Slow news day...

"Oh no! The temperature has fallen below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. It is sub-freezing. Let us go out to the street outside the studio and interview random passersby."

Seriously. There was just some lady claiming that even though the meteorologists say the windchill is 19 degrees now, it actually feels like 10. Um, yeah... you can't just make up random small numbers and claim that's how cold it is! Science does not work like that.

I <3 local news.

I'm so entertained at this because it DOES seem super cold to me right now! But in Seattle the local news was the same way, only they freaked when the temperature strayed out of the 45 to 65 degree range. ;) So now when I hear my friends in Seattle complain about it being "SO COLD" in the 30s, I scoff and say get back to me when it's in the teens. It's all about perspective... ;)

Don't get me wrong, I do think it's cold... just not "OMG let's all spaz out" cold. It just cracks me up that they have the news anchors reminding people to wear layers. Well, duh, it's cold outside!

I think I might like living somewhere with milder temperatures. I like having distinguishable seasons, but not the swing between very cold in the winter and very hot in the summer.
