LittleHurt05 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Looking like another 36+ hour stretch of negative temps next Mon- Wed. Even the best summer city in the world makes it hard to justify this winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the best summer city in the world makes it hard to justify this winter This is the first year that I've thought enough is enough. Normally I love winter. I like the look of snow. I like to drive in snow. I prefer 30 degree weather over 90. Maybe i'm getting older now, I dunno. But it's no longer fun. Walking to/from the union station to get to work is downright painful.

We were due for a bad one since its been relatively mild the last few years. I THINK ive tackled my frozen pipes issue, lets hope. I simply keep my basement about 20 degrees warmer than before.

Walking to/from the union station to get to work is downright painful. Agreed 100%. Having a young kid has made it even tougher to handle. Being cooped in the house all the time sucks, can't even take her outside for a walk. Just going to the store becomes an extra hassle with all the extra warm clothes and everything.

Walking to/from the union station to get to work is downright painful. Wait, you like driving in snow? WTF? My wife hates this weather and is reaching the point some of you guys are. I just can't leave (and I doubt she'd actually want to) because it's home to me and all family is here. Would be too difficult. I just try to deal with the few s***ty months and enjoy the rest of the year. If family was spread out, maybe we'd consider it. QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 23, 2014 -> 11:34 AM) In.

How old is your daughter? My son is 18 months. Old enough to know that the coat, hat and gloves can be taken off with relative ease. Such a pain in the ass. Though I will say he cracks me up whenever he steps in snow. His mind is blown away that the ground below him sinks in and sticks to his shoes. We've played the game about 50 times this winter and it's still hilarious to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah man I love driving in snow. Ice covered roads obviously not, but like last weekend when we got 6-8 inches of powder snow? Hell yes. That was awesome barreling through my neighborhood's unplowed streets. I have a 4WD suv though, so I don't have to worry about getting stuck.

Well there's a huge difference between wheeling around your neighborhood with no traffic, and trying to get somewhere like errands, work, etc where it takes you 10 times as long to get there. And more risk of accident with tons of other cars. Although, I hope your neighbors don't have kids building snowmen outside. Here comes that crazy guy barreling through...
