I am freezing. Not just cold...but beginning to feel the blood in the

[ScreamingMeemie]

tips of my fingers crystallize freezing. I am tired of going outside for two seconds and coming back in to foggy lenses on my glasses. I am tired of shivering in bed for 15 minutes before I begin to feel even slightly warm. I am tired of the snow boogers that attach themselves to the wheel wells of my car to make grinding noises when I turn the wheel. I am tired of lugging tired and complaining children out to the car on school mornings only to drive for five minutes let them out and come back-get out of finally warmed up car and walk through freezing cold house...where I spend a full 20 minutes feeling chilly before the thaw sets in. I am tired tired tired....

End rant here. Can you relate??

:hi:

1. I feel so guilty cause I can't

But I really do feel for ya. Maybe you need a trip out west :shrug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

2. Oh Mannn! I would love that about now. My brother and sister in

law are expecting baby number two so I'll be out then. But that won't be till July when it's warm here. :(

I have been checking the flights to LA for Feb. If something ends up being cheap I may take the kids on mid winter break.

Send me some warmth, would ya?

:hug:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

4. K

*pushes warmth through puter* Didja feel it?

[ScreamingMeemie]

5. I believe I did...

Thanks! :hi:

[seventhson]

3. I am broke and almost out of heating oil

I feel like Howard Dean

and with a damaged thyroid (I used to live and swim near a nuclear plant) the extremities stay cold. (Thyroid keeps you warm)

I commiserate.

[ScreamingMeemie]

6. Hug, hug, hug,....there...to help keep you warm.

Stay Well!!!

Hugs, Laura

7. I can relate

I'm wearing a T-Shirt, 2 sweat-shirts, 2 pair of sweat-pants, and 2 pair of athletic socks and slippers. I can't stand being cold.

I was snowed in for 2 days with 2 feet of snow in the driveway and my car trapped in the garage. There was no way I could have driven through that.

I was going to cancel a Dr's appointment because there was just too much to shovel, but then a family came by with their kids and made a family project out of making money shoveling snow for people. I gladly paid them to bail out my driveway. It took 4 of them over an hour.

I hate winter.

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. T shirt...longsleeved shirt, sweater, and robe here...I feel for

you. Enough is enough. :hi:

[ironflange]

8. It's warming up nicely in Calgary

Today's windchill was only -37.

[ScreamingMeemie]

11. Crazy ain't it? I don't even look at the thermometer..I'd never get out

of bed. :(

[LastKnight]

10. its a tad chilly out... -5 is the high today...

i dont even remember what ungodly number the windchill was... but it was cold cold cold... such is life.

-LK

[ScreamingMeemie]

14. Awful awful awful...I want a different life.

:hi:

[Amager]

12. Where do you get those cute little smilie things?

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. When you post a reply...look right above the subject line. There

is a link entitled Smilies lookup table. Click on it and voila!

:hi:

[Amager]

15. Now I see them.

Thanks! :hi:

[Rabrrrrrr]

16. No, I cannot relate.

I can't believe that a Cheesehead, one of God's finest and robust creations, is letting pathetic MICHIGAN weather get her cold.

You know what I think I hate most about the cold? It's that my nose runs when I'm outside; but of course, while I'm outside, I have a scarf and gloves on and my coat is buttoned up... so wiping the nose becomes a huge civil engineering feat.

[Liberal Christian]

24. Wear a scarf over your face

Then your nose drips into the scarf and you just don't have to worry about it. Sheesh ... I thought you grew up here in Cheeseland, Rabrrrrrr, dude.

26. I know it's awful. I have lived in frigid temps my whole life and still

hate them. I guess I am a wimp. :hi:

[Cleita]

17. I'm sending you some warm thoughts to thaw you out.

Truthfully I wish I could email you a nice rise in temperature. Hopefully your cold weather will warm up a bit.

[ScreamingMeemie]

29. Thank you Cleita...Warm thoughts always appreciated. It's -5 today.

I am thinking that I will take hot shower and then use suntan lotion for body lotion. Maybe that will put me in a warmer mood..

Hugs,Laura

[Zomby Woof]

18. then get out of that icebucket!

Called the upper midwest. ;-)

[ScreamingMeemie]

30. Would that I could...

:(

[bobthedrummer]

39. The Great Lakes region is full of Great Lakes

unlike the desert SW, this extended cold happens to be a result of global warming IMO.
Great Lakes gonna come in handy someday.

[Beaker]

19. I can relate to the freezing fingers thing-

i have a condition called Raynaud's disease- it has to do with constriction of the arteries in the hands and feet in cold weather, and it really sucks.

if it wasn't for the way that winter kills the nastier insects, i'd move south(that, and all those people that speak with twangs or drawls)

[ScreamingMeemie]

32. That is tough Beaker. I am really sorry to hear that. This weather

has got to be extremely unpleasant for you.

Hugs,Laura

[SmileyBoy]

20. -30 outside with a -41 wind chill right now.

I think it's safe to say it's a tad nippy over here...

[ScreamingMeemie]

Yeah, I think it's time to put the shorts away...

;)

[Susang]

21. Oh do I relate!

Crazy cold in Chicago tonight. I normally don't have any problems with cold weather, but this cold snap is kicking my ass. I just want to hibernate! :-)

[ScreamingMeemie]

34. Plus you guys get that nasty wind. My brother lived in Chicago for

10 years and he said the cold was horrendous when the wind kicked up. Stay warm!!!

[Piltdown13]

22. Snow boogers!! LOL!!

That has got to be the best description of that snow-related phenomenon I've seen yet! I can relate somewhat, although it's not quite so cold here as it seems to be where you're at. But we've certainly had plenty of snow, at least as far as I'm concerned -- I can't even use my regular parking place at work, which is down in a little driveway just off the street. The snowplows have totally blocked the entrance -- and even if they hadn't, I'd be afraid to drive in for fear of not being able to get out again.

Also in total sympathy with you on the cold-car thing. The combination of drive length and car heater warm-up time generally means that my car is just warming up by the time I arrive on campus. Oh, well.

[ScreamingMeemie]

28. Snowplows usually come around here right in time to garbage

up the bottom of our drive as we are putting the snowshovels away..grrrr.

[TrogL]

23. It's -42 here -47 windchill

...and I've been taking the bus all week. I've got the routes memorized to take the least amount of time outdoors.

[ScreamingMeemie]

27. Holy cow! You can keep that. That makes it springtime here.

:hi:

[TXlib]

31. Yes, I can relate

I am sick and tired of it being in the 50s when i am done at the gym, so i feel a little chilly when I walk to my car.

[GOPisEvil]

33. I hate that too cold for shorts, but too warm for jeans weather...

God, this sucks! :P

[TXlib]

35. Yeah, poor us.

Texas winters are so brutal.

I actually had to turn my furnace on a few times.

[GOPisEvil]

36. Just LOOK at this 8-day forecast!

Pay particular attention to Feb. 6th! :D

[ScreamingMeemie]

38. You are just not being nice.

I am excited because they tell us it's going to be 28 on Sunday. A heat wave even!!!

:P

[ScreamingMeemie]

37. Yeah go ahead and make fun of us...

I'm too busy scraping the ice off my fingernails to think up a snappy comeback!
