Freezing

The Following Dialogue takes place entirely in my head. The voices are numbered so that it will make sense, but no voice identifies with any avatar of any sort. It takes place while I was walking back from class this morning.

[1]Snow?
[2]Whoa! It was only sleet earlier.
[1]Isn't it supposed to get warmer as the day goes by?
[2]Max we both know by now that weather doesn't follow any rule that simple.
[1]True.

[1]I am frickin Freezing Today was not a good day to wear a T-shirt jeans and sandals
[2]Why did you wear a T-shirt jeans and sandals
[3]Has anyone else noticed that our +1 shirt gives us no bonus to our cold resistance?
[1 & 2 in unison] Shut, up.
[1]It's what I always wear
[2]Dude you have a window, you saw the sleet, why didn't you get your coat?
[1]I didn't notice it until I walked outside. And did you want to climb up 4 flights of stairs
[pause]
[2]Touche

[1]It's a shame it isn't sticking
[2]The snow won't stick until the ground is below 0
[1]Since when have we started using the metric system?
[3]Since 22:55 on 9-55-2005
[2]*sigh*
[1]I wonder how weeks would work in metric time.
[3]10 weeks in a month 10 days in a week, It'd still fit in the 100 days per month and 10 months per year scheme.
[1]You'd completely wang the solar timing though
[2]Wait a sec. If the ground temperature, and hence the ambient temperature, is above freezing why is it snowing?
[1]Snow freezes in the stratosphere and then falls.
[3]What makes the stratosphere so cold
[Everyone]hmm
[1]heat lost to space?
[2]how would heat conduct across space, it's a vacuum?
[1]infrared light
[2]Heat energy in the form of molecular motion changes to heat energy in the form of infrared light in order to travel to areas of lower heat?
[1]It sounds like a sound concept but what would motivate it to...
[3]There's snow on that car
[1]!
[2]!
[1]It must have already been really cold in the car, so it stuck to the windshield
[2]Conrad was hoping it would snow and stick
[3]Conrad was up till 3 last night playing his new copy of Need for Speed, he's probably still asleep
[Everyone]*Evil Grin*
[1]Quick, make a snowball
[2]Is there enough?
[1]Yeah, but it's melting fast
[3]I can't feel my hands
[1]take one for the team
[2]Heheh "Heyconradwakeupit'ssnowing!" Bam!

In the end Conrad was already awake, I threw it at him anyway, but it wasn't as amusing as it could have been. It continues to snow, but isn't sticking in any signifigant way.
