The temperature inside your office is 52 degrees at 8:00 am!
The thermastat that controls my office also controls a room for experimental mice. They, ahem, are more important then the human employees!
Particularly, this human employee!
No problemo...I have my space heater on, and I am toasting my buns!

It's gonna get down to the single digits here in River City tonight - waiting for the bus in the morning will be an experience.

It was 6 below at alarm time this morning. There was a 2-hour school delay while the diesel in the buses ungooed. It's a balmy 2 above now.

It's going to be in the 50's today.
It started raining when I had to drop off the girls this morningt, but then it stopped once Emma and her drums had been safely delivered to school.

How close are y'all to the big snow?
Enough already. It's my fault! Get over it!
That'll be $10, please.

When I was a teacher in Michigan my classroom would often be in the 40s when I got there on Monday mornings. They didn't heat the school on the weekends to save money.
I'd let my first period class wear their coats to class. The combination of 30 warm bodies and the school heating system would usually get the room warmed up by 2nd period.
Opposite problem in warm weather. No AC in the building and my last hour class seemed to always be junior high kids that had gym the previous period. It would get very hot in my room and that contributed to it getting smelly enough that even I noticed.
Kind of chilly here in Houston today. It's only in the 40s and raining. It was in the 30s when I left my apartment this morning.
No matter where you go, there you are.

Maddie's Algebra II/Trig class starts at 6:50 in the morning. At Back to School Night the teacher told us that because the heat didn't usually start warming the room until 8:00 a.m., kids were welcome to bring blankets to class and he would store them.

I didn't have any space to let anyone leave anything in my room. Even if I had space I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have wanted to be responsible for it.
And it was usually only a problem on Monday morning. Well, kids complained that it was cold a lot more than that but they complained any time it wasn't exactly 72 degrees. Sometimes even then. One of Mr. Jackson's most uttered phrases was "Learn to be more temperature tolerant."
No matter where you go, there you are.

Blankets? Do kids in the OC not have coats or sweaters?

Coats and sweaters work until it gets below 60 degrees, then we freeze.
Maddie has to be careful about the size of her coats, because if they are too big, they won't fit in her PE locker.
