ENOUGH!!! I HATE this winter! Long Rant... About This Page:

[A. Monster]

So yestrday I drive up to my house, check my mailbox for my check from the insurance company paying off my poor totaled car (slid on ice - that doesn't happen in the summer). No check. Look over to my left, my garbage pails are still full - no pickup because of the snow. Go to pull into my driveway that DH plowed the night before, my car gets stuck half in the driveway and half in the road because the wind blew a foot of snow back into our driveway. Fight with the car for ten minutes, park around the corner (where we're allowed to park on the street) and half to walk across foot high snow in my backyard wearing loafers and pantyhose. Get in my house, decide to try shoveling, the door knob won't work, it's stuck. Have to take it apart and put it back together, and the stupid screws didn't want to line up for the longest time. Tried shoveling, way too much snow so I decided to try to plow with the lawn tractor. Stupid thing won't start.

I have simply had enough of this winter. All those in favor of an early spring say "aye"! Right now all I can say is "aye yi yi."

I do keep trying to send you some of our warm weather - well it's warm, compared to what you guys are experiencing, but I can't be pushing it hard enough. Let's try again:

<font color="blue"> I'm so there with you! It's hard enough to get out and get around at 8 1/2 months preggers, but with the piles of snow - and icy sidewalks where some people haven't shoveled - I feel like a prisoner in my house! NO MORE SNOW! </font>

AYE, AYE, AYE. Right there with you Amy!! Boy, I don't mind the snow, but this cold has been terrible. Since the snow is so light, we're having the same problem, it keeps blowing across the driveway, and DH has been out snowblowing every morning. I think you need a vacation to a nice warm place. Sending you

Your post cracked me up - at least your sense of humor hasn't frozen over! Hang in there.

Signed,
Frozen in the south, too!

I don't mind the snow as long as I don't have to drive in it. It's the bone chilling cold with wind that is driving me crazy! I caon't remember the last time the temp was 32 or above 30 would be a heat wave!!!!


Monday is Ground Hog Day. Is that the half way point to spring????

Guess you don't want to hear that I just took the dog outside and I didn't need a jacket!

I do truly sympathize with all of you as I do come from Winnipeg and from GoofyMom's posts, you know how cold it is so I've been there. However, I moved away to the coast and do not have to endure it anymore (or at least for very short periods of time).

Stay warm and safe all!!!

AYE!!!

We don't have as much snow as you all, but the high temperature yesterday was 2 and it's been getting down to
-12 at night. I have to go to NIU and walk around the campus because of course there isn't any convenient parking and so I look like the kid in A Christmas Story before I get going and by the time I get to class, I'm sweating and then it's take off all the layers, figure out where to put it all in the crowded classrooms and try not to freeze during the lecture as the sweat dries. Then bundle up again, get back to my car, remove some layers before driving (you can't steer if you can't put your arms down! ) and get home in all the blowing, drifting snow that only is in the way when I drive back and forth to school.

Thanks for giving us a forum to rant - I really needed it.

We were just talking about this yesterday at work!!! I think we're all tired of the freezing cold temps + the snow that just won't go away!!!!

For whatever reason, I decided to go out last night to get our grocery shopping done. Bad idea I thought, as my nose almost froze off while putting the groceries in the car and then taking them out of the car and then carting them into the house. Luckily my 13 y.o. offered (?) to help, but then again, his birthday is coming up - is he buttering me up for something? Here's to Spring!!!
