Default Have you had enough winter yet?

I've had enough cold weather. My hands are cold, my feet are cold. Snow, slush, cold rain. I've had enough.

My 4Runner is coated in salt, my S sits in the garage with less than 100 miles for the month of January.

I like the change of seasons, I even like the cold and snow in small doses, but I've had enough of this year's winter. I'm ready for spring.

How about you?

I like winter...it's very cozy and the air is crisp. Last weekend Kathy and I did X-country skiing...right in the park in front of our house! We had about 12" of the white stuff

I like suprising SUV's by my S2000's good handling in the snow Blizzak's Rule

YES - I can't handle it anymore...

Remember a week ago I was is Vegas - well it was about 20C there when I left, came home to -30C....50 degree C change in about 4 hours.

I have some weather for sale - cheap!

Liz and I were watching TV the other night and saw a feature on two towns in Minnesota that compete for the lowest temperature. One town was Embarrass and the other was Tower. One had -50* F and won because the thermometer in the other town froze before it could record the temperature. One of the people interviewed said that at that temperature if you toss the water from a glass into the air it will come down as ice crystals.

Kedo, your -40 made me think about that. I can't even begin to imagine how it must feel to be in that kind of cold.

Silverstone owners seem to have a more positive outlook.....

Here in Massachusetts we have broken all records for the most snow ever to fall in January.
Our blizzard of last week, poorly plowed side streets, mountains of snow at intersections, schools closed all week, and almost two weeks of below freezing temps have tested folks, and they are getting testy.

I've had enough of winter for sure. It's time to call the oil man for a delivery......again!

On the plus side, we had 27 degrees today and 27 degrees never felt so good! Some of the snow actually started to melt. Tomorrow we are supposed to move above freezing.

We haven't been hit particularly hard yet, so I'm OK with it. To the north, more snow. To the south, more ice. But there is still February to get through. I'm managing to get away to FL next Fri for three days. Woohoo! Maybe that will help with the rest of the month.
