They reportedly had some "lake effect" snow as far East as NEW JERSEY!!!!!!!

It is like -15 here with the windchill ... it is like 5 degrees here right now...

You need some Bustelo...and quick!

And not from a drip coffeemaker either...straight out of the aluminum espresso pot.

i love all four seasons. it's three degrees here in minneapolis right now, i feel sorry for the little animals outside, days like this. don't forget to feed your local birds! thank you that is all

I think animals have a different tolerance for waether cold n heat

they know where to go to keep warm, and sheltered

Last year, Winter completely skipped over most of Michigan. The average high was like in the 50's the entire season and I think we only had measurable snow once.

This season, we still haven't had very much snow but this week we've had pretty fridget temperatures. But, considering the fact I practically roasted every day from March thru September, I'm not complaining. This past Summer was like hell on earth! We had two Summers in a row with unbearably hot weather. I hope we don't have a third Summer like that. It's easier to stay warm than to stay cool so I will take Winter over Summer any day.

i sure hope so!!! but, i'm feeding the outside critters anyway

It was a -19F/-28C windchill when I went to the bus stop this morning. I missed my bus by about 10 seconds and had to wait for the next one. This is the kinda morning I hate winter.

i feel indifferent about winter as i know it's necessary for the planet to take us through seasons to restore and regenerate life on it's surface. (mind you i am not a cold weather type of person - but oh well.)

i luv the seasons in this order:

1st. autumn - for the colors it brings and the awesome sunsets

2nd summer - for the wonderful warmth, the beach fun, quiet lovely evenings and outdoor concerts

3rd spring - for the new (re) birth of life, flowers, baby birds, rainbows and people bursting out after the cold season.

4. winter has it's major challenges, but then so does life

Come live in England, the Seasons never change, It just freakin rains all year round

Hell, we had two weeks of sun lat year and the authorities where shouting a drought..............Then it freakin rained for the next 8 months

Though we just had some awesome snowfall, though everyone is moaning at that now......

I love autumn and winter, the weathers pleasant, its cool but not cold and days are long and bright enough for outdoors activity.

What I don't like is summer, bone dry conditions, 27 degree heat everyday (80f) that feels like 100 with no airconditioning and 90% humidity. What else long sunny hot days that make your house feel like an oven, and the sluggishness it ensures. Plus we have flies like you wouldn't believe even with two spray machines, cans of fly spray (Not looking 4wd 2 cancer ) we are still getting the little bastards.

I wish we had snowy cold winters, sound like fun. Here our winters its like 16 in the daytime and 8 or 10 at night, (50s and 60s for those of you using 18th century measurement systems) and theres more rain and absolutely no snow or any chance of getting it. So called reports from 2011, were those, so called.

Its currently 28.5c with clear skies and almost no wind, we have had 9.2mm of rain this month (thats about 1/3 of an inch) and it feels like Arizona here, no relief, February is the hottest month.

Americans and British, its our equivalent of your Late July heat here at the moment.

winter makes no sense, harsh and dark

autumn is decadent and boring

spring is a pointless long-ass transition

so, summer all the way!

I was okay with winter when I was younger, but the older I get, the more I hate it. I'm sitting in the office today and my feet are freezing. And I have boots and socks on.

I look out the window and it's 19º and snowing. Earlier this week, I had to make sure the gas tank on my car was full, to ensure my gas line wouldn't freeze in the sub-zero temperatures.

At least I don't have to shovel, like I did when I was a kid. I'd have to hurt somebody.

I don't think I've ever shoveled. Fuck that shit.

Genesia said:

I have to say, though - I'm better with the cold than I am with extreme heat. I mean...you can always bundle up more, but there's a limit to how much you can take off without getting arrested.

I totally agree. There is nothing on earth worse than being too hot and having pretty much nothing you can do about it.

Ideally, it'd be autumn all year round. But that notwithstanding, winter isn't so bad, IMHO.

I love winter, but I seriously need a break right now. The humidity in my room is beyond annoying and I'm constantly getting sick and shit. I need to move the fuck out.

yup...agreed.

so much easier to get warm than it is to keep cool.

I use to live in Massachusetts.

I hated the snow and the sheets of ice that would form when the snow melted around 1pm and froze at around 4pm.

I am much happier now living in New Orleans and I will never move north of Atlanta EVER again unless their is HUGE money involved.

Another thing is that I suffer form huge bouts of depression. I feel so much better when I am in a warm place. It may be the length of days or just that I get out more, but clearly my mood is lifted.

LOL,

We have winter 2 days out of ever week in December, January and February as far as I can tell.

It is more of a late fall compared to Massachusetts.

just have to say that I have this particular bird feeder. keep an eye on it. after the squirrels swing it around and get the seed level down the little birdies get inside and need to be rescued.

winter is probably not my fave. nice to see the sun today after about two weeks of socked in fog and freezing temps.

The older I get the colder the winter seems to feel and its not even that cold in Cali.

And this is why there are a gazilion old people in Southern Florida. Miami is the only truly tropical place in the U.S.
