Got that right

So, according to the weatherman on the 5 o'clock news, we're heading into 60-70 STRAIGHT hours of below-zero weather, the coldest stretch in 3 years. Biggie blast of arctic air comin' our way.

Oh, joy.



He then cheerfully added that, although the winters here were "trending milder" (they are??) the "upside," such as it may be, is that this bitter stretch would surely help thin the population here. In other words, wimpy Californians like me would finally throw up our hands and leave the natives to their ice.

Yes. Oh, yes, indeed.
