[Dixonary] Round 2471: VAPULATION—Progress Report

[Dodi Schultz]

Greetings from the Big Snow-Blanketed Apple. The cheers you hear in the
background are those of New York schoolkids, who've been given the day off.
The rest of us are mushing off to somebody else's offices or feeling
thankful if we don't have to.

Here's the VAPULATION situation:

As of this writing, I have in hand— (well, in inbox—) eminently believable
definitions from Johnny Barrs, Glen Boswell, Tim Bourne, Chris Carson, Dave
Cunningham, Steve Graham, Keith Hale, Judy Madnick, Millie Morgan, Mike
Shefler, Nancy Shepherdson, Guerri Stevens, and Dan Widdis.

The rest of you have almost 7.5 hours to submit your defs, the deadline being:

West to east across this continent: 3, 4, 5, or 6 p.m. today (you know
where you are).
In England: 11 p.m. today.
In the Netherlands: midnight today.
In Melbourne: Saturday, 10 a.m.

Hope you and others in the affected areas are hunkered down with a
suitable supply of food and other essential items and things get back to
normal quickly.

We here in SC are having what we now call a bitterly cold day -
temperatures below freezing for most of the day! When we lived in New
England our weather here today would be called a "sunny, mild, winter
day". How attitudes change!

=========================================

We're holding at a bearable 15 F. right now, expected to drop tonight to 5
degrees F. (that's minus 15 C.) with what AccuWeather calls a "RealFeel" of
minus 19 F. (not sure WHAT that is in Celsius terms). But tomorrow it's
expected to warm up all the way to 26 F. (only 3 below 0 C.).

There IS no "normal" in New York. As those who live, or even have only
visited, here know, we can experience all four seasons in a single week.
The first day of winter was a lovely first day of spring; T-shirts and
shorts were seen on the streets. We're now, according to one local
reporter, having the coldest cold since 1994.

At -40 it is the same no matter what system you use.

Albany is FREEZING -- but we had a long list of places to go today (including a dental appointment that we didn't want to have to reschedule), so in our car equipped with brand-new all-season tires (which are definitely not the same as the "all-season tires" that were on our car when we were in Florida!), out we went. It wasn't far from zero degrees F. and we had a total of approximately 11" of snow. Fortunately, we did fine...and we're finally home for the night at 8:35 p.m.

Hope all is well with everyone else!
