Thinking of just getting a flamethrower or mixing napalm or something. How long would, say, ten square feet of napalm burn in the dead of winter up here?

Depends on how many people you are using as a wick.

Plenty of wood stashed away and no fireplace, so could theoretically build a small pile in the middle of the yard and light away.

10F out, wind chill of -10F (which doesn't affect me anyway since I have no bare skin exposed out there, but it sounds cool), and in the off chance the kid has school tomorrow, he now has a clear sidewalk to the bus stop.

Fuck the north.

Welp, school is already delayed 2 hours. Salt doesn't work when it is this cold; peeps are going into ditches on the road by the school.

When global warming chills the planet, you're shoveling your own damn driveway.

Is that what global warming is doing, as of this month? So hard to keep track.

Anyway, school's closed.

Hasn't gotten above freezing since the storm. I still have ice on the driveway.

Iced over like an ex-wife this past night. Only a half assload of snow got dropped this time, but enough to warrant another two hours of fucking shoveling.

By the by, anyone know about weaseling around non-compete clauses in IT recruiter contracts? I'm being fucked by both my actual and technical employers and the technical one looks like a lot easier target.

Just a little surprised that even LA would have those temps this time of year.

Apparently there's a chance for 3-4" of snow in Raleigh for the first possible white Christmas since like 1949.
