The more places I live the more I discover how fucking weird the weather is all up the west coast. I'm used to both SoCal and PNW weather systems now but what those both have in common is consistency. You will not see a 40 degree jump between two days in Seattle. You will not see a 40 degree difference ever really in San Diego.
But all the rest of you are living in some weird ass looney tunes world where it can snow one day and be 65 degrees and sunny the next and then be rainy and foggy the day after. In the tropical areas sometimes you randomly get a lightning storm in the middle of the day and you're just supposed to be okay with that.
How do you live like this? Do you just check the weather every single day? How do you make plans? You people are insane.

my favorite weather is when it’s snowing but my second favorite might be when it’s clear and sunny and somewhere between 35 and 40 degrees (2-5 degrees c). for me that means it’s cold enough I have to wear a winter coat but not so cold I have to zip it up all the way. ideal

enjoyed some saturday pancakes // hello nice to see you leg muscles i’ve been working on you 👋🏼 // my favorite neighborhood cat is back and kept me company while doing my warm up drills
SPRING TIME BABY!! 🌞🌷🌱 except we’re getting snow tomorrow and nothing has sprouted or bloomed. it was like 40 degrees and sunny, and i had to change after the picture to take off the vest but put on a slightly thicker long sleeve. it was GORGEOUS and it was such a nice run. i decided to check out a new road nearby that has consistent rolling hills and they were hard but fun! i was actively trying hard to slow myself down to keep it at an easy pace and i think i succeeded for the most part except at the last mile. i think i’m always going to kick it at the last mile, and that’s just me. splits were 11:02/10:39/9:19. i am impressed that i am starting slow and increasing pace along the run. i’ve always been the kind of runner that pressed go on the watch, went way too fast, and would inevitably blow up later in the run or need to take walking breaks. i feel like i approach running with a lot more knowledge and intent now than i did in the past and excited to see where it takes me!

A sample of Something I'm Writing, Looking for Feedback
The Great Freeze began almost 15 years ago, Caused by forces men tried to understand, but didn’t realize they caused themselves. At Least that's what the remnants of the ‘media’ think. In the span of almost 15 minutes, A normal day went from 60 degrees and sunny, to a bone chilling -40 degrees, and it's only getting colder. Countries like The United States Tried to install counter-measures against The Great Freeze, but the men working on the projects froze to death before they even got the materials unloaded, those that didn’t freeze got torn to shreds by something out in the negative hellscape. Few people managed to get off of the mainland, hoping that sunnier pastures were for them. They never made it off the boat. The best thing for us to do is either wait, or join our Kin in the piles of white death on the ground. I write this not as a warning, since that has long passed, this is effectively my obituary. I was attempting to gather wood for a fire, since when the freeze hit, I was locked out of the warm bunkers, and I broke my left leg when snow gave way to a subterranean cave. Surprisingly, the cave around me is warm, and not the hypothermic type. I cannot see my breath down here. I pray I’m alone whilst writing this but, the darkness around me of what looks to be a former city street could be watching me. I doubt I will be found but if I am, this is my story.
Locked out of a relief bunker, I managed to do pretty well for myself, making my way to what was New York, Now a Frozen over artificial mountain range of snow,metal,bodies,and glass. I wanted to go north to Canada, but with the ice on the road, my car’s gasoline tank freezing the precious fuel left inside, I wasn't going anywhere. Part of me wanted to give up, but the little voice in the back of my head kept me going. I decided to take shelter in an old office building, since it was at least going to be reliable for a few years. At this time there were people like myself still outside, either scavenging, killing or freezing. Some folk just started to wander, a glazed look in their eyes as they shuffled. I paid them no mind at the time but that quickly changed when they started getting aggressive.
The world almost seemed to just stop when snow began to fall, even the animals didn’t want anything to do with the cold. All sorts of life just seemed to quiet down, as to not let the frost find them. Of course, the frost always did find them. It was cruel, reports of deer dropping dead in the middle of city streets from hypothermia, and birds falling from the sky, into the permanent frost below. That was when we were still getting relief packages. Then the second wave of bad news hit: unlike the aggression shown before, folks began to almost relish the thought of bringing someone else down with them into the snow. Even the Animals get like this. These things which I have called “Frost binders” haven’t been seen in a long time, mostly because their entire MO was suicide with extra steps, but Frost Binder encounters still are a common enough occurrence. Now I just see it as mercy killings. I managed to get out of the city about 10 years ago. Once I started to notice something odd, the buildings around me began to groan and creak in an agonizing way. I managed to find a garage containing a freshly fueled, Thawed car, and left before I could find out why the buildings were singing their song. I went south and found myself passing Philly. I didn’t stay long when I heard that bands of marauders had broken open the relief bunkers and massacred the inhabitants. I tried to keep the car going but it broke down right outside Aberdeen. I decided to set up residency here, and decided to use an abandoned little cabin right by Swan creek. I managed to get a few blankets and food from what once was a nearby market, now a frozen shell of what it once was.

