    Andrew Cuomo said everyone should stay off the highways during the extreme winter weather, except newborns.

    Stay safe! Keep warm!

    Figured that'd be a Republican thing, as they tend to care about babies right up to the point they're born and might cost them money.


    Right now it's -31, with a -32F wind chill.
    early this morning it was -24F with a -58 wind chill.

    People are freaking out. This isn't that abnormal. we get down to -40 wind chills a couple times each January/February.

    Yes, we want them to live, but then we want full bitching rights about them needing foodstamps.

    The hype is good for me today. My kid don't have to go to school, so I get to stay in. I think it's because the superintendent of schools is a liberal, and he doesn't want to offend kids who can't afford coats.
