Though I rarely understand or have any interest in the technological things you guys talk about, I really enjoy having you on in the background because your voices are very soothing. And every once in a while I find a gem of Grey being surprised by the effectiveness of fluffy happy stuff like gratitude journals [: 28:35
Also, the fact that Grey dropped out of his Masters program makes me feel better about dropping out of mine. I'd love to hear more to this story... does it somewhat relate to the idea of attending an entrepreneur or stand up comedy class?
The acts of going to sleep, waking up, and getting outta bed, are impossible for me. Very disastrous because I like to rise early, but I end up waking at 9am.
Wow. Hearing Myke say that he actually prefers not to sleep until it becomes nearly impossible not to was unexpected. I frequently find myself unable to sleep until exhaustion takes me, due to any number of things including tense frustration at recent intrusive sounds even if the sounds have stopped by now... But I have nevertheless a period for quite some time while my mind is too sluggish and tired for me to feel as though I can really work effectively unless something urgently requires my attention but I am still not tired enough for sleep to take me without waiting for it. On the other hand, I sometimes suffer from sleep paralysis while falling asleep, and that's a terrible, desperate feeling; I have also, seperately, had some really horrible nightmares in my day. Perhaps that is part of the reason both that I have some difficulty relaxing into sleep (because there are things in sleep that scare me) and also that I wish I had an easier time of it.
It hardly ever snows, and when it does it's only a couple of inches. There's very little in the way of infrastructure to deal with it so when it does we just let it happen rather than waste money maintaining things to clear the way.
TLDR; No, snow is not regular in London, nor for most of the United Kingdom. Snow in the United Kingdom in general can be described as chaotic. Big cities are less affected because the snow can't lie well on the busy roads, and the coasts are less affected because "The salt air stops the snow from settling". This snowstorm was constant snow for a full work week, which is the first time I've seen such a thing at least (any snow I've seen has been one precipiation, around night time, dawn or dusk, which lies for about 2 days to a week), and that amount of snowing left the entire country covered. It has Just cleared up today (Tuesday 6th March 2018) where I am after it started last Monday and stopped snowing on Friday-Saturday.

I'm Canadian born and raised, but about a year ago, I spent some time in Ireland, and enjoyed discovering what to me seems a remarkably mild (albeit rainy) climate. I was bemused at the lack of extremes, and hearing about the country being shut down by an inch or two of snow, but even so, I did understand. Ireland and the UK don't have the infrastructure to deal with snow effectively like we do in Canada much the way children there don't hear about what to do to stay safe if you see a moose. It's not a threat which is likely enough to come up that it's really worth preparing for. For much the same reason, I don't have basic instruction about how to safely handle venomous snakes or alligators although in some of the US midlands, that's common knowledge. You learn the environment you live, and it's only sensible for it to work that way, too.
I did have a lot of fun assuring my Irish friends that yes, in fact, it is quite normal for Canada to have several feet of snow on the ground at some point during winter, and showed off a photo of a sculpture I'd once carved in a particularly huge snowbank once with a butterknife when I was a teenager. It was a happy funny thing seeing everyone's wonder at how exotic this thing so familiar to me sounded; though I'd wonder just as much at things that are exotic to me in turn. Perhaps even more.
snow day in so cal usa im ok with that, but i was hoping this program would get better where's that up-turned vocals of the 'teaser gray ' like the teaser gray of the 'State Flags' episode, or meny others, i guess i am ok you do what you do best , never mind putting the fun in your voice. sorry , 🎉😮no offence intended c-ya
0:06 Grey being adorable is always unexpected but always welcome.

Grey, still enjoying snow days to this very day ❄️
Thank you Grey, for pointing out the ecological healthiness of forest fires, what foresters would call "controlled burns"

I like Mike's journal idea and I'll use it.

That is incorrect.

1:19:04 - 1:19:45 I am exactly this way too, Myke.
I can identify with snow loving myself, as i live in a place with little snow as well.
"Northern arctic wasteland"
xD we just got a white out today, I wanna play in the snow but I think i'll be lost in one of the vast corn fields of Iowa.
Light pollution might not be bad around you but making a "Bat signal" /lighthouse and using it on such occasions might be worth it
Just realised it's 2 years not two days ago this other cortex episode I never saw got published
Snow days are meant to be celebrated. Florida's version would be Hurricane days.
Does it snow regularly in London?
