I tried to. And I kind of knew this winter would be more challenging and so far it has been. And we have 2 whole months to go of it too. Ugh.

Just be glad that you don't live in Twillingate, Newfoundland, where it can snow as late as June and as early as October.
(I have a friend who grew up there. It is called "The Iceberg Capital of the World.")

I'd move lol. At least next week looks better. I'll take 40s and some rain at this point. Let it melt the ice. And 40 degrees will feel warm compared to this.

 

[milagros317]

Yes, once you get used to 20°F, then 40°F seems warm.

My gas tank was frozen shut. I went to get gas and the attendant helped me pop it open. All ice was inside of it.

Lucky that a warm spell didn't melt the ice and put water into your gas tank.

 

[Edge]

Lucky indeed. I think I'm getting used to the cold. 40 really is going to feel warm next week. And I saw one day it might even get close to 50. Time to get the shorts out!

 

[milagros317]

I think I will wear long pants even if it gets up to 50. 😛

 

[Edge]

Yeah I'm not taking out shorts till May lol.

 

[milagros317]

I am not putting away my warmest hat either. Not until late March, anyway.

 

[Edge]

St. Patrick's Day (your bday) for me

 

[milagros317]

I will be outdoors a lot tomorrow. Glad it will get up to the 30's.

 

[Edge]

I always say this but think about what you just said. Glad it will be up to the 30s lol.
In October 60 degrees is "cold" but in March it feels "hot." We get used to the weather and then when it gets cooler/warmer it's all relative.

 

[milagros317]

Yes, after a week in Chicago when the temperature never got above -7°F, it felt warm when it got up to 15°F. 😛

 

[Edge]

Exactly...well I still want it to be warmer Mils. I hope the other 11 months can go as slow as January does because January feels like it's 2 months long.

 

[milagros317]

I suspect that March will go just as slowly as January is going. (It will for me, because I become impatient for my birthday to arrive.)

 

[Edge]

Ironically my dog Rollins birthday is same as yours. He would have been 8 this year. And you will be 49 🙂.

 

[milagros317]

Actually, my age will be 4A (in hexadecimal). That is 4x16 + 10 = 74 written in base 16 also known as hexadecimal. 4A looks a lot younger.

 

[Edge]

I like that! 4A...lol.
I turned 45 last summer. Told this lady at work. I'm 45. People think I look 35. I feel like I'm 25. And I act like I'm 5. That sums me up.

 

[milagros317]

That is very amusing. 😛

That is very amusing. 😛

There's a guy where I work (he's kind of retired now but works a few hours once in a while) and does like 100 mile bike tours in different countries. Talk about being in good shape.

 

[milagros317]

If you can do 100 miles on a bicycle, then you are surely in good shape. Also, it is a lot easier on the joints than running a marathon.

 

[Edge]

Yeah I would never run a marathon. Are we ever going to see the sun?

 

[milagros317]

Yes, the sun will shine again this winter and also in the spring. 😀

 

[Edge]

Yeah I don't even begin to think about spring until Valentine's Day. Even then it's too early.
