...we bought so much safety gear for the house. News days with stories like this make me go cold inside. Only now are we slightly dialing back the freak-out when Noodle gets out of our sight outside the house for a moment or two, even though I can distinctly remember being five and spending hours thrashing around in snowbanks, making forts and having a grand old time by myself.
I don't want to speculate about the circumstances in this case - it suffices to say it'll send you flying down to the store for doorknob safety covers, especially if you've got kids with the wandering bug.

GETTING SN...NO, WAIT, IT'S WIND
So that means it's single digit windchills. You think that's cold? You have no idea what cold is.
The forecast for Christmas Day in Ojmjakon? Overcast, high 29 below.
Christmas Eve? 63 below.
Wow. Just...wow.

YOU BETCHA
Hooray for insanely cold weather. Bring it on, straight through April - because when it's freakin' cold out, Noodle and Beast drop their arguments with Mommy and Daddy over what to wear, and right quick they do. I get them hustled out the door right on time and looking like a couple of Fargo extras; Noodle has even taken to talking like a little Marge Gunderson on mornings like this: "It's cold, oh yah, Daddy..."
Spent a moment wondering what'll happen if she tells her kindergarten teacher "prowler needs a jump, hon."
And here we are, and it's a beautiful day.

CUE JOHN FACENDA
Giants fans have been spending this week obsessively checking the Weather Channel for the long-range forecast for the NFC title game at Green Bay - as of right now it's calling for tailgate-party Sunday highs of 6 degrees. Which means it'll be colder come game time, which is around 5:30 Green Bay time.
Excellent.
ESPN is running a great feature on what you need to know about foul-weather football. If your team plays in a dome or someplace down south like Miami or Dallas or Arizona or San Diego, you can skip that link. This one's strictly for the menfolk.
And of course we have the politicos from New York and Wisconsin exchanging pre-game bets. Which is problematic for the Wisconsinites when they're betting against Bloomberg and Schumer and bratwurst is treif. It's a good thing they like their fatty food in Wisconsin and have plenty of plan B's.
Meanwhile, here's Giuliani giving a Packers fan the brushoff. Congrats to him for finally figuring out the right way to handle this after his rooting-for-the-Sawx fiasco of last fall, but the really smart move would have been to sign the hat
GO BEARS! LOVE, BARACK OBAMA
