Don’t mind me, I’m just gonna go stand outside for like 2 hours to help distribute cookies to our service unit and pick up my troop’s girl delivered/cookie booth inventory.

From the Vault:

Currently 4am where I live and I just learned what a "frostquake" is because I was so scared of the loud popping noises in the house.

Apparently it's like an earthquake....except the ground outside expands from the freezing temperatures.

How cold is it you may ask? Currently -17F but feels like -44F with wind chill and only getting colder throughout the day 😨 I'm so thankful the place I work at is closed today, but that's not the case for many others. And honestly screw every business owner who puts their greed over their employees' safety. Who the hell is going to go grocery shopping in this weather? Or eat at a restaurant? Or leave their house in any way unless they're forced to?

Apparently temperatures in Chicago are colder than Siberia, Mt. Everest, and Antarctica right now 🤷‍♀️ So there's that. My deepest respect for every doctor, nurse, pharmacist, mailman/woman, employee of any kind that has to go in to work today.

I live in LA where it’s nice and warm right now and seeing posts about how cold it is elsewhere made me feel bad. Especially for those who can’t heat their homes or animals out there.

I saw that Chicago was colder than Antarctica. Damn. That’s crazy.

Also is this the coldest it’s been out there? I have questions and I need answers. Hugs to everyone dealing with the cold.
