I wish I could love the snow as much as these Red Pandas...

But I can't.
This February is the 2nd coldest February on record for around here. It hasn't been this cold since 1875!

The average temp for this month is only 14.5 degrees and that's not including windchill. I am so done with it all!

I must admit those Red Pandas are too cute though!

So, how many more days until Spring?

          I'm with you on that, Terra. I am just exhausted and totally tired out from the snow and cold, especially the dang below 0 temps. On the brighter side, at least we don't live in Snowachusetts.

            Terra, you'd be loving Oregon right now. We've had unseasonably warm weather this February - it was in the low 60s earlier this week. Flowers are blooming as if it's April.

                Well, if it's any consolation, February is normally very gloomy here, with a lot of dark gray clouds and frequent rain. We don't get the super cold temps (in this part of Oregon) like you do in Michigan, but the endless dreary weather (which starts in October or November and typically goes through March at least) is challenging.

                The only thing that keeps me sane during the winter months is the natural beauty here and the year-round green from all the rain.

                  HERE, it looks like it MIGHT start getting warmer in mid to late march. On Sunday, IIRC, we expect 5-8 inches of snow!

              Central OR got unusual amounts of snow early on - then it warmed up. There was enough snow and rain out there to make a good summer season, but other parts of the state are still suffereing. One of my pals along the central I-5 corridor is reporting rain today.

              Down here in NV, the caps of the mountains are in snow - but not enough. It's rained about 3 days since I've been here, and not all that heavily, but snow has hit the higher mountains. and the lower ones got dusted a few times. SO.........we're still in drought here.

              It's kinda surprising, though that here only 500 miles S of where I was it's about 10 degrees warmer than up there. I LIKES it. I likes it a lot.

              Terra..........ya know - staying frozen half the year isn't gonna make you age any slower. Maybe you should start thinking of going somewhere that isn't buried and arctic several months a year...hm?

                Hahahaha! Cute, Sal!

                I just couldn't leave the grand kids at this point. And as of right now, I don't ever want to move again.

                I still am not all unpacked and situated after this last move.

          Don't worry Terra, help is at hand!



          But, this thread is pretty funny, at least today, our weather is nuts at present!

          Our current temp, is 20 degrees, which is cool, but with 80% humidity, even with overcast conditions and showers, it is like an open oven outside!

          An icecube wouldn't survive 5 minutes outside. Sorry to rub it in guys, but we are getting the other side of the coin!

          I have to admit l don't like winter, but cooler conditions at night would be good!

            The humidity is high BECAUSE of the overcast conditions numb nuts.

              Wow! Aren't you cantankerous today!

              I recommend you go take a shower and feel better or else get yourself banned for insulting other members.

              Choice is yours, makes no difference to me.

                Yes, l would offer him a kitten, but l think that he is past the kitten stage?

                I have a fair idea what FFS, means, and he would probably be banned for life if he spelt that one out!

                Since he used two "f"s instead of one, and made a spelling error, (regarding anatomy) since it is hot where l am, not cold, l suspect one of his large bottles of alcohol has been recently emptied, because he had or is having a bad day?

                Which means that his forum bender, might go on for a while but will end soon enough.

                But l am in the warm and fuzzy kitten image phase at the moment, so it would take a lot for me to turn to the dark side again!

                    I called it!

                    No, doubt you got an attractive woman back to your place, and she saw the Strickly Ballroom poster on the wall and did a runner!

                    I personally met someone online, who l thought was a near perfect match, and she wasn't interested! Apparently she wanted 99% things in common instead of 75%.

                    No, doubt a year or two later she will still be on that dating site?

                    But l tend to go for Chocolate cake rather than, alcohol, but that is not everyone's taste!

                    Coming here and being an A**** might help you initially, but long term, probably not!

                    Hmmm, sounds like the red wine is taking effect, best to make your way to the toilet bowl, you might be spending the night there?

                    I would say that we tolerate him, because we all know that it is only a matter of time, before he self destruct!

                    I would say if he continues on his bender, he will probably end up banned again. 2 months probably?

                    But he is getting better, he used to be an A***** and now, ummm, he is a better A****!

                    I need another kitten image!

                          I think it will be well into April before we get real spring weather.

                                    Oooh, now you're talking!

                                    Flowers and bubbles and butterflies!




                                    Ahh!

                                    It's snowing right now and after we get three to four inches, it's supposed to turn to freezing drizzle, then rain, then freezing rain all today.

                                    But looking at these flowers takes the sting out of it.

                                      it's snowing right now - so yes, here's more spring images to keep us somewhat sane - this winter is making me a little nutty - cabin fever is setting in, you know?

    The average temp for this month is only 14.5 degrees and that's not including windchill. I am so done with it all!

    So, how many more days until Spring?
    Well, I would send you some of our warmth and sunshine, but...

      Haha!

      I'm sure you have it worse than I do, but it's the thought that counts, right?

    LMAO

    So after talking about "warmer here" I wake up with about 2 inches of snow on the ground with a good dump up on the hills and Mt.s around me...........but I have this thread to entertain me while I snuggle by my space heater and drink my coffee.

    Relax WC. Chill at least until people "get" you, right?

    And Jeez, Terra. I am so amused at the people in here that seem to have visions of you in white (well - with a little pink here and there if they really think they know you) and a halo just shining in everyone's eyes and blinding them with your saint-like magnificence. LMAO.

    If they only knew.

      You just reminded my of the gift my dad got me on my 13th birthday. It was a short sleeved shirt that had a picture of a cute little angel complete with wings and a halo on the front of it and it said Daddy's Little Angel... The back had a picture of a cute little devil complete with horns and pitchfork and it said In Disguise.


      Once in awhile I listen to the little devil on my left shoulder as opposed the little angel on my right one. But only when necessary, of course.
