    This winter will never. Fucking. End. I'm convinced of it. And we still have March to get through. And I have that shit-cannon-swivelling-in-my-direction feeling that I haven't had since four years ago, just before DD got sick. Blugh.

    I am so sick of winter. I'm in Ontario and I've seen just about enough white stuff. Seriously. It can end anytime now.

    We're in a crappy part of the country for winter. Sometimes it's super cold, sometimes mild with temps near 60, but it is perpetually rainy and gray. It's going to be cold and damp all damn week. I'm so ready for the sunshine. I want to live somewhere where it's only spring or fall. No winter or summer. But I think the rest of my crew would hate that...so here we are.

    May the spring breezes head your way soon to blow away your winter blues!

    I feel you sister, I'm in the GTA and we got hammered last night (and not in the good way )  I want spring , or I want fluffy snow, not this wet shit that weighs a ton to shovel...

    Trying to find the silver lining in all this snow we've gotten lately. We've been in such a severe drought here that the city is talking about limiting watering to only a couple of times a month this summer. :( So I just tell myself how badly we need any form of moisture and try to hang in there. @hipmama send your wet stuff here and I'll send you our snow made out of nothing but air. :)

    I got all excited because I'm going to Florida on Friday to see my bestie. The temps have been in the 70s-80s. But when I get there? Low 60s with lows in the 40s. Damnit. Not the tropical paradise I was hoping for. Still packing my bikini anyway.

    I can see daylight at the end of the tunnel!  It's going to be winter until the end of April for us, but the sun is amazing, and up at 700 in the morning and down after 600 at night!  Sunshine makes all the difference in the world, but I can't wait until new baby is born and spring really is here!

    In central NY, you never know when winter will end. Last April, we had a monstrous, freak hail storm on April 26th. Like golf ball sized hail balls (HA! balls... sorry, I've had some Kahlua already). And my crocuses all got smashed to bits. I never, ever, put the motorcycle on the road until May because you can never trust April. There is always one more freak blizzard that buries you just when you thought it was officially BBQ season

    I just want to be able to get outside and walk (or better yet, bike! YAY!) without freezing my ass off and/or breaking my neck on the ice and/or having to trudge through snow and slush.

    21 days!!!!! until spring! 
    “There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.”

    I love winter! Hooray! We haven't gotten one worth a damn in a couple of years. When it gets to be August in VA, you will be able to hear me bitching at your house. Wherever that might be. Through my sealed-up house walls and over my roaring A/C.

    Every time DH & I have the "maybe we should move closer to my family in Ohio" discussion, I remember winter. DH is from SoCal and had never seen snow actually fall from the sky until we went to Ohio in January last year (my dad's funeral, otherwise I would not have been there during that time of the year).

    I get cranky when the high is below 70 or the sun isn't shining. Which is why I'm never leaving SoCal.

    There are still two feet of packed snow out there. Probably 6 inches of packed ice on the laneway. I'd be unimpressed, but spring has to come eventually, right?

    Right?
    See ya in another life, sister!

    It's like a driveway, but really really long. Lol. My husband plows it with the quad and a blade, but it's never been scraped down to the pavement.

    Same here @Willilee. In pittsburgh. I love snow, the more the better, but I can live without freezing rain. And August? Well I *would* say it can disappear altogether, except both my and my son's birthdays are in August.

    I am sick of the weird ass south Texas weather.....close to seventy during the day, almost freezing at night. But not cold enough to kill fucking fleas and mosquitoes. Every time I think about planting in my garden, we get some weird ass cold snap. Nature sucks.

    @just_me, it actually wasn't under the snow, it was just parked on the other side of the ginormous snowbank that used to be my front lawn. And will be again one day, according to prophecy.
