It's going to be -22 tommorrow morning.. and there is black ice.. People shouldn't be where it is -22.. and ice you can't see until you are spinning off the road or flat on your back in the parking lot..


I'm wearing pants to work because of the weather.. I had to go buy another pair... I wasted money on pants..

Enough is enough..
I agree. It's abnormal and NOT natural for there to be negative degrees. Humans are not designed to withstand freakin' negative degrees. :wtf:

You all have BUGS not bugs but BUGS

I will take the cold and snow and ice for 12 weeks to avoid the bugs
Your cold and ice is only for 12 weeks? That's not a bad deal, I'm thinking. :thinking:

No! No! Nooooo! Don't let it fool you! On paper it looks okay. But you have to remember that winter weeks are kind of like dog years. One week of snow and ice and cold is like a month of nice weather. Every November/December I tell myself that's it no big deal, it won't be long before spring is here. And then in January I start asking myself how long it's been and isn't it time for spring? In February I'm sure it's time, but it's not. Then March comes and we all start wearing short sleeves when the temp gets above 45F because we're sure the warm weather is right around the corner. Then when we recover from getting sick from wearing short sleeves in the winter weather we go back to telling ourselves and each other that it's just about over. Then we finally hit April and it's still cold but they say that it's spring so we try to act like we're warm.

This cracked me the Hell up! :rofl:

I live in the PNW and this year has been so fantastic! It HAS to be, to make up for the disaster that last year was. :blink:

I think you are right with your dog year theory. I also think it's like childbirth. Oh, that was last year and I don't remember it hurting too much, yanno? Then it hits and you are reminded that, indeed, it hurts. :bigcry:

:snowballfight:

One has to understand that come March, when it is 40 degrees people will be wearing shorts and tee shirts. If the roads are clear then it is nice out (even if there is 4 feet of snow) I try to think positive. Generally Jan Feb and March are the hard core winter months here. Last year was way worse and not normal. Having said all this sometimes we have snow before Halloween!

Leigh 01-08-2010 12:36 AM
I have no problem with snow, its the sometimes -40 or lower temperatures I have to deal with that I really dont like. Not only that, but it lasts a few months generally except for some odd reason this year has been mild .......... the cold temps have only so far been hitting us this week but man the winds we've been having up here are bitter cold so I hope it goes away soon!!!!

Hudson 01-08-2010 09:22 AM
Snow on the ground and 16 degrees here. Fun moving weather! (I mean that.)

labete 01-08-2010 10:47 AM
I like snow. I just don't so much want it delivered to me. I'd generally rather go to it. :cold: I don't think I could live where there's snow most of the winter -- much less where you have to dig out your car, shovel your walk, or FFS shovel out your house because there's snow higher than the front door -- and keep my remaining sanity. I don't know how y'all who live in such conditions do it. I'd go nuts. I'll take the fire ants and palmetto bugs any day if that's what the options are. :watereyes:

My brother and sister-in-law are in the process of moving to Laramie, WY for my brother's job, and I'm fairly certain they're nuts. A Georgian and a Floridian moving to Wyoming in January???

I'm guessing that this is not an audience that would appreciate my complaints about the fog having not lifted for three days and how the damp 40's temperatures mixed with the wet air creeps in through every window and crack and through gloves and coats and stuff.

Actually I feel for ya. I do not like cold and damp. Snow usually means cold and dry. I think (i could be wrong) it is easier to get warm when it is cold and dry.

I agree. Once the chill from dampness gets into your bones, you're done for. It's shivering, icicle city for you, bucko.

Brrrrr....

Ahh... finally back to Arkansas weather! It was a toasty 58 degrees today! :clap: Now if we can just maintain our winter average highs until February is over, that would be great! :thumbsup:

Jess 01-12-2010 10:35 AM
We still have some frozen "snow" from the week before Christmas. It has been too cold for it to melt. Def the "coldest" winter I can recall.
There are some flakes blowing around out there right now, but it is not expected to accumulate. I think this is the first day in a few weeks it has been "warm enough to snow" LOL...

Blessed are the wood choppers!!!!:cuttree:

Sigh.. It get's up to 20 and there is partial sun... It's like spring break.. everyone is out sunbathing..

Snow's due in tomorrow... this would not be a problem if we had had a normal January, but nooo... after the Arctic chill that almost did me in, we had two weeks of--I kid you not--SPRING. 50+ degrees, day after day! Non-freezing nights! The lilacs are budding!

And tomorrow the high temp will be twenty degrees lower than today, and it will snow. The low temps will drop into the teens again. Sheesh.

The thing which made the snow so hard for me before was that I've never lived in a house in snow country--in the apartment complexes, there were long carpeted hallways between the outside world and my front door. Here at That House, it snows right up to my front door even though I have a full-size covered porch. :blink: I really don't understand that, lol...

I'll grant you that my floors are not exactly beautiful right now, splotched with old carpet glue as they still are... but SHEESH, having melting snow tracked from the front door to the back really bothered me! It took me quite a while to figure out what to do.

Now one of my best bathtowels has been sacrificed to the snowy-shoe gods so that we have a place to let shoes dry, and one of our bath sheets plus another towel have become a sort of carpet that extends a good five feet into the living room. Voila! No more salty slush melting into our hardwood floors!

*hey, they aren't gonna get ruined on MY watch... so glad I figured out how to avoid it!*

Bonus: doorway puppy accidents are contained, too. :cheesy:

Love snow, hate ice. We don't get much of either but people down here don't know how to drive in either. I live out in the county and go to work early so I'm usually the one making the new path to town. But I must admit my butt draws up if I meet someone on the road, ya never know how they are going to be driving.

You could also use cardboard boxes - its what we do (Jess is brilliant!!)

Break the box down flat... slushy wet nasty shoes have a place to live!

That reminds me... have boxes at ready...

We're supposed to get some snow( beginning Friday- Saturday ) also. So after the last lil bout of 18 or so inches we are a tad better prepared...

Icemelt.. check
Food.. check
Movies.. check
Extra wood.. check
Daddy wood.. grin
Happy snowbunny.. check check

Try to make the best of it Miss Bit! Our lil guys do NOT like their feet wet, so finding a dry patch to haul them to is kinda fun. I need a double puppy papoose!
