When it's cold, you can put on a coat and stay warm.  When it's hot, there ain't a damn thing you can do about it.

Hot weather, I get nearly Naked (well short shorts and boots) and drink Iced Tea... Heck what the neighbors think of my near 95% tanned body... This cold has me befuddled, I put on 10 layers of clothes and start sweating (then I get cold)... The game of peeling off/putting on layers of clothes every 10 minutes is for the birds. I would never make it up north, my feet sweat too much and thus unless I rotated socks every 30 minutes I would just be bear food outside.

When it gets up to 12 degrees in March, we all get pretty excited. Feels like spring.  :tongue2:

I am right in the middle of all this. My Christmas plans are up in the air right now.. 9999hair out0000

Local weather forcasters won't even estimate how much snow we will get with winds expected 40-50mph making the temps feel like -20 to -30...blizzard conditions.

Yikes! Blizzard conditions are no fun!  I hope your Christmas plans still work out @mystery-ak

Ugh, we're looking at single digits this weekend. I extend a single digit to the weather!!

I'll see that and raise it one more.

If you're looking for an escape, better try Hawaii, Palm Springs, or Punta Cana.  The front is going to dip into the western Caribbean.

We had a very nasty storm last week that took out power and dumped over 20 inches of snow on the ground. We’re supposed to have another storm that supposed to dump about 6 inches in the next several days but it’s the wind and I went to go and fill my birdfeeders this morning then temperatures of -12.

I have a young lab that really loves the first snow but I think he’s decided this cold is too much for him

It's awesome if you live in the sticks and can just hole up till things get cleared out.

Trying to drive in it for work and errands is the part I hate.

Icicles formed from roof runoff have a slight flavor of bird shit.  Don't ask me how I know this.

I could take you places that would make your soul ache for the beauty. There is nothing more serene, more pristine,  than a high mountain lake in the winter. And bitter, bitter cold is a necessary part of that beauty...

Besides... a hot tent levels the playing field.  happy77

Only the first ones... By this time of year, most of the birds are south of here.

As much as I (can) complain about the long, bitter winters, our dog absolutely loves the snow and the cold. She’s Golden Retriever/Great Pyrenees and is definitely in her happy place when the temperatures are below zero.
I wish I could see winter her way…

It is times like these when I miss my huskies. They truly love the winter, and haven't a care in the world how cold it gets.

Winter storm prep: National Weather Service says 'once-in-a-generation' storm approaching Buffalo region

The National Weather Service (NWS) is describing the winter storm bearing down on Buffalo and western New York ahead of Christmas as a "once-in-a-generation" event.

The declaration comes as much of the Great Lakes region is under winter storm watches and warnings during one of the busiest travel periods of the year.

"This once-in-a-generation storm will produce high winds east of Lake Ontario Thursday night into Friday morning, then over a larger coverage of our region Friday into Saturday," the NWS’ Buffalo office said Wednesday.

"Winds could gust over 65 mph, leading to at least scattered power outages, if not widespread outages," it added...........

Welp. I'm blowed in for the next couple days. My kid can handle the chores... and when it ain't so cold, and everything is kinda plowed out, he can bring the tractor down to dig me out. my plow ain't moving an inch without a butt-ton of digging.

Aw, no worries. I am just fine. Just can't get a pizza for a little while.
Got plenty of food, and wood... And I have grown quite capable of sitting on my ass and waiting. Nothing else for it. happy77

The truck is in a drift to the door handles - which, since it is a lifted 4x4 on 33s, that's over 4', and I just don't feel like digging the danged thing out. besides, even if I did, it has to push 4' around to get moving, which would be a chore. We're at -6 and heading for -20 something tonight. And tomorrow. After that, thaw.

So it can wait.
