F*ck you Mother Nature!

[the_std]

Sorry, that's -49 Celsius, which is -56 Fahrenheit. Did you know that the human eyeball freezes at -60 Celsius? Fun times!

[Jester]

Until I woke up to a thermometer that said -49.

My FREEZER is shivering at that thought!

[the_std]

I had a dream last night that I came to visit you, Jester! Ahhh, the warm, relaxed and, above all, alcoholic life of the Keys! 'Twas pure bliss!... Until I woke up to a thermometer that said -49.

[Jester]

Oh, not just all the way to Florida.....you have to get it to Florida, all the way down Florida, and THEN 120 miles down the Keys to the very Southernmost City.

Good freakin' luck with that!

[blas]

That's it....who thinks they can throw ice balls all the way to Florida? Anyone?

Ok, something more realistic. Pelting Jester with frozen cheese! Frozen stinky cheese. And last year's frozen nasty trout.

[Jester]

I totally understand, y'all.

Why, just Friday, I had to put on a sweatshirt. Brrrrr!

Lesse here.....

Windchill advisory until midnight tonight. It was well under -20 last night, and it hasn't warmed up at all yet today.

It somehow managed to get up to 35 degrees or so on Saturday during the day. You can imagine....ice everywhere now!

To add insult to injury, all 4 of my car doors were frozen shut. I nearly broke the handle off the passenger side door to get in. The driver's side front door is so beyond frozen that the handle won't budge. The windows are beyond frozen shut.

And more snow on the way tomorrow.

I. Am. Out. Of Here. I swore I'd be out of Wisconsin years ago!

[the_std]

I am giving Mother Nature a mighty "fuck you" today. It was -45 Celsius with the windchill this morning. Like hell I'm getting out of my warm, toasty bed to go stand in the cold for 15 minutes to catch two different buses! Not happening.

This is both sad and scary at the same time.

Does anyone else here want to see Irv getting dominated by Frosty wearing leather and a whip?

[Becks]

Okay, Canada or Wisconsin, who wants me?

Oooops, wrong thread.


C'mon over. Plenty of space 'round here.

[Jester]

You don't know what you're missing.

Actually, I DO. I spent many years of my childhood living in New York and New Jersey. I HAVE lived through winters with snow and ice, and I never want to do it again. (Only dealt with snow once as an adult, when my sister got married in New York in February of 2003.)

[PuckishOne]

Okay, Canada or Wisconsin, who wants me? Because I miss the damned snow!!! The National Weather Service cruelly cancelled our "winter storm warning" today, and now I pout. (And how the hell do you cancel weather anyhow...I mean, really??)


(Any of you who suspect drugs played a part in the above post, honestly, they didn't...I just haven't had a decent winter in 30 years and I kinda miss it. *sniff*)

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

I do too. Which is why I live in a place that doesn't have it.

Aww, think of what you're missing! Attractions such as Frozen Ass Lake and the Waupaca County Polka Festival, Brat Fry And Outhouse Race.

You don't know what you're missing.

Wait, what? They are naming snowstorms now? When did this happen? They don't even name tornadoes! (And yes, I DO know why they don't name tornadoes, thank you very much!)

"Ladies and Gentlemen, the WKRP listening area is under attack from the godless tornadoes..."

Sorry, I've been waiting to use that particular WKRP In Cincinnati quote.

[AdminAssistant]

I do too. Which is why I live in a place that doesn't have it.

Until April, I'm going to be kicking myself ("I could be in Georgia, why didn't I pick UGA again?). It wouldn't be so bad, I've grown somewhat accustomed to the cold. It's the wind. ohhh, the wind. Because there's nothing in this *%%&* state to block it!!

[Bella_Vixen]

Wait, what? They are naming snowstorms now? When did this happen? They don't even name tornadoes! (And yes, I DO know why they don't name tornadoes, thank you very much!)

This naming of snow storms is something that ONLY happens in GB.

In the Milwaukee area, they wouldn't dream of doing something so stupid.
