    Is this even a real question?? I hate this crap. I can handle a LITTLE cold...but this...not this. I am SO OVER IT. Tired of being couped up indoors and if I hear one more person say "the bottom is going to drop out" I am going to seriously lose my ish. I HATE THE COLD. I can't even handle it.

    *woooosaaaaaa*

    AMEN

    15 deg F this morning walking to work with wind chill in the single digits. NOT how I like to start my day. The walk home is usually worse (except tonight where I plan to bar hop my way home).

    I can't take anymore of this! It's been awful this year too much snow and way colder than usual here in Southern Ontario. Yesterday I put the lazy boy chair in front of the patio doors where the sun was streaming in and laid there after the gym pretending it was a beach somewhere. Warm and sunny thoughts for all who are dealing with this nasty winter!

    i hate the winter, I hate the snow, I hate the ice, I hate the cold. I dont get the desire to have the seasons.. Not for me. I used to live in south florida then I moved to missery with my then bf/husband and I wish to go back every day. Thats my problem in the winter too many layers and I get lazy and dont want to work out. Im trying but its hard. If I get to the gym 2x a week in the winter its a huge accomplishment. In the spring or summer Im there 6 days a week.

    I dont think snow is pretty anymore, Im actually pretty tired of looking at it. Now I just want to see green grass and sunshine. Perhaps a swimming pool, lake, beach etc.. Dont care just no snow.

    So Yes Im right there with you.

    Maybe one day we will move back until then I count the days till spring. Which is rapidly approaching soo wooo hoo. Hopefully mother nature takes a clue and winter calms the f*** down. Bring on the hot summer sun Im soo ready. Wish it would stay all year.

    I wish...here in the SW, we've barely had a winter...we had like a couple weeks of winter in early December and that was it. We've been hitting record highs here in Albuquerque most of December, January , and February. Our mountains are usually covered with snow and it's great skiing around here...but this year there have been days upon days of temps in the 60s and 70s with hardly any snow fall. I know that sounds great to everyone who's been blasted, but we're about to have the worst forest fire season in decades around here...the whole SW is going to go up in tinder this spring/summer.
    It's been nearly the same here in Tucson except even warmer with temps in the 80s and 70s for most of the month of February. We are FINALLY expecting some rain this weekend along with temps in the 60s. Yay!!

    Yes, yes, yes.

    It was -2 this morning. I generally don't mind cold and like to play in the snow, but this winter has been brutal and too cold to go out and play!!!!

    My dash cam took this during my drive into work yesterday... We're going to get at least another ten inches this weekend.

    This winter can suck my Snoopy Sno-Cone Maker...

    It's been pretty brutal, though my memory is of all winters being like this when I was younger. -14 (-20 Wind Chill) right now and I'm in and out of this all day (my office door opens out to this) I'm 50/50 on whether I will do my usual 5-7Km post work walk today (a friend managed frostbite walking her dog last night - that's nasty) But Despite the illusion of more snow I think it's just the lack of a thaw or 2 that makes it seem worse. Loads of Sunny (but cold) days and i'd rather that than rain and grey dreary and depressing. the level of sun this year has offset SAD syndromes

    People usually scoff and say "why do you live in an expensive state like California?"

    Answer: so I don't have to worry about threads like this.:laugh:

    Sorry you have to deal with it.

    We are supposed to get another foot this weekend and I'm already sick over it. I can't take this anymore!!!!!! I feel like I haven't seen grass in MONTHS and I'm over winter. I need to move to California.

    The other day I put three kids in and out of snow suits 5 times each, and that was my winter breaking point.
    That and frozen dog walks , killing me.

    Lol that just reminded me of "A Christmas Story". Poor randy and that winter suit! Would not be able to deal. Taking the dog out is the worst. I wish he used a litter box lol

    I love snow. Get some cross country skis and have a ball! If you really want to get crazy put some 5 pound ankle weights on your wrists. Beats running.

    yep....this is me. Second coldest winter since 1874...I read it in the news today. The cold hit just as I was finally starting to get into an outdoor running groove. Time for some warm(er) weather.

    I normally love winter. I love to downhill ski, winter hike...but not when there is a wind chill and negative degrees.

    I'm sick of being cold since I lost most of my insulation.

    This winter has been brutal and record breaking. And another round of snow and ice coming this weekend. I've think I've lost over 3 lbs shoveling snow this winter. So maybe there is a small plus side. Nah, bring on some spring.

    Sweet jesus yes. Even worse my heat went out a few days ago in my apartment and no one's fixed it yet. 12 degrees outside and no heat? SMFH

    It was 60 a week ago! I'm really pissed at that groundhog...

    Hi,

    Would love to see a bit of snow but just very, very wet and windy here in the UK - worst rainfall on record.
    Spring around the corner so hoping for a day (just one) without rain!:laugh:

    I generally hate hot weather, especially humidity. Right now I am dreaming of an August day. That's how bad it is.

    My area is expecting another 6-12 inches on Sunday night into Monday and we've had 5+ storms that resulted in accumulation in the past 5 weeks. Stop, stop the madness.

    I'm from Indiana and absolutely despise everything to do with snow and cold weather, which is why I moved to Florida (and Texas for 15 years before that). I realize not everybody can pack up and move or may not want to but I don't miss typical Winter weather at all.

    I love snow...
    I love Ice...
    For some strange reason I love inclement weather...

    ***BUT***

    I run at 4:30 in the morning, obviously in the dark. I am getting a tad worn out.

    I have run probably 15 times below 10 degrees (sucks).
    And I have run 3 times below 0 degrees (really sucks!-Ralphie!!!)
    I have wiped out at least 4 times where was running along totally fine and then all of a sudden I am on my back looking at the stars. Though lovely, I prefer the ability to "choose" when I look at them.

    The muscles and joints don't want to warm up, and even if they do they don't stay that way for long. Any breeze when it is below 0 wipes all thoughts of insulation clean out of memory.

    So why continue with this crap?

    Guess I just made a choice:)

    I took a break from the winter and just got back from more tropical weather a week ago (don't hate)...it feels like a year already with all the below zero days we've had since here in Toronto, ON. Today's high is -29. My tan is fading quickly...................:sad:
