So, I Love Winter.
« on: January 16, 2009, 08:13:36 AM »
Temperatures around here have been around a high of like, 3 degrees Fahrenheit for the past couple of days. For where I live, that's unusual. Plus, we had some pretty heavy snowfall the past couple days as well. Yes, it is very pretty.

But the most beautiful part of it is the fact that it extends my weekend to 5 days, as I got out of school yesterday and today.

So, I'm very happy.  ;D More time for TLHH!

So, how's the weather around the REST of the world?

Happy Hunting!

8° F around here today. Yeah, doesn't usually get that cold in the DC area, either. No snow, unfortunately. I love snow, but much of it gets caught up in the Allegheny Mountains and doesn't get this far east.

Stupid Alleghenies. >:(
Best regards,

Well, they DO have a funny name. Don't hate 'em!

Try saying "Alleghenies" ten times fast. You probably could, but I'd still probably get a kick out of it.  :lol:

We have here -2 to -11 Celsius degrees - all covered in snow and ice. I love it. But it is still much warmer than it was in the last years due to the global warming  :'(

Temperatures here are ranging from 21ºC to 31ºC. However, I DO live in a crazy city, so for the last 3 days (and probably today, as well) I get to work around noon with 31ºC and a bright sun, see as the sky darkens until around 3-4 o'clock, then a storm drops, heavy HEAVY rain, temperature around 18-21º C, then by the time it hits 5 o'clock it's bright and sunny again, closing in on 28º C, and by the time I leave, at 7 p.m., it's around 25-26º C, with no sun and the sky beggining to darken again for the night rainstorm. Seriously, it happened EXACTLY like this the last 3 days, and today it's coming down to it again.

I. hate. you. all.  its much colder than before, just like last year. record setting.  hit -34  water yesterday, with wind chill it was -50 at times.  We get a 4 day weekend.  we're at a balmy 0 right now. (Fahrenheit)  and the snow. don't even get me started on the snow.  At the bottom of our driveways its hard to shovel cause it roughly 6 ft tall on either side.  the lowest points have around 18 inches of snow, 2 ft isn't uncommon.  its ridiculous.

Next spring I'm burning tires. we need some global warming around here ;)

you have no idea.  What possesseth man that we settle in a place where the winters are cold enough to freeze your eyelashes if you step outside, and the summers hot enough to drive you insane.


so yeah, I live in #$&*@!...or Iowa, depending on your viewpoint.

lol.  because I stay inside, or risk certain death in the freezing cold. no joke.  yesterday when I did my paper route I had ankle socks, socks, boots, jeans, snowpants, underamor shirt, T-shirt, coat, balaclava, 2 pairs of gloves.  And I was still cold.
