Winter Sucks, Part 2 ...yeah it really does suck!

After the ice storm in the central U.S. my house went 24 1/2 hours without any electricity and heat. Damn it was cold in the house, and I ended up having to wear my winter hat, coat, and gloves while inside the house to stay warm.

I think the final conclusion if one could say is "I've outgrown winter."

Andavari. I agree, I,m sick of it . We went from 60 degrees 2 days ago ( first time above freezing for over a month ) & severe storms with severely high winds to blizard warnings shortly after. which luckily missed Us by about 50 miles west of Us. But I,m still dealing with the ice storm from over a month ago. As far as I,m concerned come on global warming. Cowboy

Is this the result of an ice storm?




Never experienced one, thankfully, but I still hate winter.

Roll on the spring.

That's pretty much it. Thankfully however it never got to that extent in Iowa where I live - we basically had downed tree limbs but the biggest problem was the loss of electricity which means for most people no heat - unless they're lucky enough to have a wood burning fireplace. That s**t in that pic looks damn thick!

That looks like its out of a movie. (those trees are crazy looking.)

I hear you there.

Spring, the best time of the year.

I want to live somewhere that has spring all year round.

I think you and me would have to leave these wet and windy shores for that.

Fingers crossed for those 6 numbers one of these Saturdays.

lol, you all should move to either Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast in Queensland Australia, pick the right area and winter barely exists

Though by the end of this week,I'll be visiting Columbus, Ohio for ~12 days and will get to feel cold again, brrrrrrr leaving lovely warm Queensland behind..... then I'll appreciate the heat here much more when I get back

i LOVE winter! I like it because those of you who are cold can pile on layers. But during the summer if you get hot, theres not really much you can do about it! well, it's pretty cold here. It's 58°, and that's in our house! LOL

Hasn't got too cold here in North Carolina lately. It went down to the 20's weeks ago. I like both winter and summer.

Sounds rather inviting. Although your country has a tidbit too many venomous creatures (snakes and spiders) for my taste, thanks to Steve Irwin for educating us all on that. I complain about the cold here the U.S., and in no time I'd be complaining about the heat and venomous creatures in Australia.

Hey,Dennis, You made me do a sitting high jump there. I think I beat my previous record by at least 3.75 inches.

I don`t know whether to apologise Woody, or fall off my chair laughing.

Whoops, just fell off my chair.

Hell, yeah.
I don't know where I would want to move to though because I don't like the heat either.

That's true, but I hate piling on the layers. it makes me feel too restricted.

I totally recognize that . Though I must say I would appreciate a real winter. Currently I wouldn't know whether it's still autumn or already spring ...

[Andavari]

I can't believe it, it's freezing rain really hard right now. I hope there isn't another power outage.
