weather. Oh for FUCK'S SAKE!

I would so love some nice deep pretty snow--as the initial forecasts promised. I'm one of those carless urban people who doesn't care how deep it gets because I have long legs and good boots and a cell phone to call in late when the train is pokey. And, priority number one (aesthetics über alles) my city is so frakkin' beautiful sheathed in white!

But you know what sucks more than anything for those of us whose primary transportation mode is shanks' mare? Slush, ice, and wind. And the kind of blustery cold rain where there's no protection because the wind will break your umbrella instantly.

I'll take six inches of snow over 30 MPH of wind ANY day.

I know. We get wind here All The Effing Time; the average overall windspeed in this state is 13 mpg, IIRC. Which is good inasmuch as we get part of our electricity from windpower, but OTOH it's COLD in the winter - windchill right now is 0 degrees, actual temp about 20 or so.
