PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Subfreezing temperatures across much of the U.S. left millions of Americans facing dangerous cold as Arctic storms left four dead and knocked out electricity to tens of thousands in the Northwest, brought snow to the South, and walloped the Northeast with blizzard conditions that forced the postponement of an NFL game.

Side note: This is an example of why we should call it climate change instead of only global warming. Nitwits can’t understand global warming involves massive fluctuations of temperatures worldwide.
I'm mildly partial to 'Global Weirding' - with more energy in the system, the weirder the weather becomes.

It's fine, just make sure you still get to work, your health and safety means nothing if your boss can't have a 3rd vacation home.
For all the people talking about climate change vs global warming and climate denial, please remember: this used to happen all the time.
Reminder to let your faucets drip overnight and keep the cabinet doors open under the sink to avoid freezing pipes. Stay safe!
I haven't checked yet to see if my little dog has decided to poop in the house yet. He's a chihuahua/dachshund mix so he has a short coat, but he refuses to wear a sweater or a jacket, so he won't go out the dog door. My big dog doesn't care. She's got a big thick coat, so she goes outside and does her favorite winter activity- eat snow. She doesn't care if it's -40. That said, it's currently -6, -16 with wind chill (in American dumbness units) here in west-central Indiana, so we'll probably be doing some mopping today.
Edit: Yep, he pooped in the house.
I have a very similar looking mutt and she also fucking HATES the cold. Or rain. Or wind. Ive seen her hold her morning pee till lunch time if the weathers shit enough. Thankfully, no house shitting yet but she's 5 so she has a few more years till she can't hold it anymore.
