Its 22 degrees this morning in Dallas, Texas

The guy next door left his sprinklers on and my driveway was a sheet of ice !

I suggest altering the path of that sprinkler to spray down the front of his door. That would be interesting! :)

Are you tempted to buy studded snow tires or chains now?

And why the heck is the US not on the Metric system? They started teaching it in anticipation of switching a quarter century ago.

I am actually fairly good with the metric system, have a degree in geology most of that measurements were metric. I too am surprised that we have gone metric. What other countries still use the english system aside from America I used to know, but no longer.

I've never had such a lousy winter. Freakin 'cold' is not descriptive enough. The proverbial 'witches tit' sounds warm.

Why not metric? Because we'd all have to get 'spanners' instead or wrenches.

Russian Empire switched to Metric 100 years ago.

But we still have many things in old measurement system. Gun calibers are the most obvious example.

Food cans, pencils, cigarettes, many other things have dimensions like 76.2mm, 152mm, 305mm. All because the tools and instruments were designed more then 100 years ago, and new ones were made by the same measures only to be compatble.

BTW, all water pipes are still in inches.
