Well it's Sweden, and it's January, so cold, really cold. So cold infact that even with the radiator turned up to full it's still freezing inside and it's not abnormal that I wear my jacket inside to stop freezing.

Also I've noticed that I'm freezing alot more since I started HRT, which does not really make sense in my mind. Loss of muscles but gaining fat, fat is suppose to help you not freeze, it's one of the basic functions of fat. Oh well, I'm sure there is a perfectly normal explanation I just never bothered to actually look it up.

Yes, fat insulates heat. However, muscle PRODUCES 85% of your body's heat. Plus, alterations in vasodilation patterns cause an unfavorable blood distribution for feeling warm.

I KNEW there was a logical explanation to it, I was just was too lazy to look it up.

You learn something new every day.

33^oF and freezing rain predicted today.  Yuck

That freezing rain was so cool and trippy. I was out getting birthday presents that day and all of a sudden it sounded like somebody was throwing uncooked rice at everything.

That's actually a pretty good description

Cold and sunny

It's overcast here and we have icicles hanging from the roof outside

  51° F  (11° C)!  I went to the grocers, a dog-gonned heat wave!  I was actually sweating!  Out here if it is 40° F, sunny, and no or little wind, the people are in shirtsleeves.

It's 59 degrees Fahrenheit where I live.

Absolutely pathetic, I know. I hate Oklahoma. We haven't even had a winter storm this winter yet. We didn't get one last year either. I need my winter. 

It was 70F a few days ago. Now Monday is the only day between now and Friday that doesn't have snow in the forecast.

its -15F here at the moment and I hate it

Hope everyone on the US East Coast makes it through the storms okay.  Low 20's C here in Tassie, (low 70's), but blowing a gale.

We only got about 3 inches here. We never get the good stuff.

We're expecting a storm here over the weekend, not sure how much snow to expect but we are supposed to get some

I take it back on never getting the "good" stuff. All the roads are covered in ice. Love when they plow and don't bother to treat them. I'd rather they leave the snow on the road so at least there's some traction.

The mayor said this morning that all but the tertiary streets have been cleared of the snow we got here- I think around 7 or 8 around my neighborhood.
Okay... so tell me, why is the major primary street that I live on still covered in snow? It's turning brown from cars trying to drive on it.
Speaking of cars, mine won't be moving any time soon considering all the snow piled up on it 

4 degrees

It will dip into the high 30s (F) tonight.  Break out the Bermuda shorts!  It's a heatwave.

Darn that Global Warming.

Here, just before dawn, its a frigid 57.
