It’s been pretty mild so far, some snow (we had a White Christmas) but not really cold and we actually had rain (rain!!!!) on New Year’s Eve. We got more snow starting on Saturday, but it got really cold last night and was still -21C / 5.8F at 10 am today. We’re getting a bit of a break tomorrow (high about +2C / 35.6F) but then temps are going to fall drastically for about a week or so. Friday looks to be the coldest at -27C / -16.6F for a high with an overnight low at -34 C / -29.2F. The good new is we should be able to stay home through the worst of it. I always worry the car just won’t be able to handle those really cold temps. Poor thing is very, very old.
Question of The Day:
January 8 - It's World Typing Day - can you touch type using all your fingers? If not, do you wish you could?
Yes, I can. Typing was a mandatory class in my first year in high school. I actually learned to type on a manual typewriter, because that school was weird about the electric ones they had. You had to work up to being allowed to use the electric ones. Massive PITA, as I didn’t have the hand size or strength to get up to any sort of decent speed on a manual. I never did “earn” the privilege of being able to use the electric machines. I took another run at the whole thing a couple of years later (when I moved to a different school) and was eventually able to get up to a decent speed.
