Some geese arrived at our pond a couple days ago, apparently debating whether it was time to claim the prime nest-building site.
Today, with a temperature of 8° (-8° wind chill) and light lake effect snow, they've gone off somewhere to procrastinate a bit longer.
They probably are procrastinating over a bottle of Grey Goose at a nearby bar.
I believe in the usefulness of useless information.

I don't think we had any precip here at all and the front sped up and was pretty much over us by 9:30 AM. Still, it's been 30° all day.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Your town
didn't get shut down by a snow/ice storm and you're complaining that that temperature is barely below freezing?

Woo hoo!
The roads probably still aren't in any shape for driving, so don't feel bad about the rest of the car still being encased in ice. As long as you haven't run out of dog food, I'm sure Annie and Lizbit are happy to have you stay home.

Crack open the Weber and start grilling some hot dogs in your car. The real dogs will love it and you can pretend you're, well, grilling hot dogs in a frozen car.
Well, then

I've worked hard enough in the ice and snow to reach both serenity and sweat. It's funny how those two conditions so often accompany each other.
