Freezing rain is the worst. Ice has killed two cars in my household, so I definitely don't mess around with it.

We haven't had an ice (or snow) storm here in a few years now. Since about 2012 or so. Ice storms are more common, but not very good. It's started fires on power lines before. Last one we had knocked out the power and took down sooooo many branches. It was kinda ceeepy overnight. You'd hear a lot of cracks and snapping before a loud THUD is heard from large branches breaking off and hitting the ground. Hard to tell if it was gonna be a branch or a large tree.

Yeah ice is serious, builds up on powerlines and trees, freezes pipes, cracks open ceilings and causes accidents. Back in 2015 we had a major amount of snow and freezing rain, some big buildings in town like this old sports arena had giant icicles on them overhanging sidewalks, bigger than me, and when it all started to thaw that spring the ceiling of where I was living literally cracked open in multiple places and started to leak heavily. Eventually had to find a new places to live over it.

It was 14°C today (57°F for those using that unit, and 287.15K for the lols).

It's late January. It was snowing on Sunday. These temperatures are lies and will lead us to believe that it's getting warmer already when it's just an unseasonable week, and for that I am angry.

But also much warmer.

Another hot weekend for Xanthe to enjoy xD

Right now there is thunder and lightning which is pretty cool though. And rain but it probably won't last long. Smells good though.

Yeah it's gonna be like 90 and 99 huh? That's about what. 40 and 43?

I'd much prefer the rain and more rain. I welcome the thunder and lightning too. Ah, yeah. The smell the rain creates when it first starts to rain. It is quite nice huh?

I love thunder and lightning. I'd rather have that than even fireworks.

Lately, it's just been mostly cold around here with some wind. Nothing too chaotic, but cold is cold.
