Things are going well. We have returned to Seattle winter -- chilly but not freezing, cold rain, pitch black at night.

You know, lovely. *\;-)

Our winter has been pretty average too. I feel really sorry for the people who live in areas where they are not used to it.

They are using sand from Scarborough Beach in England for grit. Even I_T has been dealing with snow, and weather, not normal in Ireland.

It seems that the jet steam is not affecting you and I as much. It IS allowing cold air down the central US, the center of the European Continent, and into Asia.

Why do I keep thinking of the movie ‘Day after tomorrow’?

I'm in Canada, heh. A long cold period could be seriously bad. The land my house is built on, used to be under 2 miles of ice.
Oh well. I've read that freezing to death doesn't hurt very much. I hope that is true, because I found an Asian ladybug in the house the other day, and I threw it outside.
