TD_washingtonredskins Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Depending on the timing I am still a sucker for a winter storm. Anything wintry that happens between Thanksgiving and New Years is welcome in my book. After that, it needs to be something significant so that it's an excuse to stay home. I like when the weather aligns with the holidays. My ideal "winter" would be a couple snow events from mid-November through the first week of January and then an extended spring!

As I got older, that all went away. Snow doesnt keep me from working, the energy bill to keep my house warm comes outta my own pocket, I just got no use for winter weather. Totally agree! NOTHING has a more negative effect on my business and my wallet than cold weather. We don't have winter sports here, there's never anything to do with the snow other than move it. And the cold ONLY costs me money while keeping me from making more! #EndWinter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcl05 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Temp this morning for my 3/4 mile walk to work here in Rochester, MN: 2 degrees. Wind chill -14. Lovely. I love the bitter cold of Minnesota winters. Makes everything feel like an adventure. With the right gear (which I have), its totally fine...

bcl05 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I've lived in Texas heat and Minnesota cold. Give me the cold every time. I always tell my kids: "Stop complaining. It's not cold. You're just not dressed appropriately." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how I feel about the snow, in particular. Loved gearing up and walking the streets with my dogs during winter storms back in MD. Bring a toy, a flask of vodka or bourbon, a flashlight, and head out for an hour or two. Love putting on layers and fighting through the elements. I'd shovel my sidewalk excitedly, and my closest 4 neighbors' sidewalks too. I'd love to move north, but Colorado is close to me, and as we all know Colorado has some real awesome laws. In Tulsa, our average temps are a little higher than DC's average temps, and there are no Nor'easters. I moved here from MD RIGHT BEFORE the record breaking blizzard last year. Bro, I was heated. Literally. It was something like 60 in Tulsa those days. ****in bull****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Yall catching a wintery mix back in the motherland? Here in Tulsa, our freak temperature drop is happening overnight. 19 for a high tomorrow, 7 for a low. Then back up in to the mid 40s for highs.

dfitzo53 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Yeah pretty icy looking out our window but we haven't had any reason to try to go anywhere. Got some grocery shopping done last night and was pleased to see it didn't look like WW3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corcaigh Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Yeah ... we had a solid quarter inch plus of ice in Loudoun. Even walking out in the back yard with the dog was treacherous. Kids in the neighborhood had their ice skates on going up and down the street. Absolutely impossible to be on the roads early this morning but the thaw is well underway.

Mark The Homer Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I've never seen forecasters with their heads further up their butts They're failing in spectacular fashion. It started this morning. They said the temp here would rise to 34 by 10 AM. 37 by 11 AM. 40 by Noon. And the temps would keep increasing steadily all afternoon and going into the evening and overnight until 7 AM tomorrow morning where it would peak at 59 degrees. No decreases in temps, just increases. My ass. It was 35 at noon. The highest it got today was just under 38 degrees at around 2 PM. Then the temp started falling just as one would expect during a normal day with the sun going down. Hourly forecast insists the temp will jump the next hour by 3 degrees, but it never does. It just keeps falling each hour. They've been saying this every hour ALL DAY LONG since this morning. And yet the temp keeps falling. Right now it's 33.6 degrees and falling a tenth of a degree every few mins. There is no sign this is going to change. And yet, the hourly keeps insisting it will increase 3 degrees next hour. This has been going on ALL DAY LONG. How can they be THAT WRONG ALL DAY LONG???????????? Seriously, it was supposed to round out at around mid 40s this afternoon and then head into the 50s late evening. These ****ing morons aren't even CLOSE They've been absolutely wrong ALL DAY and yet they refuse to accept reality and change their forecast. Morons. https://weather.com/weather/hourbyhour/l/20833:4:US Edit: Now it's 7:37 PM and the temp keeps falling. It's now 32.0 degrees. TWC is telling me it's 33 and it'll be 35 in an hour but I know it's not true. So I went to accuweather and you know what they say? They tell me it's currently 43 degrees in Brookeville! Hahhahaa And increasing! HAHAHAHHAHAHAH What in the world is going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
