It was single digits when I took that pic so I thought it was appropriate.

So there's an annoying commercial (but I repeat myself …) for one of those voice command devices that you're supposed to hook up to your entire house. Turn on the radio, call my mom for me, play me Flex's favourite Celine Dion song, etc. This mopey girl looks outside to see it's snowing and asks the device what the temperature is, and the device says, "The temperature is negative eight degrees." Negative eight. Not minus eight, negative eight. There's so much about the commercial that I hate but the fact that that gizmo is programmed to say negative instead of minus for temperature makes me more annoyed every time I see it.

Eight below is also acceptable, tho not as common. Now that I think about it, it was more common when I was a kid (along with saying five above, but only when it was around freezing).

This week-long subzero streak in New England has been the worst cold snap ever for the extremely painful male condition of "inversion".

Some things were just not intelligently designed for burrowing inward against the cold. :twitch:

One of my neighbours is confusing me. Since early last week, their furnace clearly hasn't been working properly. He's been coming outside a couple times each day to look at the exhaust pipe to confirm, nope, nothing is coming out (our respective furnace exhausts more or less face each other on the side of the house, so we can't help but see when he walks between the houses to check). We haven't seen a furnace repair truck the entire time, so … they haven't called one? I can't believe that after five or six days they haven't gotten ahold of an available repair guy. It's fucking cold here right now and if their furnace has been out all this time, the pipes must have frozen by now. I'd go out and chat but he's not all that gregarious and, well, it's fucking cold.

Ha! No, they're decent enough people. Very quiet. They don't initiate a hello to anyone, but I have had a few conversations with the husband (a Limey, no less).

A young daughter, but we think they're all staying elsewhere—friends, a hotel—while the furnace is fucked, and he's just popping in every day to see if, I dunno, it's magically fixed itself. I can't imagine they'd be staying in a house without a working furnace during this cold spell. Bizarre.

I assume most of those conversations revolve around condom pastrami.
