I like to count my age in months.

Yup, Paraprofessionals, or "Teacher's Aides", only get paid $22,000 starting in Woburn.

Anyone know what starting Teachers make there?

Oh 😆 lol

Why edit your post? Embrace the fact that you are 47 and a half years old! It was hilarious.

I went on a 1/2 mile walk at 10:15 last night. Wind chill was -33. Felt fine. Air temp was -14 I think. The temperature was colder late 2017/early 2018.

We used to have regular, colder weather in the 1960s - at least that's my recollection. We had more snow too.

Coldest I’ve seen anywhere. But it’s gonna be 40F+ on Monday so it just kinda feels like a novelty event or something.

The 1-2 week stretches we sometimes get in the winter where it’s never above freezing, easily worse.

Teachers don’t get paid enough good for them. Schools should be federally funded so every school gets a even playing field. We have created a class system where the rich towns ends up with better schools.

I don’t know how it works where you live but here in Woburn we don’t vote on salaries through a referendum.

Climate change should have been named “extreme weather” or “dangerous weather” (not global warming) so people would understand it.

Most feely and complicated.

What teachers are paid is disrespectful.

Yep I've been teaching for 16 years. You can not live on that salary, they're grossly underpaid for the work they do.

It was neg 43 and neg 108 w/wind-chill on Mt Washington this morning

Not in Massachusetts, but the coldest temperature I have ever personally experienced is -53 Fahrenheit. But I never thought coastal areas would experience such rapid and dramatic temperature fluctuations as we are seeing now.

I have not seen western Massachusetts this cold in 47 years

Oh no, students miss a few days of school while learning a valuable lesson about strikes! SO horrible!

Are you a billionaire, or do you just have a hard-on for union-busting?

No, this is not the coldest, but it has become rare as of late, for it to get this cold. Furthermore, the weather would gradually decline over time, so both us and nature could adjust.

The global warming deniers will point to these few days and say, "see, this is fine." This is not fine. A few extreme temperatures or the occasional snowstorm do not make up for the whole season or seasons prior.

LOL

Totally blew past that without noticing but this is true and hilarious. Think the cutoff is closer to six.

I think once you are over forty years old, you have to drop the half years.

I'm not going outside today.

Yup.
