X-rays came back negative.

So he is not your son or he does not have a foot?

So I got a job working in a state agency. Great cushy govt job. Right. Offices throughout the state are closed due to the snow. So I get a series of texts from Austin, the unit, my manager, and the office manager. The offices are closed on Tuesday and Wednesday. We are expected to work from home. Hurricane came through on my work from home day last year. I love getting email and text telling me we are expected to work from home because the office are closed due to no power. Really guys,no power, no router and no work.

Waiting for the car to thaw out. -20 F is just too much for it. If the block heater doesn't do the trick I might have to instacart a battery charger.

You still plug it in right? I remember having to plug mine in all of the time in Grand Forks. You know I though they did that everywhere until I left North Dakota

That's why I never transferred from Detroit to MSP when I worked for Northwest Airlines. A bad winter day in the Detroit area might hit a low of -10F but rarely. And the wind is only about 1/2 as bad as you get in MN. When I worked in the upper peninsula of Michigan back in the mid 1980's, I saw -35F a couple of mornings, My car started OK, but I had to wait to let it warm up for about an hour for it to actually move! Had to wait for the automatic transmission fluid to actually warm up enough for the fluid to flow thru it! Never had that happen sense. Also had to keep scraping the inside of the windshield as it would keep frosting up from our breath!. The old timers up there talked about taping a 2nd windsheild to the outside of the one installed in the car to prevent that from happening!

Our winters have been so mild lately I'd gotten out of the habit.

Oh the memories of Grand Forks. I always hated that!

Know just what ya mean, pal. It is 59F and raining outside right now, with a bitter 3kt wind. No way am I venturing out into that frozen hell.
