The only way I figure out whether 96 degrees Fahrenheit is a good or bad thing is to convert in my head to get a general idea of the Celsius temperature. Celsius to Fahrenheit: I double the temperature and then add 25 to get a general idea. Fahrenheit to Celsius: I half the temperature and then subtract 15. Ninety-six sounds good to me, but perhaps not to others. :D I hate Fahrenheit!

It's lovely out! We just walked from the N line down to the place we're staying on Battery Place, and there are still many extremities that aren't frozen. The trick is to dress in layers and walk really fast... :') P.S. Enjoy the ice pellets tomorrow! Perfect weather for a nice rollerblade in Central Park! (evil grin) Oh, come on. It’s lovely out!

Is it a bunny or a fox? I think you are not a large enough person to wear a whole moose around your neck. You don't see me going outside today either, do you? It is a day for cleaning one's house, and I say that advisedly, as a dedicated herder of the dust bunnies that inhabit my bedroom. you have a live arctic animal?? Is it a bunny or a fox?

At least 31 F is warm enough for snow. Which, okay, as bright sides go, is like saying that the pan in which you'll be fried at least has onions in it. The secret to going outside in this weather is (a) silk long underwear and (b) gigantic down coat that makes you look like the Michelin Man. Also a hat and scarf and mittens, maybe a balaclava, and if you are really lucky a live Arctic animal willing to lie still on your neck and offer you its body heat. Standing under the heat lamps attached to the awnings of swank hotels is also acceptable behavior. O hai, I was just whingeing about this very thing! At least 31 F is warm enough for snow.
