It's that time again--F*ck you Mother Nature!

[Jester]

...we're actually having something closer to a New Jersey winter.

Cold, with frozen smokestacks, iced over toxic waste, tall drifts of hairspray, periodic muggings, and occasional mob hits?

[Becks]

I don't even wanna be here...although my new chance of moving, yay! is to...Wisconsin. Why do I have a feeling it's even colder there?

Don't worry. Despite what Blas is saying, we're actually having something closer to a New Jersey winter.

[fireheart]

And may you merrily roast in....

Oh, you're in Oz. Nevermind.

Love how you changed your tune there

Today hit temps of over 35C. It's currently school holidays here.

And at the moment we've hit another hot spell.

Don't move here.

Once winter starts, it never ends.

[Eisa]

I feel so loved. -deadpan-

Jester, you might as well give up...I live where it goes below freezing (though only a couple of times a year), and I get just as much flak.

Oh, I wasn't looking to avoid any flak. Personally, I rather like it. I just thought I'd "give back," as it were, and let all the people that regularly get annoyed by my tropical gloating that, at least for a bit, I too am chilly.

Well, come visit then. It's been regularly dipping below zero.

No.

And by "no" I mean OH HELL NO!

The only things I like cold are my drinks, thank you very much.

[blas]

You better be! *shakes fist*

I know, it's not your fault. No worries, I hold no grudges against you personally.

[chikenlady]

I am furious.

Supposedly, a "strong" clipper system (versus the "weaker" ones we've had lately) from Canada is going to be responsible for a quite large dumping. On my birthday.

You Canadians keep your bullshit snow to yourselves. Please.

I'm sorry

[Eisa]

Not even remotely likely, Eisa, short of something cataclysmic, as the coldest recorded temperature EVER in Key West was 41F.

For those of you that annually tell me to go fuck myself as I gloat about living on a tropical island, you'll be happy to know that the last couple of weeks have had some cold spells here, with the temps dropping down into the low sixties/high fifties, which, while it won't sound cold to you, is actually rather chilly, especially when the wind comes in off the Atlantic...and it's been REALLY windy lately. Two Tuesdays ago was especially cold (coldest night of the winter so far), and made my New Year's Resolution to ride my bicycle to work rather than drive my truck rather entertaining. Not so much on the ride in in the morning, but on the ride home at night....Whoa, Nelly, that was less than fun. (While I gave myself credit for not taking a cab home, I still froze my bippies off.)

And the cold spell continues....this whole weekend, when I've been out and about, I've had a heavy sweatshirt on, which is basically our version of winter gear. Okay, a sweatshirt and shorts, but my legs never get cold--other people are wearing long pants down here.

So, yeah, this is my time to NOT gloat. Enjoy it. It won't last very long.

Oh, I am enjoying it. It would be nice if it was actually in the twenties like it is here, though, and that's on a warm day.
