And they are freezing in Rochester, but no one is attempting to bring people in to rent outrageously priced condos on Lake Champlain or Lake Ontario, like they are along the Gulf Coast. Florida is getting the ‘best’ of climate change – rising sea levels to flood the state and polar vortexes to turn the flooded land into skating rinks.

It hasn’t hit 10° up here for over a week, though it might get up over 20° tomorrow and Thursday. Then, back in the deep freeze.

Someone thought if they left us out of the fridge too long, we’d go bad?

I’ve been dripping faucets in two underheated apartments. It looks like 25° for a week. I can’t work on the apartment as the concrete will have to warm up before the paint or flooring will stick. I would have a fire in the fireplace if I didn’t have a gas heater.

happy (almost) new year!
