* It's official. This is the coldest February (here) on record since the official formation of the National Weather Service in 1870. Average daily temperature: 11.1 F. The last record was 1934 with 11.6. * We have had 30 consecutive days below freezing, which ties for the fifth longest stretch of that (might get a few more days on that one, which could move us into 4th). * This is only the second time since records were kept that the entire month of February was below freezing. Last time was 1978. * And finally, we are tied for first place for the most days below zero (F) with 10. * Out of random interest, our snow totals thus far are 102.7". We will never beat the record in that department, which was the winter of 1976-1977 (including the infamous blizzard of '77). That total was 199.4 inches of snow. That's ok. We wouldn't want to get greedy. Good night, folks! #crossingtheHelcaraxë

I need an excuse to make this: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/cocoa-nib-chocolate-and-citrus-dacquoise-351263 http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/cocoa-nib-chocolate-and-citrus-dacquoise-351263

Not overfond of CNN morning news shows, but caught intelligent moment this morning. Apparently, a survey among Republicans was done and results are being dissected. One of the questions it asked was whether Christianity should be the official religion of the USA.  ... ... ... Aside from my immediate reaction to the fact that such a question was asked AT ALL, I was pleased to note the pointed observation that in addition to violating the US Constitution ( Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; ), the same people are all for getting rid of religious extremists in other countries. They don't seem to see themselves as such. How convenient. I'm wondering whose version of Christianity they think is going to win this hypothetical little game.

In 145 years of recorded weather history, the coldest February was 1934, when the average temperature for the month was 11.6 F. It has not been above 32 F since Jan 29. Depending on what happens tomorrow, we may break that record.

I am a sad puppy, and his last tweet just aches, right now. http://www.cbc.ca/news/arts/leonard-nimoy-star-trek-s-spock-dead-at-83-1.2975593 http://www.cbc.ca/news/arts/leonard-nimoy-star-trek-s-spock-dead-at-83-1.2975593

Woke up in the middle of the night, all freaked out about not remembering what time my flight was and omg I hadn't pre-ordered a cab to get to the airport. Only I'm not going anywhere. I was so freaked out there's lingering freaked out feelings. What is with you, brain?

I think the weather is practicing for this weekend, when it is supposed to snow. Apparently, it wants to make sure it gets it right. o_o
