Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for January 01, 2020

Calvin’s body thermometer is more accurate.

Happy New Decade! (?)

Calvin’s in first grade, ma’am. Do you think he had learned how to tell temperature by looking at the thing you’re mentioning? (Welcome to Twenty Twenty, C&H readers.)

Open the window and find out!

Asked and answered.

Good thinking Calvin, always go to the source, never the gadget hanging outside the window.

?

As opposed to today, where Calvin would be looking at the weather app…

May you and yours (and them and theirs) have a happy, prosperous and sane new year. … And more of the best reruns on the internet.

This is child labour , mom .

Really, if it’s snowing that hard as to make a one foot (estimate) snow drift in the front door for the brief time Calvin had the door opened, Mom, who certainly has looked out the window, could have answered the question "Sure looks like it to me.)

Happy New Year

Calvin, at least one part of your body will be “warmed” very soon… have a spanking good new year, All! :D

Calvin is preparing for a future career at The Weather Channel. Checking how cold it is at the source today, leads to checking on hurricanes at the source tommorow.

In my best Johnny Carson voice…

It’s so cold, I saw a chicken with a capon.

It’s so cold, I saw a dog trying to jump start another (at least that’s what I think they were doing!)

One could argue this one is Mom’s fault. She needs to be more specific with Calvin!

Did your mum ever yell “Close that door! Do you think I want to heat all of (where ever you lived”)?

Happy New Year!

It was my sister’s birthday, late in May, and we were going to have a picnic on the patio. I was downstairs looking out the patio door watching it snow. So I went upstairs where Mom was getting the tray ready to take outside and said, “It’s snowing.”

“No,” Mom replied. “It doesn’t snow in May.” When she had everything ready on the tray, we followed her down the stairs to the patio door where we stopped.

“Well, I’ll be! Tentoes is right. It’s snowing!” So we had our picnic in the playroom.

Maybe she should have shown him that ‘gadget’ in the first place.

Is “Pretty Darn Cold” metric?

Calvin has a good technique. Some scientists make a quick observation and then make their conclusions. Calvin knows you must take time to observe and measure before coming to the proper conclusion.

Baby It’s Cold Outside…

I check the weather that way sometimes.

I think Calvin will be hanging next to that gadget!

A brush, for sweeping away the snow!!

Ticked-off mothers – FEAR THEM !!!! lol

I love my indoor/outdoor digital thermometer and clock which also shows the date, day, and moon phase. One stop info.

December last year just had little freezing rain and little snow, start of 2020, I had just finished a birthday, today 2020 Happy New Year we are dry in Central KS, NW KS did get snow in December.

Or, had this been the ‘60s: “Let me show you another use for a wooden spoon!” And my father in the background reminding me: “What are you trying to do, warm up the outdoors?”

A rope? if its wet it means its raining, if its white – its snowing, if its horizontal – hit the storm shelters!

We saw the snow last week. In San Diego.

Take care with your answers. Mainly for simple mind!

This reminds me of the Bill Engval weather prediction method – the guys at the TV station will send a smoker outside, and after a few minutes they let him back in and when he can talk and say something like “It’s got to be 20 below out there!”, they run with that.
