I’m in a mini-home.
Didn’t leave the cold water tap dripping in the kitchen overnight
and this morning it looks like the hose is blocked by ice.
Kitchen/Bath hot water line ok and Bathroom cold water still okay.

My first winter here...live and learn.

It’s a good thing I played golf here in Connecticut on the day before Christmas. Looks like a couple of weeks off.

Minus 0 ?? is that colder than plus 0 ?

Zero implies a ternary value range from -0 to 0 to 0+. Basically it goes from the left side of the digit (-0) to the right (0+). 0 can be represented by a bisected character similar to this Ф.

The more of a misanthropic curmudgeon I become, the more I like cold weather because it makes people MISERABLE! And that makes me HAPPY!

I figured it was due to rounding by the NWS computer. The temp was probably really - .999 or some such.

2 + 2 = 5 (for large values of two and small values of five)

It is so cold here in SE Georgia we had to mostly close the windows. It is currently 57 degrees.

Watched Godfather 2 last night on AMC.

If Michael Corelone lived on your Lake instead of Lake Tahoe, his Brother Fredo might still be alive.

At this time of year where I live the outdoor heat is only on for ten hours while heat is radiated to space for fourteen hours.

Al Gore always disappears this time of year. Probably burning fossil fuels at one of his mansions to keep warm.

Don't worry, he'll be back once all the snow and ice melts, lecturing us on "global warming" as he jets around the country in his Gulfstream.

Aww... you're breakin' my heart! Wish we were there. :-)

Hope you and Sweetie Palm had a lovely Christmas. All the best to both of you in the New Year.
