Winter Notes
My favorite comment thread of the week has to be this one at Pandagon, where people are giving an Austinite advice on how to drive in cold weather, and there are several people giving explanations of what an ice scraper is and how to use it.
Closer to home, I agree wholeheartedly with Evan's post about winter, specifically, nitwits who are deranged enough to actually want a blizzard:
Friends who have visited me in March and as late as early April have compared Boston to a bombed out city, leaving its inhabitants covered in wool, hats, scarves, those awful leg warmers, and no exposed skin except that of their ghostly white faces, noses dripping due to the cold wind. It's lovely.
Couldn't agree more.

My personal favorite was one of tzs' (tzs's?):
"We used to regularly get snowed in for 3 days (country roads in New England, only 10 miles out from town but in the wrong direction.)"
And surely uphill both ways.