Y'know what gets me about the shameless timeline??? THEIR FUCKING WEDDING.
We claim it's March 21st 2020. That's when the episode aired, that's when the wedding supposedly happened, fine, great.
HERES THE THING!!
When Debbie suggests having the wedding at the park, Ian says "it's gonna be 40 degrees with a chance of snow"
AND YET in the days before his anniversary, Ian is swimming in the pool and sitting outside with his sunbathing neighbors.
Also, in the days before their wedding (meaning EARLY MARCH in CHICAGO in the MIDWEST UNITED STATES) they're walking around in light jackets, it's sunny and there's no snow or even hint that it's winter.
My personal theory is that the wedding actually happened on OCTOBET 21st 2019, before COVID starts.
This also makes sense because when season 11 starts (~6+ months later) they're still pretty closely following quarantine procedures. Anyway, thoughts??
Oh Alicia you sweet soul boy do I have thoughts!! 😂😂 They jist of them is 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️. I'm not there yet at all, but somewhere around season four, John Wells really forgets how time works/stops giving a fuck about continuity. So by the time seasons 10/11 come around, time has no meaning. All common sense is gone.
What actually happens is the first three seasons, I think Wells preferred keeping time compact. So the first three seasons technically happened within like a year and a half, not the three years it was filmed over. What Wells didn't consider is that the children he hired will go through puberty, and the 10 year old Debbie that filmed season 1 won't look 11/12 in season 4 since she's now 14. So major unexplained time jump. It went from 2012 to 2014 in three weeks (we'll get there. This is the thing thay drives me the most crazy).
As for the wedding, the episode aired in January of 2020 and I assume filmed around then too, so therefore snow! Cold! Etc! Then the anniversary episode aired in April 2021 and filmed in March. I don't know if covid delayed things and they expected to film earlier and couldn't but the script was written and they didn't wanna rewrite. Or maybe I'm giving them too much credit and they're just lazy as fuck. I don't know. But it really wouldn't have been hard to just have them wear puffy jackets..
Unfortunately, at the very last second, they show Frank's date of death and it says March 21, so it's pretty canonically definitive that day. 🤷🏽♀️ I just tell myself the year of the wedding was a freakishly cold winter and the following year was a freakishly warm spring? I don't know 🙄 I have a friend here in Canada who has a heated pool and she gets it going in April 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
But you know what? John Wells did say time makes no sense, so that's canon too 😂 you are free to think anything you'd like! Time doesn't exist in Shameless!
Thanks for coming along this wild ride as we try to make sense of something that makes absolutely no sense!

