How's everyone else doing?
wondering if it is feasible to sell a million dollar view of the pacific coastline.
not the building or anything mind you, just the view.

For the first time in ages, all 4 of us are here in the room with space for 4 people.
Normally it's like 1 or 2 of us.

Excuse me? 1 inch shuts down my entire state.

round these parts anything less than 4 inches is considered "an annoyance"
it used to be you wouldn't get school closures for anything less than 8 inches, but thanks to the continued gutting of our education system by any and all elected officials it's common to see closures for as little as 2mm.
when i was a kid we knew how to shut up and deal with the cold. we had things called snow pants to use when it snowed we didn't complain because we were cold when wearing nothing bit a micromini skirt and a thong.....
-mutter grumble-
-wave cane-

When it gets too cold here, the buses won't start. Because it usually doesn't get that cold, it's not something worth spending money on. But last year's polar vortex happened, and there was one day this year where it happened again.

that's an issue here too. but it's common enough that we just buy buses with block heaters so they'll start.

Some parts of the UK, the snow just looks at the ground and it all grinds to a halt.

i'll get the marshmallows, you make sure everyone got out of the car ok before we start using it to roast the marshmallows.

Hope you're not finding out the ventilation/airco is not up to par?
-
It's spot on. It's quite new, and we have the controls so it's fine.

That sounds familiar. We get that too, usually near the start of the winter.

We finally got our own controls a couple weeks ago. Which is nice because we used to be slaved to the next room, which:
- The occupants like 3°C warmer than we
- Contains 50% more windows and 100% more exterior-facing wall than ours
Which led to the less-than-ideal situation of us having a window open year-round.
-
We're not on the edge of the building. No windows that open to the outside world.

I don't know what the current policy for snow days is here. It hasn't snowed since 1998.
-

I should say so, that's well below the mean
-
i didn';t get the notification for this... odd.
coastal effect means we see lower snowfall here than most of the state. but still 4 inches is not uncommon. the mean is probably someowere around 3 inches.
-
My understanding was it's about 5-6 inches, depending how and when you measure ;)
-
go five miles inland and i have no doubt. but less than a klick from the shoreline? nah. that big old body of water changes things something fierce.

Cause it was attributed to @da_Doctah instead of the spam fox.

You're probably better off swimming in that case.

Try the secret decoder ring

mixed metaphore there... but point taken.

I am just going to leave this one alone...
-
I knew I couldn't have been THAT subtle :D
-
missed it because of the rapidly dropping barometer (don't get me started, please), missed it because of excess blood in my caffeine system, or deliberately ignoring it... you decide.

I think there's a correlation between how shitty my day is and how much time I spend making lewd jokes on the internet :D

Ahhhh, the hell with it.
[spoiler]Most guys start measuring at their prostate.[/spoiler]

hmm.... so was this a rough day or just a normal one?
-
I don't think I've ever had enough snowfall there to measure.

Hilarious!
Oh, wait, no it isn't. That's tragic. Thank you Miss Buzzkill.

... you and i have very different ideas about funny.
pain, to me is never funny, and while i might joke about causing it in the form of bites (to fit in with the fox "form") i'd never do it without prior consent, andand that's enough of that subject. moving on!

Miss Buzzkill
Mrs Buzzkill, thankyouverymuch~
Hopefully tomorrow's doc appointment goes better than this morning's phone call and I'll have some timeline for getting off painkillers in sight.
