I have had enough winter and snow in N J.

[jimmbo]

A few Times we have had Xmas with NO Snow, it was Beautiful. If I NEVER saw Snow, or Rain again in my Life, it would be what I consider Heaven

 

[aspeck]

And I love snow! It was beautiful here just a wee bit ago ... the wind was whipping at 50mph and the snow was coming in sideways. You were lucky to see 20 yards in front of you. Now the ground is again white and it is jut flurrying. Bring on the snow! It is winter and I am walking around in a short sleeve shirt.

When I see Snow, it's more like, Give me some Razor Blades...
About 120 more days till spring is here

 

[FLATHEAD]

Id be happy with one little snow storm a year. Not a big fan of the white stuff. Too add insult to injury they absolutely cover the roads in car disolver.
Right now temps going are going down like a bay liner with a hole in it, and wind is whipping at 40+MPH.

Any Time the Humidity goes above 30% regardless of Temp, it is Miserable

You wouldn’t care for it here.

Our average daily humidity is 66%. March and April have the lowest daily averages at 59%

As much as I loved 2024 for its lack of rain most of the second half of the year... we really need it to keep everything else alive and not wanting it would be very selfish of me. It was a freaking nightmare managing the reservoir on the back half.

the definition of "good" is irrelevant without the existence of "bad".
that first 70+ degree day of the new year is great.
days start getting longer Dec. 22.

Yes I can handle cold and wind but I really need daylight.

 

[Pmt133]

That's the worst. 6 months of the year I watch the sun rise and set at work. Contrary to popular belief... that really does weigh on you mentally if you realize it or not.

Yeah combine it with an 83 mile commute each way and 20 miles on snow covered roads to get to the freeway...the thrill is gone.

 

[flashback]

and when it's 98+ in august, I'm looking forward to autumn

 

[jlh3rd]

eh, for me it's just that I'm no couch potato and when warm "hits" for the season I'm always out doing, fix'n something.
Winter hits and I'm forced to do things in the cold, even though I try to prep for winter with prior maintenance. Inevitably I'm forced to move cars around in ice and snow to gain access to my 1 car working garage where my camaro stays. Fingers and ears hate cold.

That's a lot of Wasted Time that you will NEVER recover. I grumble about a 15 minute Commute.

 

[dingbat]

Hate winter with a passion.
My legs get cold and socks look stupid in crocs…..lol

Quality of life end of the day, I get to go home to the lake every day. My home at the end of a private road little to no crime makes it worth it.

 

[Pmt133]

I complain more about my 15 minute drive in the morning that takes upwards of an hour at night most days. When I was doing ~800 miles a week I spent relatively the same amount of time in the car as I do now on my 12 mile commute. Which is freaking insane.

Mine isn't that bad really 83 miles 1 hour 15 minutes. I leave the house at 5:30 I unlock the doors and turn on the lights at work. I leave work at 2 pm get home and work from home e-mails and phone calls late afternoon. I don't really deal with much traffic till I get 20 or so minutes out on the freeway. There are people at work that travel less than half the distance I do and take longer to get there. I am blessed in that my vehicle and all expenses are part of my compensation. (my boss is a huge jerk though)

Last visit with dad in seattle we were driving around and going to lunch. After 45 minutes I asked him how far we had gone, looked at odometer and said 'nine and half miles'. Insane.
