Twinkie | Saturday, November 16, 2002 - 04:34 am     And its just a bit much for this FL girl to take right now. BRRRRRR Buffalo winter!!! |
Jo_5329 | Saturday, November 16, 2002 - 04:45 am     Oh my! Hope you have your thermal underwear and some good mittens, a warm coat and hat! I grew up on Southern MN -- and I hate cold and snow. That's why I moved to the south. Although, we've had to have the heater on for the last few days. Drink lots of hot chocolate, dig out the sweats and long johns! Jo |
Jagger | Saturday, November 16, 2002 - 04:53 am     Sounds like winter is here, how much snow have you gotten Twinkie. We got snow here a couple of times already but it all melted. If it's nasty out today I think we'll get some too, it's only 25 degrees outside right now so it is cold enough to snow and stay. Jo you were smart to get out of MN, some of us just haven't done that yet, one of these days |
Twinkie | Saturday, November 16, 2002 - 04:57 am     Jo, the first thing I'm probably going to do is kill hubby. I bundled up to go downstairs to get something warm to drink and when i checked the thermostat it was set on 59. Yes, hubby is the first to go for this FL girl. GRRRRRRR |
Twinkie | Saturday, November 16, 2002 - 05:03 am     Jagger, Its too d@mn cold for me. If its below 60 its too d@mn cold. Right now its 31 and I consider that too d@mn cold for humans. And the next time I see the thermostat set at 59 hubby is in big trouble. Polar bears should not live in houses!! |
Jagger | Saturday, November 16, 2002 - 05:16 am     LMAO Twinkie, I agree I hate the cold too, um you definitly wouldn't want to see my thermostat, it's set at 54 degrees right now and my toes feel like they have frost bite. I have it programed to turn down during the evening and with it being the weekend it doesn't kick back up to like 8 am, I got up early today and never cranked it up, usally sits at 65. I bet you were wishing you'd be back in Florida right about now. |
Gail | Saturday, November 16, 2002 - 05:41 am     It is 19 degrees here right now and taht is fine with me. I don't mind cold weather - I like it better then hot weather. We had our first taste of winter for this year the week before last - it was bitterly cold and windy for about 4 days - complete with freezing rain and a little bit of snow. |
Kaili | Saturday, November 16, 2002 - 05:59 am     Snowed here once just a tiny bit, although Wausau (central WI) had 8 inches already....My mom lives in Northern WI (south shore Lake Superior about 30 miles east of duluth) and they have snow sticking. Anyway, weather check for east central wisconsin: 7:56 am 27 degrees with a windchill of 19. High today expected to be 36. We're 10 degrees below average. Supposed to warm up next week. It's the wind that does it- cold is okay- kinda nice when you're outside in winter and it's cold and snowy but you get in that perfect spot where the sun feels warm....I love that! |
Juju2bigdog | Saturday, November 16, 2002 - 08:47 am     Gale force winds here today (Northwest coast). Temp has dropped ten degrees in the past hour from an eerily warm 50 degrees to 40 now. |
Twinkie | Saturday, November 16, 2002 - 11:03 am     Well we have about 4 inches of snow still on the ground now. Its sticking and we're supposed to get more today. ARGGGGGG |
Wargod | Saturday, November 16, 2002 - 11:18 am     My local weather says its 52 here now....I'm freezing! I'm a southern California girl...we spend mid-May through about mid-September with temps reaching 90+...I don't like cold! If I saw snow stick on the ground here for more than a day I'd freak out, literally! I know you guys up north are just laughing at me, but I really hate cold weather. I want summer back!!! |
Sabbatia | Saturday, November 16, 2002 - 11:19 am     Twinkie, I hate to tell you this....but my sis moved from TX to MN 14 yrs ago, and she STILL HATES IT!! Last winter, the complaint was you get in your car with moisture on your shoes to go to work, and by the time you get there, it has thawed and your floormats are wet. They freeze during the day, melt on the way home....so you have to take them inside to dry out to start over the next day. It's funny how little things like that start to get to you!! BUT, at least being from TX, she was used to seeing snow once or twice a yr....for a day or two. BTW, she has asthma and the Dr told her not to breathe the cold air. What a joke!! Wish I had some words of wisdom to make you feel better. |
Draheid | Saturday, November 16, 2002 - 11:20 am     Twinkie: Just for you!
