Winter lovers, unite!

[Amethyst Hunter]

Do you LOVE winter?

Do you salivate like a dog at the weather report's mention of more snow?

Do you engage in ritualistic magic charms and ceremonies and pray that that old groundhog flees back into his burrow at the very sight of his nose's shadow?

Do you squeal in demented delight every time the temperature drops below 30 Fahrenheit (or whatever the equivalent in Celsius is)?

Do people give you looks of :wtf: and/or undiluted hatred whenever you tell them you're enjoying the cold and/or snowy weather?

Do you think people who love hot weather are nucking futs?

If you answered "Hell yeah" to any/all of the above, welcome to the Winter Lovers Club! Wear your adoration with all things frigid in pride, for thou art of a unique breed. My fellow cold-weather brethren, we don't get no respect. The time has come for us to demand our share of the seasonal pie!

It is time to announce our legions loud and clear. It is time to don our thermal underwear and long coats and puffy mittens and snowshoes/boots with unashamed joy. It is time for us to roll in the snowbanks, lick the icicles on our drainpipes, and storm the aisles of Mall-Warts and Tar-jays (Targets for you non-fake-French-speaking folks) and demand that they put away the abominations of summer so garishly displayed until the appropriate season has arrived. Unless you are of the persuasion that lives in a tropical environment (*hiss*) year-round (and even those temperatures can sometimes be questionable during the winter months) WHO THE HELL needs a damn pair of ass-baring shorts IN THE MIDDLE OF EFFING FEBRUARY anyway? Bring back our scarves and our gloves and our long pants! We still need those year-round, you know.

It is time for those of us who are cold-blooded in spirit if not in actuality to bond together against the dark forces of warmth that threaten us. We shall glory in our winterdom and revel in every fluffy freezing inch of snowfall that accumulates. Ice? Hah, we laugh at ice! Our salt-sprinkles are tough enough for the glaze that spackles our doorsteps, and unlike the rest of the collective populace, our IQ does not automatically nosedive a thousand points at the first sign of frost on the roads.

We are cold people. We are snow people. We will not be denied our wintry triumphs! For when it is 100+ degrees out with 100% humidity and no rain relief in sight for weeks, we shall be giving all you Hot People the Evil Eye and dragging out our Christmas decorations six weeks before Halloween just to spite. Muaahahahaha.

I :salute: you, O vaunted Winter People! Hold your heads high! Be not ashamed of your love for the Cold White Stuff and the single-digit temperatures and the wind chill that peels the flesh from the faces of mortals less heartier! And the next time a Hot Person bares their teeth at you in utter disgust when you smile at the weatherman's news of 3+ more inches, remember: Snowballs pack better when they're damp. :devil:













Soooooo...do y'all hate me yet? :angel::devil::D

We'll have to design our adoration extra-large, so we can wear our jackets underneath it. :p

Actually, I was with you until the very end and willing to support your cause, when I realized this was a parody thread.

Reasons why winter rocks, in no particular order:
1) Hockey. DUH!!
2) Winter contains the following holidays: Chirstmas, New Year's, Hallowe'en, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, and American Thanksgiving.
3) Seriously, do you guys know how comfy fleece is?
4) All the more reason to find someone to "cuddle" with, ifyaknowwhatImean... :eyewaggle:
5) If somebody asks, "Is it cold enough for ya?", you can push them into a snowbank.
6) Have you seen some of the clothes people wear when it's warm? I'd rather see layers.
7) Snowboarders throw the best parties.
8) Self-righteous joggers kept to a minimum.
9) No mosquito's.
10) Hot chocolate and tea taste that much better after being outside.
11) National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
12) Nothing is cooler than putting alcohol on the deck to keep it cool.
13) Pretty tough to have a snowball fight in July
14) Hoarfrost looks so pretty, and everything seems so much more peaceful and serene in the wintertime.
15) You don't get sweaty ass in the wintertime.
16) Drinking + ice fishing = Guarenteed good times.
17) Go out and buy a Krazy Karpet. Use it. When was the last time you got that much enjoyment out of a sheet of plastic?

