- I'm sick of wearing boots.
- I'm sick of wearing a parka.
- I'm sick of hustling the kids into snowpants, hats, gloves, scarves, etc. just to get them off to school.
- I'm sick of my street feeling like the surface of the moon as I drive down it.
- I want to see grass again, even the sickly brown crap masquerading as my lawn.
- I'd like to be able to start my truck and go rather than wait 5 minutes for it to warm up.
- Sand. I hates it. It gets EVERYWHERE. At least salt has the decency to dissolve.
- I want to wash my truck and have it last more than 20 feet before it's partly white again.
- It sure would be nice to go out of the house with only ONE layer of clothes...
- It would also be nice to not have to drop $500/month or more on heating...
Not to mention I feel the need for two wheels so bad it hurts...
That is all.

Thank you for reminding me what I moved away from.
Currently 68 degrees, partly cloudy and breezy.
I"m just sayin'....
Sunny here, and near 80 over the weekend. Took the scooter for a nice, long ride. Might get a little rain this evening.
I'll be thinking of both of you during tornado season...
Dude, I had to turn on my A/C yesterday. I bet you ARE sick of winter.
I'm going to enjoy the 11 or 12 more days of "pretty" weather here in Georgia, as we prepare to move into 6 months of red-hot-oven hell.
[Ah, yes, back to three cold showers per day....]
I'm with you JayG. This winter has the suckitude meter pegged at 11.
Right on!
Yeah, I loved the snow back in December. That was before the cold snaps, the perma-ice on the roads, the power outages, and the snow-ice-snow-ice storms that made my property a yardcicle with an unclearable driveway that took a month to melt.
Oh yeah, and the cold. The cold that was so brutal that my new super efficient Vortex 9000 hyperfurnace approached the fuel usage of the 50s-era model it replaced. Even with the temp at 64.
Sorry, dude, but Yours Truly has been masquerading around in t-shirts and stuff here for a few weeks now.
I lurves me some San Antonio.
Now God will punish me with 118-degree temps this Summer again...
tweaker
Yes! Just what I wanted. Another ice storm! Can't wait to crack open my care like an egg tomorrow.
"Not to mention I feel the need for two wheels so bad it hurts..."
I hear ya there, brutha!
I actually enjoy the winter, but I'm ready to ride.
Parka? Parka? I've only broken out my winter coat a couple of times. The rest of this winter it has been a lined windbreaker.
You youngsters are sooo soft these days :)
Jay, you are looking at this ALL wrong.
The snow and low temps are the price we pay for NOT having 7 months of "hazy, hot & humid" like they do in GA. Or not having 110+ temps like in AZ or TX for 6 months of the year.
We can only take off so many clothes (legally), and it's STILL hot and miserable when we do get top that point. We can always put ON a jacket when it gets cold.
And you DO NOT want their AC bills, trust me.
Buck up, boy... Spring's a-coming!
J,
I have to agree w/ Ross on this one . . . I grew up in south Florida where the afternoon temps run somewhere between 89 and 93 degress with ambient humidity of always more than 80%.
** From April --> November !!
Hot, sticky, miserable. There's no getting comfortable in situations like that. And let's not forget some of the other charms offered by southern living. Here's but a few:
*Termites that eat CONCRETE.
*Flying roaches (ok, Palmetto bugs) the size of a volkswagen.
*Mosquitos that use 'Raid' as breath spray and can penetrate kevlar body armor to get your blood.
*Poisonous snakes
*Wild pythons which capture and eat your neighbor's dog and maybe your kids.
*Gators that are not afraid of humans.
Need more? Didn't think so.
I know if it sucked so bad (climate/lack of freedom) where I was at that I complained about it constantly on the internet, I would move.
That's just me though. :)
