Coldness.

[Whirligig Girl]

So I was microwaving some cheese-filled hot-dogs, when i noticed they were popping and bubbling. Overheated them. Of course, after having just seen the weather forecast here (in the southern US, by the way!) of it being 18 degrees Fahrenheit, feels like 1, and dropping rapidly (it will be NEGATIVE FIFTEEN! tonight!) I decided that I could cool them down outside faster than in the refrigerator. Success. Yummy hot-dogs.

It's 60°F here today, or 15°C if you prefer. A bit warm to cool anything down. 'course it'll feel like 60°C come August.... I'd rather have the freezing weather myself.

You see, I always get people in warm climates talking about how snow is so awesome and how they wished they lived where it was cold and etc.

Then of course they start whining about how ~deathly cold~ it is at, like, 50F.

I have lived with snow all my life, and want to kick its shiny sparkly collective ass into deep space by this point. First you get used to it. Then you hate it.

Snow is awesome... for about an hour.

Then it just gets irritating as all hell. And when you have snow for six or seven months... well...

And you know the kicker? I live in Miami, Florida.

Thirty-Nine degrees Fahrenheit is too damn cold for being so close to the equator. :/

I grew up in a sorta-freezing climate (WV), so I'm used to it. Though winters got milder as I got older... the early 80s were like some sort of mini-IceAge. Not quite Michigan or Minnesota levels of cold, but "winter" was still a thing. I drive back north on occasion in the winters, though my Texas-tuned car hates me for it.

Here? Winter is a week in early January when it gets close to freezing. Snow here devolves quickly into Cormac McCarthy like violence and cannibalism. Category 5 hurricanes are more survivable than a snow storm.

I can vouch for that.

Back in Dover, England, when it snowed it was the perfect temperature, it didn't feel cold until someone threw a ball of it down their shirt(actually happened one Tuesday) and now we won't get any more for a year or so, I guess i'm one of the people that wants to have snow.

[EdFred]

I don't mind the snow. But my next house is either having a heated or covered driveway.

I live in New England, and I haven't been outside in two days. Then again, I'm on February vacation.

[LordFerret]

It's 12'F/-11'C here right now (wind chill = -7'F/-22'C). NOAA is calling for snow too, but Base Reflectivity on Doppler radar shows nothing yet all the way out into eastern PA.

[Norpo]

It's been cold.. The catch? Snow has just been piling up.. and up.. no sign of stopping.

Oh well, at least i'm in the maritimes of Canada, and not say, Northern Canada. No right to complain, eh?

[Loligoat]

Here in North Eastern Texas we've come close to snow a few times, but it always jumps back up to the 70's. I'm one of those crazy people that love the cold. This being Texas, I get strange looks when I wear a short sleeve shirt when it's 50f out .

[TheCanadianVendingMachine]

God, here in Alberta it's raining. While there's still snow banks about 1.5 meters high. And plus 5 Celcius.

Global Warming!

[Dodgey]

Well here in Northern Queensland it's 31c with Clear blue skies, go down south they are suffering through a Cat 5 cyclone right now, and north west in the gulf they have a Cat 4 hitting them right now, welp that's Australia for ya.

Further south on the west coast of Canada, the cherry trees are already blossoming, the first leaves are starting to flush on some of the trees & shrubs and there are crocus and other early bulbs blooming in the gardens.

And all of our snow. In Anchorage, 3 years ago, we had record breaking snowfall. This winter, we had like, what, an inch!?

[The Destroyer]

In september, where I live in Canda, we had 15cm of snow and -40C windchills. Brr.

It's now a lovely 0

[NovaSilisko]

Approaching -30C outside. Will it break that barrier? Hope not.

And then in a few months it will be +30C. God I hate the continental climate.

Wisconsin is TERRIBLE right now! I heard it was -20 degrees Fahrenheit not too long ago, and apparently it's been around there ever since. Really guys, it's cold.

It was so cold yesterday here in San Diego that I actually got a little uncomfortable standing in the shade in my shorts and t-shirt while watching my kids play at the park. No worries though, I just moved to the right two feet into a patch of sun.

I grew up in snowy climes and don't miss it one bit.

Yup, they used to say we'd get 10 months of winter and 2 months of poor sledding. Sleds weren't much use for going to school though because you had to go uphill both ways.
