The Button

This cold weather, now at -11C, makes the morning drive to work a little painful until the car gets warm, which is normally about the time I drive through the gates to the office carpark!
But the other morning while I was driving to work I noticed a small button in the center console. "What is this?" I muttered to myself. I've noticed I mutter a lot these days. I pressed the button to see what would happen. Nothing happened. Oh well just a blank button after all. I continued my journey.
About 2 to 3 minutes later my rear started to feel warm, then it got positively hot. "What is this?" I muttered yet again. See I told you I muttered a lot. The warm toasty feeling spread from my rear up my back, this is really nice I thought. The cold morning no longer had any effect on me, I felt positively tropical...what snow and ice?

Finally my brain kicked in and I realized this car is fitted with a bum warmer!!!!

"It" came in the night

Yesterday was a weird day. In the morning the temperature was around -5C, by lunch time it was -11C. In the afternoon I went out to the rigs for meetings. The tundra was quiet but the sky was very agitated, the temperatures continued to fall and held at -15C....nippy to say the least!!

I asked one of the guys on the rig why was the sky so strange, "oh" he said "it's coming" then walked off grinning, no further explanation.

I got back to the office around 6:30 in the evening and I asked one of the guys in the office what was happening to the weather, he said" well, it's coming".

Mystified I went to the apartment for a meal and a cozy bed.

During the night "it" did come.....the wind roared like a demented animal and the windows rattled. I woke up and went over to the window, I have never seen anything like it, the snow was coming down and the wind blowing like I've never seen it. The snow whipped up by the wind cut visibility down to a few yards.

"It" was the first blizzard of the winter...wow!!
