Well, drat.
You know, there’s a reason why I moved out of the Midwest. And no, it’s not so I would miss the snow and cold even more when I returned. Oh well. All these times I’ve watched PZ tweet about getting stuck driving in blizzards… it’s only appropriate that I get to experience it myself. At least this was a good reminder that yes, I should actually pack a winter coat, and gloves, and a scarf, and layers…
…I’m still banking on a group from Hawaii inviting me for next spring break. Anyone down there listening?
You’re going for the beer, right!?
You have an open invitation to come down to the Caribbean for Spring Break, but I’m not paying your speaker fee. ;)
Maybe you’re going for the cheese? Get some nice wedge-shaped headgear? :-)
Because Minnesota Rocks!! (Despite the sub zero temperatures and the feet of snow) and i’ll be there.
I shall make you intensely jealous and mention that I’ve been invited to speak at the Society for Developmental Biology meetings in April.In Hawaii.
I met a great woman there, and maybe you’ll meet a great guy there?
Bah! That’s not cold — it barely even qualifies as chilly! A few more degrees and it’s shorts weather. Try Yellowknife in January if you want cold.
Temperature is so relative. Being a Minnesotan, those temps are sweatshirts temps for me. It’s actually been a few weeks since I have even warn my jacket. Except for the precipitation is pretty gorgeous weather. I guess you would have to have been here in January to understand.
Try the Central Valley. It’s raining right now, but Summer officially started yesterday.
NWT represent! What’s cooler than being cool? Canada. Not sure what the weather’s like in Yellowknife but in GP it’s -15 (5 F)and it hasn’t stopped snowing since Christmas.
Welcome to MN, Jen. I’m looking forward to hearing your talk on Thurs.
It’s not so bad, really. I’ll be there to see ya. There’s warm places around campus at the U and you’ll be in really good company. If you think one or two days is bad, image what the rest of us poor schlubs have been doing since October.
Well come on down to Texas, we need all the intelligent freethinkers we can get!
Wow, high 20’s and low to middle 30’s! Beautiful warm weather for you. Maybe you’ll get a tan!Oh wait! You’re using that other old-fashioned scale aren’t you?Celsius rules! Go Metric!
Or maybe she’ll meet a great girl there!
Well, the Hawaii group has talked about bringing a speaker over…. ;)