I'd love to have snow!! My kids have never really seen any! |
Northstar | Saturday, November 16, 2002 - 11:43 am     I grew up in northern MN (about an hour south of Winnipeg) and now live in Anchorage. A couple days ago, we set a record for the latest recorded snow fall, and we only got about a tenth of an inch. Love the snow and crisp air, hate the ice and darkness. We're by the water, so it's not very cold (relatively speaking!!). It's not as cold as where I grew up anyway. But let me tell you, a trip to the tropics come January is almost mandatory. Did I mention I hate the darkness? |
Twinkie | Saturday, November 16, 2002 - 12:20 pm     Dra, I had never seen a single flake of snow until I moved up here 7 years ago. It was soooo much fun at first!!! What an idiot I was!!!! |
Twinkie | Saturday, November 16, 2002 - 12:21 pm     I think hubby needs to find a job down south. |
Wargod | Saturday, November 16, 2002 - 12:23 pm     Heh, Dra, we were te same way about the kids..poor kids have never seen any snow, LOL. So one Valentines day, we took our two, my sis and bro in law took my neice, my other "brother" took his and we drove up to Mountain High Ski Resort for a day in the snow. Me, my sis, and our girls lasted about 12 minutes. Then Dakota fell in the snow and we were done. We spent the rest of the trip in the car with the heater and radio going and the girls in the backseat playing. Within about an hour and a half we had the little boys in the car with us...unfortunately the big boys were having fun and played for four more hours while we waited in the car for them, LOL. |
Sia | Saturday, November 16, 2002 - 01:51 pm     For all my life I've lived where there are four distinct seasons, and I love the springtime (which is entirely too short) and just hate ice and snow and bitter cold. For a short time I lived in L.A. and loved the heat and sunny days, but the west coast was too far from family, home and all things familiar; besides, I don't have the bikini figure or mentality, so I didn't fit in there at all! My children love the snow and cold, as does their father, and they all play outdoors building snowmen, sled-riding, and making snow-angels. I'm included in these frigid activities only to the extent that I have to dress the children in their winter apparel, mince to the door in bare feet and lean out with my camera to take a couple of photos, and then hightail it back to the kitchen with a cup of hot cocoa and at least a half-hour of peace and quiet!! When they come in again, it's my job to clean up the melted snow, hang the wet garments to dry, put away boots and accessories, and get the kids into a warm tub of sudsy water to take off the chill. After their bath, I give them hot chocolate with marshmallows and ooh and ah over their snow creations that I can see from the windows. I have even taken photos of the snowmen THROUGH THE KITCHEN WINDOW so I don't have to go outdoors!! I really don't like cold weather. My children ARE polar bears!! |
Buttercup | Saturday, November 16, 2002 - 02:15 pm     Sia, could these be your children?

Aussiedeb | Saturday, November 16, 2002 - 04:33 pm     Twinkie, I am the same, at first when I moved to Ohio from Sunny Australia I loved the sight of snow and was out in it playing, taking pics etc... but now, its like, well I have to go to college and work and drive in it...same here..what an idiot I was lol.. Like today, I came back from Dayton which is 2hrs south of us and as I get to the next town here I see white stuff everywhere, but it did look good except that I had to fill up the gas tank and boy was I freezing my butt off.. I really need to buy some thermals real quick. Bring on Summer I am ready for it now hehe.. Buttercup, what cute pics they are...poor babies just dont know do they? lol |
Twinkie | Saturday, November 16, 2002 - 04:43 pm     Deb, when I moved up here I had nothing heavier than a windbreaker! We had to go out and buy socks, gloves, thermals, scarves, coat, boots, hats, earmuffs, etc, etc, etc!!! The hardest thing for me to get used to was having to put on soooo many clothes just to walk out the door!! I bet its the same for you!! |
Aussiedeb | Saturday, November 16, 2002 - 06:31 pm     Yep it was the same for me.. I came here with just a woolen winter coat that was enough for Australia. Didnt take long for me to be freezing and Dave had to buy me something more appropriate. I too am still not used to layering, but am trying to learn that one. |
Twinkie | Saturday, November 16, 2002 - 06:36 pm     Same here, Deb! |
Grooch | Saturday, November 16, 2002 - 06:43 pm     Went to friend's house today and because the news said there was a cold front coming, I wore jeans. I was helping her outside, and it was soooooo fricking hot outside, my jeans were glued to my body and I was sweating to death. Luckily, I brought my bathing suit with me, and I spent the afternoon in the pool, lounging. Boy, do I enjoy winters in South Florida. <g> And for the record: It is to fricking hot down here right now. Send us some of your cold weather so I can turn off the a/c and save some money. |
Grooch | Saturday, November 16, 2002 - 06:48 pm     P.S. The nice thing about this time of year is that all my orchids are blooming. They are so beautiful and they smell so nice. I just replanted my window box and the mums I planted lasted year came back up and are blooming now too. I never expected that. I saw 2 hummingbirds in my back yard yesterday. My roses are doing well also. Boy, I love this this this time of year! I can't wait for January!!!!! |