Help! My Husband Only Wants to Work, Nap, and Join a Gym on our Ten-Day Vacation in Vancouver
…but like, seriously, those are the things he suggested for today, the day after it snowed almost a foot overnight, and where my car is stuck in its parking spot at the Airbnb because I can’t get enough traction to get it out
My dear, ONE of your suggestions was a good one for today and then you napped through when I expected to be able to take a bus to the science museum and then to the grocery store and then back to the Airbnb like a normal person’s vacation and like we wanted to do, so now your alternative is… let’s go to the gym, go to a cafe to do work, or hang out in a mall until we want to eat dinner? Oh no. No no no no. Bab. There are better things that we can do even when the entire city is full of snow (which is also largely shoveled and melted from pedestrian paths, by the way, because it’s a beautiful sunny 40 degree day!!)
ALSO I HAVE PRESENTS FOR YOU IN THE CAR and it has been SHOCKINGLY difficult to get you to want to open the PRESENTS that I have IN THE CAR FOR YOU
#also how do you propose to get to the gym because I am not letting you drive my car in the snow#when you white-knuckled your way through being a passenger yesterday after dinner when the car was slipping and sliding a little bit#and you don’t understand the concept of ‘if it’s slippery we might need to push the car to get it out’#and you’re NOT going to walk like two miles to the gym#and you don’t fully understand how buses work#anyway. we’re going to teach our favorite Saudi How to Winter#stay tuned#also I forgot he’s doing his insane diet stuff which is also where the gym comes in#I will go play tennis with you but I draw the line at going to the gym#and your fake coffee smells like weird soy sauce and diet coffee??? wtf no I will not be having any#I love you but damn

Good morning! I hope you slept well and feel rested? Currently sitting at my desk, in my study, attired only in my blue towelling robe, enjoying my first cuppa of the day. Happy Hump Day!
Not necessarily a sunny day yesterday but a very sticky one! The kind of day when some of you might have been thinking, “I need less hair!” Both The Trouble and I did some grooming yesterday. Her ‘lock technician’ decided she didn’t need eleven inches of locks … so she lopped them off! Her hair is still down her back; plenty long enough, but she will be several pounds lighter this morning!
Needless to say, The Trouble does not like me looking like Catweazle! My nostrils looked like Epping Forest! I am a very healthy guy. My nails and my hair grow very quickly. As you know guys with bald patches a.k.a. receding hairlines are very virile! So, although my grooming was of a more intimate nature, at least I no longer look like an unruly vagabond.
Global artist management company Three Six Zero has acquired the iconic SARM Music Village in London. The recording facility, located in Notting Hill, West London, houses six studios (commonly known as ‘SARM Studios’) and a suite of purpose-built offices. It had been owned, until now, by Grammy-winning producer Trevor Horn. I spent a painful nine months working at ZTT/Sarm Management in 1997. Truly one of the low points of my life. However I did get a chance to hang out in Sarm West and you could literally feel the history dripping out of every fitting. In the words of Kendrick Lamar, “If these walls could talk!” President of Three Six Zero? None other than Pete Tong!
Idris Elba is looking to expand his business portfolio with the potential purchase of British broadcaster Channel 4, valued at $1.2 billion. To acquire the deal, Elba is in partnership with Marc Boyan, founder of the marketing company Miroma Group, who is also a shareholder in Buzz 18, which former England soccer player Gary Neville owns. This is good news!
Amazingly, there are still climate change deniers. Parts of the UK may actually hit 40 degrees this weekend! 40 celsius is 104 fahrenheit. And you want to tell me there’s no such thing as global warming? Did you see that amazing footage of young Harry Shimmin, who was recently taking a tour of the Tian Shan mountains in Kyrgyzstan when he heard “the sound of deep ice cracking behind me.” Suddenly, there was an avalanche of snow coming towards him and it soon submerged him. Luckily, he got out alive! What caused that? Hmm … I wonder?
Best Tweet on my Twitter feed yesterday, “I love the fact Mo was an 'illegal' immigrant and is now a knight of the realm. How many possible knights are we shipping off to Rwanda?”
Monty Norman, the prolific composer and lyricist whose works include the famous James Bond theme tune, has died at the age of 94. The child of Latvian immigrants, Norman grew up in the East End of London, where his mother bought him his first guitar at the age of 16. He went on to compose for West End shows like ‘Expresso Bongo’ and ‘Irma La Douce’, before moving into film. His Bond theme, commissioned for 1962's ‘Dr No’, was used throughout the series. Top man!
Covid cases have hit a new record in the UK with daily symptomatic infections soaring to 351,546, according to new figures. The new record represents an increase of 237,516 cases a day since the start of June, when they stood at 114,030 – more than tripling infections during the period. I’ve got mates that have caught it AGAIN! It ain’t over ‘til it’s over.
Have a wonderful and well-endowed Wednesday. I love you all. Yes, a crazy, bald man loves and cares about you.

