extreme cold
Jan. 29th, 2019 07:48 pmThey didn't used to close schools for the cold, only for snow, because people couldn't get there. The forecast for tomorrow has a high of -10°F, and it will be -20 (with 20mph winds) when people are supposed to be going out in the morning. Not only are all the schools closing, but many businesses are as well.
There were a lot of accidents this morning. The salt compound they use apparently isn't effective at whatever low temperature we hit this morning. Wait, it was only zero, so somebody wasn't doing their job.
It was just below zero when I left work today. My car struggled a little bit to start. It's supposed to be about ten degrees colder tomorrow. Cindy's office is closed tomorrow, so she might drive me in so I don't have to leave my car in the windy parking lot all day. I could just take the day off, but I've already burned up six vacation days since last Monday.
It's supposed to pass -20°F the next two nights. That's rare around here. It happens about once a decade.
