Winter blows...

[Vanion]

Alright... so, as the title says... Winter blows.

 

Was shoveling snow and ice away from my back door so the brood (my huskies) could get outside into the yard, and I managed to pinch a god damn nerve in my back. I am now in severe pain, which I am dulling with whiskey, beer, scotch and just about any other alcohol within reach.

 

This is only the start of winter, my hated enemy...

 

It has won the primary encounter, but the war is far from over!

 

*shakes fist in rage!*

[WWWwombat]

My furnace broke like two days ago but it's fixed now :D

[Coravron]

It does, and it blows hard.

 

It was -54 here on the weekend with windchill.  A city just to the west of me apparently hit -60.  Coldest place in North America (which includes the arctic by the way...)

 

I think anything this cold should be illegal.

 

Buuuut I figure mother nature will screw with you one way or another.  You get cold or tornadoes or hurricanes or earthquakes or so on.

I'll take a bit of cold.  At least i can go snowboarding still.

[Talya]

At least it isn't mildly cold and damp!

 

At least next week things are getting a little cooler and dryer...thats what I like, except some snow of course!

[Locke]

I for one will lose the war with winter.  I always do. 

 

Winter is the epitome of meh.

[TheMasterDude]

I win the war against winter every year!

 

I live in a place where the coldest it ever gets is 32 degrees Farenheight (That's 0 Celcius) like maybe 1 week out of the year :)

 

Last year was the coldest year in recorded history, it snowed FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER! And it only lasted about 5 minutes....

 

 

Summer heat is brutal though. People die of heatstroke by walking from wall-mart to their cars.

[Locke]

I liked it much better where it never snowed and rarely went below 50.

[Al Jenn Mael]

Well I now live at Okinawa am in Afghanistan so it isn't that cold... I'm totally losing since I can't go skiing *Shakes head at snowboarders* and there is no snow to play in. I'm not a fan of the cold, but I love snow and there are some plus sides to the cold.

 

1. HOT CHOCOLATE

2. Skiing

3. Bundling up and being cozy

4. Fires

5. Excuses to cuddle, snuggle, or get close to someone.

6. Snowmen/angels

 

I think that is enough for now :P :D

[Nynaeve]

I like the winter. Hate the summer. Sweating sucks :P

 

 

 

Nyn

[Vanion]

Dont get me wrong, I love snowboarding... But I still hate the damn winter.

 

Plus, with my back being all screwed right now, I cant snowboard. Can't much of anything, actually.

 

I actually turned down sex last night. Do you have any idea how angry that made me?!

 

I wanted to destroy the universe!! Burn the very fabric of time!!

 

I shall get even with the winter for this... mark my words...!

[Ticondrius]

Winter is excellent...can go outside and practice swordforms bare-chested all day and not overheat.

;)

[Nynaeve]

lol

 

I'm thinking more of hot chocolate!

 

 

 

 

Nyn

[Ticondrius]

...and a snuggle by a warm fireplace!  ;D

 

*offers Nyn some Hot Chocolate*

[Eht Slat Meit]

If it's just plain cold, enjoy it for that. I've found Michigan to be slightly colder on average than Juneau, but adding regular rain on top of cold makes the misery far worse.

[Vanion]

I need to move my ass somewhere less cold for winter.

 

...Like Hawaii!  ;D

[Ticondrius]

Try Chapala, Jalisco, Mexico.  A lot of rich Americans live there...very very bilingual area...huge lake, nice homes...

[TheMasterDude]

Mexico is having problems with the drug wars right now...So not a good idea to go there currently.

[Ticondrius]

Oh, very informed you are.  ::)  I live here, mate.  Stay out of the bloody border zone, and you're shiny.  Chapala is far to the Southwest side, just south of Guadalajara.

[Nynaeve]

*laughs*  Firefly junky!  xD

 

 

 

 

Nyn

[Ticondrius]

Your fault!  ;D  *hugs Nyn*  Thanks for indoctrina...I mean..introducing me to Firefly.  :P

[Al Jenn Mael]

Don't think the huskies would like that ;p

[LedZepMan]

pfft, it aint cold yet.........twenty below is nothing

[TheMasterDude]

Oh, very informed you are.  ::)  I live here, mate.  Stay out of the bloody border zone, and you're shiny.  Chapala is far to the Southwest side, just south of Guadalajara.

 

 

Pretty much yea. As long as you stay out of the bad parts of Mexico you're fine haha. But that's true for any city!

[LedZepMan]

I have o intention of ever going to mexico. Way too hot

[Ticondrius]

Disinformation strikes again.  :P

 

It's only hot for perhaps 2-3 weeks in Spring.  Once the rainy season starts, summer temps hover around 80F, +-10 degrees.  Right now, in the winter, temps are a nice cool 50-65F.
