As of Wednesday, Jan 28th 2026, we're still here.

So it’s eight degrees here in New York City right now, on the downslide through the night to a low of TWO DEGREES. You rub those degrees together, maybe you get enough warmth to get to STILL VERY COLD.

I have lived in extremely cold cities for over a quarter of my life.¹ I am well aware of snow and along with snow, ice. We’re doing big things with ICE, folks, I think the technical term for it is murder! Ice and Snow, two of my favorite American Gladiators. Remember American Gladiators? Pyro! Gyro! The girl ones! You’d try to run across that big open field and they’d just shoot you with the tennis ball cannon. bing bing bing that thing was incredible, we should bring it back, maybe with real bullets. Anyway, what’s on the prompter… weather!

Like I was saying, although I’m used to winter weather, my bones were and are warm weather. Every person has a range of temperatures they know how to roll with, and although mine goes up to about 110… it only goes down to about 20. So when we are in low single digits, it’s just a straight no from me dawg.

But I’ve been meaning to get to snowballs. Specifically this internet trend of people making a snowball, holding a lighter under it, and asking why it doesn’t instantly melt.

Anyone can see how we get to this place. Snowball is ice. Lighter is fire. Fire melt ice. Why fire no melt snow ball?

And at this point there are two choices, which I think really delineate if you should be allowed to drive a car or if your ID should be marked “Dumb As Hell - Do Not Give Keys.”
