39 F here in Seattle--apparently they were expecting a 20% chance of snow this morning in the city. For whatever reason, near-freezing in Seattle feels to me like it's almost as cold as Milwaukee when it was in the teens/20's, Either I've lost the thick(er) skin I built up over the past few years, don't have enough body fat, or the higher humidity here in the winter saps your warmth away quicker than the low humidity in the Midwest.
For the life of me I still don't understand how my wife and I keep shocking each other--there's so much static in our unit. I figure the carpet must have been installed incorrectly because we never had issues like this in the Midwest, where it's generally known you'll build up some static charges in the dry heat of winter, particularly if you have carpeting.
