intricate unfolding responses to this: some people go up to a ski mask, almost, with various accessories. i just moisturize, use balm on my hands, and, shit, i still haven't gotten another umbrella, but, yeah, learning to deflect the wind via various tactics the cold is ok, though. not good, but, whatever. what really stresses me out is the ice. having a lot of walking to do between train stops and work and home, i'm moving like the sony because i have to walk to work to get to work and i need both my hands to program |

as hearsay has it, the innut have over a hundred words for snow -- the different varieties; conditions. typically, we get a major snowstorm, and whatever doesn't get cleared out ices over. this, however, is a bit more. it is, as i mentioned, raining flecks of ice, that are freezing on contact. usually, you get a bit of melt and smooth, slippery ice... but i rubbed my hand over the step and it felt like a fractal constellation. a 3D structure of little bits of ice gradually building up pyramids on surface that was not actually below freezing, yet. it's actually quite unusual. can't remember the buildup has been quite this structural what is innut for this-will-be-a-bastard-to-walk-on-tomorrow |

Strangely it’s a beautiful sunny day here, no wind. |

it dumped more snow overnight, but thankfully, it was warm enough for long enough that most of it melted back off and i don't have to clear the car off again. however, anything not cleared out yesterday is now permafrost. my arms are still sore, but that was definitely the right move walk home was slow, because of walking on ice. however, it wasn't bad, because it's neither windy nor brutally cold both of those are forecast for tomorrow, and the walk will probably suck a lot (intuit quacken) |
