Currently 12°F windchill, will be below zero wind chill tomorrow. Possibly as low as -10 wind chills forecast for the state. The last couple weeks we've had several cold & wet days alternating with a single sunny & low 70s day in between. Now this. By middle of next week it'll be highs in the 50s & lows in upper 30s with sun. Arkansas weather is Chaotic Evil alignment, people.
Complaint: The sky is falling and the ground is rapidly turning white.
Hahaahaha admit it just like me if we were younger we'd both be outside yelling "It's SNOWING" cause it's not gonna be up to our knees and will disappear in a couple days .....
Temp 4F this morning here. Mini-adventure to nose doctor was useless (again). He did nothing but took one (1) minute to look up my nose and essentially say "Yup, it was bleeding, don't touch your nose. Pay the cashier on your way out. Bye. See you in a month.")
To which I thought: Um no. No you won't.
But it was so cold outside that I gave up on walking, uphill, to TimHortons, and just came home. Mid afternoon now and I decided to finish off the last ounce in that dusty old bottle of peach schnapps. Mmm... fruity liquid fire.
...yeah that was my drill the last two weeks as I was trying to use the heat sparingly as possible so I wouldn't get socked with an "exorbitant" power bill. I'd turn the heater on for about 30 minutes, before bedtime (enough to warm he are a by the bed) then turn it off and dive under the stack of blanket I have.
As to weather reports I forgot who it was (on this thread) who routinely report in the local weather conditions where he lived in Australia.
Winter mini-adventures.

Temperature here this morning is 11F at 8:00AM. Fine snow falling from the sky. Roads covered with white and brown mix snow/slush, very windy at times earlier in the morning as it howled around outside my bedroom. With yesterday's and today's snow, on top of the ice, my driveway isn't slippery anymore,
but the ice is still underneath waiting to tumble a careless ancient person on the next melty day.
I'd reactivated my subscription to BritBox TV a month or so ago to catch the final (very short) season of "Vera", but still haven't cancelled it. Now I see that the 14th season of "Death In Paradise" has started. Not sure I like the new head detective. Yeah, he's just as much a spoiled London boy as all the others were, but this time he's not just overdressed, or weird, or goofy, now he's a snob. How long before living in a tropical paradise breaks him too?
I like murder mysteries, especially if they are complicated enough and told well enough that I have a chance of catching a few clues and formulating my own solutions before the reveal at the end. Brain food, not brain rot.
Complaint: I think my landlord has spoken to my neighbors in the other half of the house about the heating bill, because the house hasn't been as warm lately.
Oh well, it was nice while it lasted. At least I can say that I hadn't been contributing to costs by excessive use of electric heaters. Either that or the new tenants are paying the heat bill now instead of the landlord. Either way, my arrangement is still that I pay a now 16 year old, fixed fee for rent, heat, water, and garbage. Although, amenable to a small increase, I'm not gonna rock the boat and offer it until the landlord broaches the subject.
Complaint: Just checked my Amazon orders, and discovered that my recently ordered package of mixed nuts arrived yesterday and has suffered sub freezing temperatures in the roadside mailbox for at least 18 hours. Hmmm..., do mixed nuts suffer from freezing?
Google is my friend: Looks like I'm OK in the frozen nuts arena.
Complaint: Medical bills: They just keep oozing out of the woodwork. Local hospital now wants another $100 for some reason or another from my heart attack & other emergency visits four months ago.
And I also got a papers from the local volunteer ambulance company for me to sign so that they can charge my insurance company $1600 for each of two trips, to the hospital!!!!
Of course I'm eagerly anticipating how much of that I'm gonna have to pay.
Canadians, Brits and Europeans can brag/complain all they want about the quality of their inexpensive medical services, but we Americans love to get unexpected medical bills for month after month. It's part of our entertainment.
It is a white wonderland outside!
(Looks out window) No white wonderland here.
Not so much of a complaint as an amusement, but... here are a bunch of us talking about how winter is making a serious attempt to kill us all, and a "winter sweater" drops in the store today that's almost more not-sweater than sweater.
Meanwhile I'm over here in multiple layers of clothes that cover everything.
ps1borg? I think.
last night was -25C (-13F), currently its +7C (45f) looks like the arctic outflow has moved on...
It is white ouside here too; but not really a wonderland; maybe more like a bad dream.
I just filed taxes after I found a way to use free TurboTax service. I didn't work enough to pay for any paid service nor the fee to pay the fee I would need to pay the first fee with my tax refund.
Are you a popcicle yet?
something went majorly wrong
What went wrong? Did TurboTax not file? Or did the IRS not accept your return?
I went to my irs account and found 2 extra w2s on file. Both in towns I don't know exactly where they are and I have never worked there. I think my potato is burning!
It was a sweet potato and it seems okay. The leaked juices were what I was smelling that was burnt.
Are you seeing them directly on the IRS website or are they showing up in Turbotax? If they are not from firms that you have worked at (firms can have a different address than the address you worked at) then you may have to contact IRS.
It is from two firms I don't know anything about until I saw the irs website.
Are you sure the "Free Turbotax" was legitmate?
If you are sure the two W2s are not legitimate then you need to contact the IRS.
Working on it
...thank you. As I recall he lives in Australia (Melbourne).
Can I go to bed?
