A friend from farther south--after complaining about how cold it was where he is--asked me if we were having a brutal winter.

I said that it was actually a fairly normal winter up here. It's just that everyone else, from Texas to England and Florida to Ireland, appeared to be sharing our winter.

I still remember that week where it was -20 and by the time you got to Davis T stop you couldn't feel your thighs... through jeans + long underwear... that was awe-inspiring.

Yes! Perhaps that was the week bedfull_o_books reminded me of tonight. She opened the apartment door and the heat came out of the apartment in a great cloud. Amazing.

But I saw this great map a few days ago-- can't remember where-- showing the temperatures in terms of deviation from norm rather than as absolutes, and you could see this frigid mass hovering over the midwest and down to Florida, and over in Britain and across to Mongolia.

I don't know if you originally saw it here, or if it's even the map you're thinking of, but if so I've left it in an easy to find place. :)

ha ha ha! May very well have been. Now I am highly amused. :)