Do you LOVE winter?




Soooooo...do y'all hate me yet? :angel::devil::D

actuall yes I do love winter even if this is a pariody thread. just like summer I LOVE when people complain about HOW (insert hot/cold/warm/cool/humid/snowy/rainy/dry/wet/plagues of locusts/flys bigger than eagles/etc.

I have grow up with 4 seasons all of my life and I love every one

[DarthRetard]

Snow may be fun, but who else went to the beach on christmas?

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

I would love the winter we're having if I were a kid.

Behind my parents' house there was a big hill that all the neighborhood kids would go sledding down.

On weekends we'd get up, eat breakfast, go to the hill and go sledding until lunch, then back for more sledding until dinner.

Now, all I get to do with snow is shovel it and drive in it (it's getting kinda hard to drive even when there's no snow falling, because the snowbanks are getting so high you can't see oncoming traffic and the side streets are only wide enough for one car to pass through if people are parked on both sides.)

[Ljt09863]

eh..i only hate winter because i have to drive on the nasty roads...if it wasn't for that, it wouldn't be so bad. unless it gets below zero...then i freeze my butt off.

it really sucks now, cause we are supposed to get some more snow tomorrow, and our city paper reported yesterday that there is only enough salt for hills and major intersections....

[blas87]

It was on the news yesterday at noon that we are running desperately low on salt and sand as well. So from now until whenever spring comes, we have to hope and pray for no more big snow storms (which we know will still happen at least one or two days a week and we'll run out!)

Considering how winters have been in the last few years, obviously they never anticipated a winter like this one, didn't think they'd need so much. Because, you know, the past 5 years or so, there HASN'T been 6-10 feet of total accumulation from December-February.

If snow didn't cause so many car accidents, didn't make driving a living headache and nightmare, and if winters would be above average temps once again, I'd be happy.

Well, that depends on where you're located... :)
In my neck of the woods (Baltimore, MD) Halloween and Thanksgiving are still mild Fall weather, St. Patrick's Day is warmish(and usually rainy) Spring weather and most years Christmas is in the mid-40's(farenheit) and sometimes higher. It's really only Winter cold here in January and February.

And to make many of you really laugh - when I say cold, I mean 20's or 30's.

Still, y'all enjoy the Winter. I'll just sit here under a blanket on my couch with my doggies until Spring. :wave:

[lordlundar]

Yes! Unite winter lovers!

Makes it easier to dump the ton of snow on all of you in one shot.:devil:

That is what our snowblowers are for. :p (Besides, if we go down, we're taking y'all with us MUAAHAHAHAHAHA)

[COMINATCHA]

Aaaw I wish for a bit of Winter right now. I'm in summer at the moment - a very hot summer at that! The airconditioning is going full-force. Ive got half an hour of work left until I have to get into my sweltering hot car...don't ya just hate that? Can't really relate right now I spose...hey can someone send me a lil ball of snow please? I've never seen snow...

[Spiffy McMoron]

I've never seen snow...

Never seen snow? I've got a yard full of it.

I'd put some in an envelope, but I don't think that the postal employees would like me very much. :p

[lordlundar]

That is what our snowblowers are for. :p (Besides, if we go down, we're taking y'all with us MUAAHAHAHAHAHA)

Pfft! Snowblowers. What a wuss! I've had to shovel over a foot of snow by hand in one shot this year. You can't outlast me!:devil:

[Bella_Vixen]

The one and only place in WI that is not low on salt is the company that was hired to plow/salt the lot at my store.

They salt so much (before it snows) that it looks like it DID already snow. It's awful. My car is <supposed to be> dark green. For most of the winter, it's been a dirty, salty white from sitting on the lot for 9+ hours a day, 5 days a week.

Please, come pick up some salt for YOUR driving needs. :wave:

[crazylegs]

Wish we could have a decent amount of snow, all we ever get is some light dusting on the hills that surround the town on three sides. Boooo!

[Becks]

Please, come pick up some salt for YOUR driving needs. :wave:

Silly woman. You better be selling it!!!

...And taking bucketloads home for the driveway.
