It was like 42 today or something. And windy! My doo got all jacked up.
The thing I hate the most though. Windburned lips, and chapped cracked hands. Which happens to me as soon as it starts getting cold. I hate it.
-
Bring the cold...I love it.
-
Same here. Colder the better. I hate warm weather. It's almost rained here a bunch of times... and I just keep waiting for it. Driving me nuts, sun keeps popping out.
-
UK. 'nuf said. you bastards.
-
It snowed here yesterday.
:(
-
It just now got barely in the 70s here, there is no such thing as winter in Texas.
-
Yea it got cold here starting yesterday. Im enjoying it, I love this season.
-
We had frost this morning.. I don't like the cold much.. I'm still used to 42 degrees (Celsius). Although my ideal temperature is somewhere between 32 and 36 Celsius. Perfect for swimming.
-
haha you are still there?
-
Yeah man, the University finally got my file together (they lost my file and had no record of me ever studying there). They had to rebuild it by getting all my marks from my profs (who accounted for my presence and performance in class) again and recalculating my average. I just paid the tuition, so now they can send the credits to Brock U so they can add it and gimme my degree!
Anyway, the climate isn't helping me.. I've been getting drowsy, mild headaches that last all day, and occasional eye irritations (it can get stuffy when all the windows are closed).
-
I hate the cold. With hot weather, at least you could reduce layers to get comfortable. With the cold if you forget a jacket and it's colder then you expected... well you're fucked.
Plus, why can't it be hot and windy and cold and still? Instead, you have sweltering heat with no breeze, and they you have 10 mph winds when it's 30 F outside. It's bullshit.
I liked the winter when I was a kid: sled riding, snowball fights, ice skating, etc. Now at age 28, it's just fucking cold. And snow makes you not only late for work, but makes you do more work since you have to dig out your car and clean off the driveway.
Fuck the winter.

I couldn't disagree with you more. It's so much easier to get warm than it is to get cool.

I agree with that as well, but I have always lived where it is hot most of the year (Texas and Arizona)
-
I look at it the opposite way as scott. In the winter, its fairly easy to be warm. Put on another layer, go inside and warm up. In the summer, you can get buck-ass naked and you'll still be hot.
-
Usually when it's hot I'm comfortable and everyone else is suffering. I like it exceptionally warm. When it's cold, I have wrap myself with blankets, like a coccoon! Although I have to admit the great thing abouyt it being cold is finding someone to snuggle with :P Ok, that sounded kinda gay, but think of it like this: You're under a blanket with a signficant other, keeping each other warm, kinda like camping.
Ok, so it's gonna be a cold Holy Month for me this year.

You may enjoy the cold, but you don't have the several feet of snow that accompany it. Snow is awesome and all, but driving in it and having to get up 30 or 40 minutes earlier in the winter can be quite the bitch.
-
That's why I'm smart and I live where it doesn't snow.

I loved the weather there when I was close to that area once (Oakland/San Fransisco) the fog and the cool weather was interesting.
-
Ideally I'd live where it doesn't snow, and the temperature doesn't drop below 17C; home, I miss it. Back home rain is pretty rare too, though I like rain.
-
See, I like it around abouts September. It's not hot, and it's not cold. It's perfect. 68-74 degrees. But when it gets into the single digits, or hell, just close to them, it sucks. Getting up early to scrape ice off your car, or snow, having to commute in it, freeze your ass off. I work outside a lot as well. It fucking blows. I'd much rather be hot and sweaty, than freezing and miserable.
-
I like the cold. Hell, it drops down to -40ºC in the winter here and sometimes even lower with the windchill.
But it's generally floating around -5 to +15 degrees Celsius for the last few weeks, which is cool and warm.
-
It's pretty cold here, since I live up in the mountains. Funny thing, though- I lost my coat the other week, right when it starts to get cold. I'm freezin my ass off here in short sleeves. I should probably go to the store or something.
-
Arapahoe Basin was the first Ski resort to open up here this past weekend.
1 run, and most of the snow man made.. but still. All the mountain tops are white now though. The warm weather has held out down here at 5,000 feet though, we've only had a couple cold days so far, and today it was almost 70 so I'm not complaining in the least.
-
Its funny about cold and snow. If its cold and theres no snow, I hate it and I freeze. If theres snow, I'll go outside without a jacket to get the mail.
-
Absolutely nothing beats the still of a night after a good snowfall.
The snow absorbs all the ambient sound and reflects any light making the night brighter than normal but absolutely silent. I love getting all bundled up and taking a long walk in the middle of the night after the snow stops falling.
-
I would love to do that. I would absolutely love to do that.

Get a room you two.

Haha, funny pug. :P
It is a great feeling, though, being in the snow at night. It's crazy how quiet it is. I've been to some of the best parties of my life at night in the snow. You feel eerily alone for some reason.
-
I definitely appreciate the silence afterwards, but I acknowledge and accept the fact that I'm not meant for the cold :D I can tolerate it when I have to.
Hehe I actually walked a few miles in a bit of a blizzard just to show a girl I liked (who likes snow) that I'd do it for her :P "A bit of a blizzard" to me is like a full-blown blizzard to the average snow dweller, since I'm not a snow person. So it felt like a good effort :P Man, the things we do for girls ;D
-
Don't you mean that "a bit of a blizzard" to the average snow dweller would be a full-blown blizzard to you? Or are you just trying to say you're more badass than the average snow dweller?
-
He isnt. I've been in full blown blizzards in Minnesota. You dont walk out in it if you value your life.
-
He probably got it the other way around, but knowing Xessive it could be the badass answer too.
Minus the bad.
-
Um, it works both ways but saying like I did or reversing it means the same thing.. Sadly, it does not reflect my baddassian nature.. I just meant that the benign cold of "a bit of a blizzard" would be as merciless and brutal to me as a full-blown blizzard would be to a snow-hardened veteran. The idea being that a snow-hardened veteran would not go out into a full-blown blizzard (as Idolminds mentioned); between getting lost and subsequently freezing to death it's a bad idea.
The analogy is meant to emphasize my weakness to cold climates versus my determination to prove my admiration to a girl. Yes, I am a hopeless romantic..
And if you think I'm an ass, well... Um... I have one.
-
Okay, I get it now.
I'm tired. I need more wine.
-
Wine gives me a headache. Especially red wine.
-
I don't drink wine to get drunk. I drink it because I like wine. Honestly, I could down a bottle of pretty much any wine and feel absolutely nothing at all. I once stole a bottle from my folks when I was younger and depressed, and I drank the whole thing in about an hour... and nothing.