Ancardia's Unusual Animals--the Snow Snake
Classification: Beast (squamate)
Habitat: The grasslands, scrubs and forested regions of Tvearban
A truly unique member of the squamates, the snow snake is one of the few large exothermic reptiles adapted to spend most of its life out and about in the cold reaches of Tvearban. Adults measure approximately 1.5 to 2 meters in length and are the thickness of a human’s wrist (not counting the flared scales). An adult on a sunny day can tolerate temperatures hovering above freezing by making use of the strange adaptation that is its layered, flared scales on the top three quarters of its body, which act as both insulation from heat loss and as biological solar panels which capture the heat of sunlight and transfer it to the blood vessels below the root of each scale, enabling a passive heating as the snow snake travels about. Despite its heating system, it is still usually very sluggish in such cold conditions, and it tends to require cooling off if temperatures in its environment reach over 27 degrees Celsius. In summer months, the snow snake tends to spend much of its time in caves where the air is more tolerable for them, and are noted for being primarily bat-hunters during the short arctic summer. In transitional times when the temperature cools off, the snow snake travels widely, hunting a variety of animals such as lemmings, snow hares, squirrels and occasional birds. In the depths of winter when it drops below freezing, the snow snake employs its signature survival technique of burrowing into snowdrifts to insulate and conserve their heat before entering a torpor state. This state often lasts about three weeks, and in between bouts of this the snow snake will very slowly slither its way around its territory until it has located a cavern site for the spring breeding season; in the weeks leading up to the main thaw, snow snakes have congregated in larger caverns en masse, and will soon form breeding balls.
Snow snakes from the same breeding ball will all lay their eggs in protected crevices communally in the rear portion of the same cavern some two months later before departing for their normal haunts in the springtime. Some of these eggs may be taken by larger carnivorous bats, or cave crickets, or rarely scavenging foxes and birds that make their way into the caves, but the sheer density of them tends to ensure that at least 50% will make it to hatching time. After two months of incubation, the tiny snow snakes emerge and spend their first year exclusively in the caves, as they have not developed the flared scales that enable adults to tolerate the lower temperatures. They primarily feed on small arthropods such as crickets, roaches, and centipedes in this year, and grow from nine-centimeter newborns to 40-centimeter adolescents in this time, growing in their signature scales in their last molt before the next spring. Snow snakes are considered full adults by the end of their second year, and the typical lifespan of a snow snake is between 12 and 20 years. Some predators of the snow snake adults include polar and brown bears, arctic wolves, large eagles, and various local humanoids such as frost giants, hill giants, Islydweragh and northern groups of humans. The shingle-scaled hides are prized by some groups for making windbreakers and hoods that resist the weather and moisture like few other natural materials, and usually are paired with fox or wolf fur to line the interior to maximize the insulation. Snow snake venom is not particularly lethal, though it is still a danger to humanoids that choose to hunt them or who stumble upon one accidentally—though the only known fatalities from snow snake bites have been spelunkers who have slipped into pits containing masses of the juveniles (which led to the young members of this species to once erroneously be thought a different species of “pit viper”).
