HAHAHAHA WELCOME TO MY WORLD MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! ! I've been watching the news channels because the stuff some people are saying is really hilarious to me, like this one guy who was saying 15 degree weather felt like it was biting his face. There's been times where I would LOVE to have 15 degree weather over what I was having at the time (-40, -50, etc). Thankfully I live in Anchorage now where it doesnt get TOO cold that often.

I grew up in the midwest, where I learned to drive a county snowplow right after I got my driver's license. The money I made from being "on call" for four months out of the year helped put me through college.

Now I live in southern California near Disneyland, where this morning there was ice on my windshield, and I was glad to see it! :D

Now, would someone please explain to me this thing called "global warming"? :wink:

I live in Michigan, and still hear people complain about the weather :roll:

Yes, it's going to snow, buy warmer clothes, prepare to go sledding, be on guard for snowballs and whitewashes.

And yes, it's going to melt and slush and make the roads all slippery and the parking lots all messy.

Yes, your expensive car is going to get stuck in the snow and corroded by road salt. And buy new tires.

They aren't used to that cold weather so that's why it seems cold to them.


When I lived in Montana, single digit degree weather or teen degree weather would freeze my hands and my fingers would hurt. When it be in the twenties, it freeze my hands and feet because of the humidity. I think I have poor circulation because my hands get cold real easily than everybody else's when I'm cold.

Is this in Fahrenheit? Because I'm used to -30-40 Celsius where I live, and I would LOVE to have 15!

Ha! It's 77F here.

I like the weather. I don't have to wear anything other than pajamas.
