    I'm almost envious... It's a balmy 80°F in Houston today.

    Of course, this city shuts down at the hint of ice on the roadways...

    Glad to see you're making the most of it!

    Hi Shaun.

    Actually, we're sufficiently used to it - even though it is a fairly rare event to have the temperatures and precipitation just right for this - used to it enough that we like to sit back and think how pretty it is.

    The fire and a shot of whisky is pretty too.

    Well, warmish indeed!

    I honestly think the ice is pretty!

    Absolutely. There. Not here. Atlanta, IIRC, is the second highest major population center in the USA.
    We have ridges everywhere you look. Anywhere near sea level, ice is almost not much of a problem, so
    thanks for taking the burden off us.

    Yes, I asked a former coworker in Canberra and he said they got up to about 105F last week... here last week, however, we got down to about -14 or lower around the same time... I would far rather be where he is!

    Yes, me too. That sort of heat is bearable provided it doesn't go on for too long.
