I kind of seen that one coming, when I watched reports about the weather in the US the other day. Temperatures way below freezing and snow and all that. Thats really early this time, isn't it? Here its ugly, too. But more the dull, cold and rainy type of ugly, not uncommon before christmas around here.
Btw., against stress I can recommend this YouTube channel, its a live video stream of a truck driver, who is all over the US. That way you can go along interstates without actually having to drive, it has something meditative in a way. And something funny, when the guy speaks with his Texan accent, I guess thats what it is at least. And you don't have to pay for the fuel. Anyway, so here is the link:

This is just a example of course, the live stream is only on when he is working. And on his channel you find loads of previous videos. Truck loads... sorry... :)
