It was a crazy January (with an inadvertently extended sabbatical, thanks to the ice storm down south at the time of the Joint Math Meetings!) and now February is coming in like, well, February. Rochester is in the middle of a winter storm, and though it doesn’t quite seem to be the WINTER STORM that the forecasters predicted, there’s still a respectable amount of snow and ice. Leading to conversations like these:
Last night, looking at the closings online:
Person 1 : Wow, they’ve even closed all the Curves gyms in the area, except for one that’s on a delay. They list them all separately — that’s weird.
Person 2: Isn’t that a complicated what of describing it? If they just made one announcement it would be Simple Closed Curves.

And then this morning…
Person 1: Can you take the kids to school tomorrow? I’m giving an exam and want to allow plenty of time to drive slowly if the roads are still icy.
Person 2: Is that a Margin of Terror?
