Weekly Favorites: Have a hater-free weekend.

I've come to the conclusion that weather apps become obsolete the second anything of interest starts happening with the weather. Social media explodes! It's like that age-old desire to talk about the weather to, well, everyone, is innate in all of us. So, if you haven't heard, it's freezing outside. Which is an understatement. If it was freezing, it be 32 degrees and I'd probably be going for a run outside due to the warmth. It looks like the Madison, Wisconsin high today is 1 degree Fahrenheit!

Photo taken last weekend skiing at Tyrol Basin. Way too cold to ski this weekend!

Might as well just stay inside this weekend, no? Some links to browse through from the warmth of your couch:
