It's not really that cold out, is it? Are you asking the thermometer? To a chemist or a physicist, temperature is really just a measure of how fast the molecules that make up air are moving, how much energy they have. To those of us more interested...

To a chemist or a physicist, temperature is really just a measure of how fast the molecules that make up air are moving, how much energy they have. To those of us more interested in what the thermometer says outside, temperature has more to do with the rate at which we exchange heat with the environment. At the same…

Dull cold-weather conversation under the cut... (you have been warned)

The “polar vortex” has arrived in my neck of the woods, and part of me is like “ok, so?” b/c I grew up in an area where it got to -30 and -40 C for at least part of every winter, but the other part of me — the soft, city-dwelling part that no longer even owns a proper winter jacket (or boots, or a hat, or a scarf, for that matter), is like “OH GOD OH FUCK”... 

This isn’t helped by the fact that I currently live in a 1950s wood-framed apartment building with the Worlds Shittiest Insulation™ and windows that may as well have holes drilled through them (I can literally hear the wind WHISTLING through the cracks around them). I spent part of today jerry-rigging what I could to block out drafts, including putting Saran Wrap over the smaller window in my bedroom, and pinning a heavy fleece blanket (the only thing I have in the house large enough, besides bedsheets) over the big living room window. 

I don’t mind living/working in the dark if it means not freezing and/or paying a fortune in heat/electric bills.  As long as the power stays on I should be reasonably set for the next week.

Maybe it would be a good day for a run.

Weather: 30 degrees F ❄️

Me: 😫 Maybe it would be a good day for a blanket and chilling with the pets and plants.
