"Fit is always very important," she agreed gravely.

Except for those of us who had to switch off during the storms

I'm down here in Hurricane Alley, so we don't do snow Crawler at the bottom of my screen says we have a freeze watch for the next 4 days or so as it'll be below freezing [20sF]. You lot may sneer, but it's murder on the hibiscus and red bud that got fooled by the unseasonable highs.

Wind is blowing a hoolie, but at least we didn't do tornados this time.

Hurricane Alley, I bet that isn't the name they put on the tourism brochures.

Not much wind up here, we are too sheltered from the mountains, although we are getting another 4" of snow today (hardly worth mentioning). I have to say snow is over-rated you are not missing anything.

Still I will take the snow anyday over hurricanes and tornados that will blow your house off to Oz.

Well may the wind stay away from you, and watch for ice on the roads, our thoughts are with you as you weather out the storms.

Well, all you have to do is get liquid cooling for your computers, then run it out to heat your pool, pump and heating in one.

Of course you would need a few extra workstations should keep your pool warm even in those cool tempatures. But just think of the crunching you could do! Well, the budget would still be shot, probally even worst, but you can't have it all.

I have a hard time feeling sorry for someone who still has water in their pool, everthing here has about 4 feet of ice on it.

You must live near the coast to still have fauna (like hibiscus and red bud) & pools (with water not ice).

All the best, keep crunching, I am going to curl up with a hot apple cider and dream of palm trees.
