It's like a blizzard out where I live! I hate it I'd rather have rain than snow it's awful and dangerous. We get the snow every year yet people still act like to their first time driving in it. So irritating. IP: Logged |

I get snowed in for days at a time and one learns how to work with the weather given. Contentment is self attained so do something that brings joy and the weather will improve, in your mind that is Barbie, the roads are treacherous here as well and so many rely on their four wheel drive and believe they are bullet proof.

I hate when they're not four-wheel and they slide from braking too late, Yarfee.Then you have to move forward into the cross-lane to avoid being rear-ended. Firesides are nice! http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum32/HTML/000380.html IP: Logged |

I live in Vegas and the weather is always weird.I managed to catch a cold and hold onto it for the past week. I've sneezed a few times and it's made my nose bleed lol. It was raining heavily in November and there were a few windstorms blowing stuff down and breaking things. Now, we have super cold days that are like in the 20s and some decent days like today, which are good weather. I keep falling asleep. So sick x__x. IP: Logged |

WELL I have seasonal affective disorder, so yeah, the temptation to shut down is extremely strong...but I'm too proud to let it get to me, so I try to stay as active as I normally am. Though...occasionally it is good to lie in bed all day and lament life in such a cold, wintery area... IP: Logged |

Snow is ok. I can deal with snow. What sucks is cold and rain.

It's been a super cold December so far and we are about to get some more Arctic Air. It would be nice to hibernate. I understand why bears do it. IP: Logged |

I love when a new snowfall transforms everything into a pristine, winter wonderland, but I wish it wasn't so cold--the Water in my Fish Bowl freezes. quote:
Fish are ectothermic, and so, by definition, cannot hibernate because they cannot actively down-regulate their body temperature or their metabolic rate. However, they can experience decreased metabolic rates associated with colder environments and/or low oxygen availability (hypoxia) and can experience dormancy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hibernation

I live up in the Mtns and snow here is a different situationQuite, calm, peaceful, when the snow falls and you walk in it whilst it falls the connection with nature is undeniable. However, with little going on socially, this is the time of year I stay home and bang out push ups and crunches IP: Logged |

Baby-making time! More people are born in July/August/September (more than any other months) for this very reason. All that sexing their parents did during *this* time of year. Cold sucks complete a$$. So I relate to you Padre. Oddly enough, I've still been going out! Previously, this was not happening during the Winter w/ me.
