It is freezing outside. Ms. Munroe, is this your fault?

E tu, Doc?

[x-beast.livejournal.com]

Et tu, my dear, et tu. And as not only a native of lovely Illinois, but one fortunate enough to be provided with cold-weather gear, as it were, always at the ready . . . how could I not love winter?

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

Right, et. Point is...I'm from California! It's 66 degrees back home! Snow is unnatural!

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

I protest! Snow is perfectly natural. When you drop water particles through the coldness of the uperatomsphere (and be glad you're down here, not up there) it freezes, forming delecate crystal structure and acumulating the way rain would if it couldn't run off in the streets. Basic chemistry.

I'm taking names now, Kitty. There will be retribution.

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

Well, if you're taking names just make sure you spell it right.

Kathrine Rebecca Pryde.

:D

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

Duly noted. You're first on the list, girlie.

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

Yes ma'am. I'll bringing your coat up now.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

Which one?

[x-beast.livejournal.com]

I couldn't have put it better myself.

This is, incidentally, the only planet in the solar system where snowball fights are possible. Aren't we lucky?

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

Well, couldn't you have amonium snowball fights on Europa (presuming you could breath, and the lack of gravity didn't bug you too much)? Or was it Titan? It's been too long since we've gone over any real astronomy.

[x-beast.livejournal.com]

It's a matter of the state boundary between liquid and solid, actually; if you had a blast furnace, were fireproof, and had a very strong grip, you might conceivably be able to make plutonium snowballs, but I'd be careful of reaching critical mass. I had a link to an essay on the subject somewhere.

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

Sure, but there's already amonium rain/snow on Titan... or was it Dione? Europa's the one with the h2o water ocean and the frozen 'crust' isn't it? So I guess it would be the best place for an extraplanetary snowball fight, assuming the crust didn't crack and drop you into the ocean.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

Quite quite lucky. None of it good.

Aren't there ice caps on Mars? Couldn't you have a snowball fight there?

[x-beast.livejournal.com]

Not without a heated industrial press, I'm afraid, which rather puts a damper on the proceedings. It's too cold on Mars.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

IT'S TOO COLD HERE!!!

I'm with you, Lorna. I've never seen snow before. I don't want to see it any closer, thanks -- so don't any of you go getting any ideas.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

Save me! I'm being dragged out into this barbaric weather!

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

*glances over shoulder*

Sorry, if I help you, they'll come for me next. In fact, I think I can hear them already.

*runs*

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

Don't you dare abandon me!! I've already been betrayed by my roommate, my boyfriend and the kids who live across the hall. We have to have some solidarity!!

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

*types fast*

Sorry Lorna, you're on your own. I'm on the run...

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

Should've kept quiet then Angelo. I'm grabbing your coat too... Good gods man, you haven't got any gloves. Gimme a sec and I'll find a spare pair.

Ok. On my way up. If Alex is willing to help us with Lorna I'm sure he'll help us with you.

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

I'm from LA! Why would I have gloves?

*hides*

[x-kitten.livejournal.com]

You can not hide from me, it doesn't work. Next you'll tell me you're locking the door. *snort*

And you would have gloves because this is not LA and you will need them for the coming winter.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

I've got spare gloves, gorgeous, Angelo can borrow them. :)
