That's an unusual looking penguin.  

For some reason, the gifs aren't loading properly for me, so Cookie Monster it is

So ponder this penguin

I didn't know where else to post this. 

Went to bed last night at 11:30 it was -35 C or -31 F with the windchill. Woke up this morning at 6 AM to 7 C or 44.6 F  Both nostrils started bleeding right away

I love chinook winds!

Time to get out your hang-glider, Steve.

My Northern cousins from different states and origins all call it pop. Not a scientific sample, but significant.

It varies depending on where you live.  In Western New York, we call it pop, but once you start heading east, like Albany area, they call it soda.  Soda pop is just

My Northern coworkers call it pop.  Here in the South, it was soda or Coke.

The GIF reminds me of the old liquid ED joke, about Mount And Do.

I'm sorry, what???

I mean, this is hilarious, how have I not heard of it before?

Out west we call it pop, but a classic Canadian song is this. Kim Mitchell is from central Canada, but I don't know if they call it soda or not :?

Dang and I thought we were doing well to hit 50F on Monday!  It's been in the mid-40s Tues and today and my driveway still isn't completely melted

That's one of the reasons people are moving out of New York!

I ordered a bunch of stuff from a company in California last week and the tracking information provided said it was scheduled to be delivered tomorrow.  It ended up being delivered today, and when I checked at 6:30 pm, tracking stated it was delivered today at 9:19 pm.    So, apparently I am no longer on Eastern Standard Time, but am now in Future Standard Time.  I'm just happy I got my cookies a day early.

Ironic, my vitamins from Amazon, I got a notification that they would deliver tomorrow. At 2 PM a driver called my condo building and I let him in. I got home and they were outside the condo. Then a 1/2 hour ago, I got a note saying they would deliver tomorrow.

After a week of above freezing temps, you can actually see most of my driveway!  Of course, today we're back into the teens Fahrenheit and snow.  March is coming in with a roar!
