Cold weather and snow go together like mustard on a hot dog.
You cannot take one away from another. (my logic is somewhere between the Sling Blade d.ude and Forrest Gump) |

I like sleeping in a cold house with my heated mattress pad turned on for warmth.
We only have a 1 car garage (that my minivan doesn't fit in) so I always have to scrape or clear snow off my car in the winter. I bought the minivan used and it has a remote starter. The remote starter has never worked (we think it's just a loose wire, but the mister isn't handy) and I'm too cheap to get it fixed. I would hate to live somewhere where the seasons didn't change. |

I don't understand how people function in places where it snows all the time.
I know no "snow lore". How much earlier do you have to wake up to warm up your car for work? Are the streets always plowed by the time you are leaving? When you park at work, does you car get re-snowed in? Do the plow work all day long? What about the frozen keyhole thing (not a sectushull question)? Are there ever Snow Days for work? How can you get the kids to school on time and get to work in a heavy snowstorm? Is that why many yankees have no landscaping in their yards....snow damage every winter? How often do your pipes break (not a sectshull question)? Is there frozen dog pee and poo everywhere in yards? How do you know when the lake is frozen enough to ice fish? Do people really put chains on their tires? Doesn't all that sand and salt ruin your cars? I could go on. |

I am cold stubborn or stupid depending on how people think. I wear shorts year round in the house. I too hate winter coats, and live in open toe shoes or go
barefoot most of the year. i hate having the heat on and blowing hot air, i cannot breathe. I will cave if the wind is rough and opt for a sweater, and then
die if i'm inside and sweat like it's summer. I run two fans in my room year round one oscillates and one is fixed, I have to keep my feet cool or I
cannot sleep. I love a cold pillow so keep three to rotate as I heat them up. I run to the car like KF in minimal protection from the elements.

I wonder if you can freeze Red Bull and prune juice? Make popsicles or some such.

You guys are nuts. The cold is not meant to be revered. It is not meant to be conquered. It is meant to be cursed and hated while you hike up the thermostat,
snuggle under some blankets, and drink some hot tea.

I love the cold! I keep the thermostat around 65 and a fan going most of the winter, and that's still plenty warm to wear shorts and t-shirts around the
house. And I really like jackets and coats --- I have a closet full for different temperatures and occasions. It is important to always be appropriately
dressed.
But snow gets to be a pain in the ass. And messy. I finally gave up on having wet feet all day, and now in the winter I usually wear my UGG boots with my suit pants stuffed inside when I walk to work. Kind of funny looking, but my feet stay warm and dry. And I like to think that maybe I'm starting a trend. The worst part of winter is driving. Between the idiots who drive 35 mph in the centerlane because it snowed 3 days ago and the maniacs in SUVs who refuse to slow down no matter how icy the road or how bad the visibility, you risk your life every time you get in the car. And around here, there's pretty much no thawing at all between December and February/March, so we end up with HUGE piles of snow on the side streets. That means intersections all become blind because there are (no exaggeration) 10 foot high piles of snow on both sides of you. That's a pain. And so are the 3 foot deep potholes. But the BEST part of winter is all the news stories of people driving their cars onto lakes and falling into the water. There seems to be some magical pull from (partially) frozen lakes to dumbasses in SUVs and drunks on snowmobiles. It's priceless! |
