Crazy out there today! I'm not a huge fan of snow, but seeing it from my window is pretty awesome.
 
I don't mind snow. Slippery roads suck, though.
When I was working, I'd cussed a mouth full every time it snowed. Working for a municipal government I had to be the first one out in it. We were responsible for support of the snow removal crews and preparation of the equipment, so we were on the way to work before they were even out of bed.

Now being, retired, I can sit with my feet up and enjoy the beauty of the softly falling snow, the ground shrouded in a blanket of white as a fire crackles in the fire place. Of course I ain't going to say that around my old work mates. They'd strap me to the front of a snow plow so I could really enjoy the snow!

Yep. Many early morning I've passed snowplows. Even though I've been doing 20 in a 55. Doubles my commute time. :mad:
 
Yesterday evening.

It was cold! All of 69* :D

I hate winter with a passion, down here it doesn't last long, but man does it suck. Thank goodness it rarely snows over here.
 
At least there's no mosquitoes. They were bad this last summer. And stink bugs, although they are a minor nuisance.

Ok, you have a point! :D

Down here we have those HUGE water bugs outside that make me scream. No thanks!

That's the ONLY good thing about winter!

That and the holidays!

It’s only going to be -30 tomorrow night and a high of -17 on Wednesday with a wind chill nearing -60 here. Good thing I don’t live in Minnesota or Canada!
 
You can keep it. With the exception of one minor snowfall, we have so far escaped the miserable weather (aside from the cold and wind).

Only two more months and some semblance of warmth will (hopefully) start to return.
 
It is not normal. I'm thinking people are going to be melting this summer.
 
Warm your car up for 30 minutes before going anywhere. Place a piece of cardboard in front of the radiator to prevent direct airflow contact. Drink lots of water. Keep cellphone always charged. Keep pets indoor. Just a few tidbits from Wyoming where this is normal
 
-23 ambient temp.


More than once I've had to put an old boot on the gas pedal of my pos (love u) truck to keep her running.
 
Interesting.
