No, not really. Talk to anybody who has been here for more than a few years specifically understands and know this mere few days of cold is rather normal and something we haven’t seen which is not normal. I’m happy to see it…and because people have short memories they think a foot of snow and a few cold days is abnormal. I remember seeing car rads popping back in the day

I feel under attack!

Not sure about sexist though. Have you seen handmaids tale? It’s quite good and portrays a dystopian patriarchal society that oppresses woman. The colonial architecture is similar to the architecture in the show.

The prostate joke is more of an ageist joke. Not meant to be misogynistic… and a joke.

Thought of that

Banking on global warming to solve those problems! That’s why I’m considering fleeing down south.

I like cold. And woods. And black bears from a reasonable distance.

I don’t like ticks or Lyme disease though. That stuff is gross. Driving in snow does sound sketch - but hey! Global warming?

The Mount Washington forecast makes entertaining reading. As I'm posting this comment, it says: "Looking further out, temperatures on Friday will start around 20F below then fall through the day to around 30F below at sunset. Temperatures continue to fall overnight, bottoming out after midnight and into early Saturday. How cold they get is still not quite nailed down as some models are keeping the bullseye of cold more to the northeast over Quebec while others have this sagging further south. On the high end, lows will bottom out at around 35F below while the low end has us bottoming out at around 43F below. There is even the hint of a tropopause fold in our vicinity and if that is the case, lows could dip even further for a brief period with one model this morning hinting at 49F below."

Staying indoors, making some soup and cookies. Then living under a blanket watching TV. Might do it again on Sunday. Change that to will be doing it again on Sunday.
