-17C/1.4F this morning. :bleeding:
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Dubai has an expensive standby bid, just in case it all kicks off in Korea these next few weeks.

While I get the nuclear winter joke, Dubai has no mountain. The FIS-Ski is why we have so much trouble finding Winter Olympic cities.

The IOC is why there's trouble finding Olympic cities, the snow, mountains and facilities are easy to find.

No, the 'joke' is Dubai* is totally unsuited to host a winter Olympics, so why wouldn't the IOC** award it to Dubai.



* too much money
** susceptible to bribery.

FIS moutain requirements are too hard. The IOC insisting that they are "close" is a problem too, you are right.

Frozen rain and hail. had the whole weather spectrum this week

We had a little freezing rain yesterday.  Schools were let out.  The worst type of winter weather.

I was going to ask Beeb why he never snow birds, but then figured it was because of kids and school.

So I'm curious who exactly are the hordes driving down I95 to Florida.  Empty nesters and retirees?

Illegal migrant workers, fleeing the righteous fury of Trump's wroth?

The ones who are driving?  Definitely retirees.  Working-age empty nesters fly down to Mexico or Cuba.

I don't mind the cold that much, but I wouldn't be opposed to a mid-winter break in the sun.  But Yi nailed it - hard to do with the kids.
