Moderators Andavari Posted February 25, 2007 Moderators Share Posted February 25, 2007 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." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboy357 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the final conclusion if one could say is "I've outgrown winter." 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fireryone Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I want to live somewhere that has spring all year round. 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 fireryone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFiresInTheSky Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 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!

Moderators Andavari Posted February 26, 2007 Author Moderators Share Posted February 26, 2007 you all should move to either Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast in Queensland Australia, pick the right area and winter barely exists 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woody Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 You mean something like this: Hey,Dennis, You made me do a sitting high jump there. I think I beat my previous record by at least 3.75 inches. It is never difficult to distinguish between a Scotsman with a grievance and a ray of sunshine. P. G.

Hell, yeah. I don't know where I would want to move to though because I don't like the heat either. 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 That's true, but I hate piling on the layers. it makes me feel too restricted.

Sputnik Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 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 ...
