I'm Damn Cold!

[Enigma869]

I love my home city, but man, are these winters fucking brutal. -1 this morning at my house. Bring on summer...NOW!

[wednesday's child]

I can't relate.
It's 80 degrees Fahrenheit where I'm at.
We're off to the beach for snorkelling this weekend.

Happy New Year's.

Asshole alert!!!! Asshole alert!!! I can't really relate anymore either. I've been in S.C. since 1994 and it rarely gets below freezing here We only get snow here once a year if that. It's a little colder here this year, but I just took my dog out in shorts, flip flops and a sweatshirt. It'll probably get up to around 60 today.

[No Surprize]

Florida, The Sunshine State. Nights have been in the low 60's and 50's the past 2 weeks, but the days have been sweet. Yesterday was the 1st

time I had to run the AC to cool off. We (me & my kid) were in a intense Black ops game and the madness raged!

A dog in flip flops- only in America!

So what where you wearing Jim ?

edit; Duncan you beat me to it

[JRNYMAN]

Normally, I'd be the one chiming in here and bragging about how nice the weather is and how warm it is compared to everywhere else but this past week has been friggin' cold (for here anyway!) Overnight temps in the 20's and daytime highs in the low 50's.

[Everett]

Apparently, Boston didn't get the memo. I'm happy to report, that we've almost reached 20 degrees for the day...at one o'clock in the afternoon! I just have to keep telling myself that January will be over before I know it. One can hope.

It's a balmy 25 degrees in my neck of the woods.

In the San Francisco Bay Area we've seen some pretty cold temps over the last few days for this area. Today and yesterday it was 36 degrees @ 6am. Some places were in the 20's around here too.

[G.I.Jim]

Well, I lied! I figured it would be a pretty warm day here, and was just outside and it says 45 degrees. It never really warmed up since this morning and there's a fog here as thick as J-lo's ass!!

[portland]

-7 here this am. My son is outside playing pond hockey....he has no concept of cold.

[The Sushi Hunter]

There are no bugs in the winter which is what I think I would be happy about.

[G.I.Jim]

The only good thing about cold weather is that my dogs shit is frozen and easier to scoop up than in the hot summer.

The good thing about living on a big piece of land with woods is that I don't HAVE to clean up shit. My dog shits in the woods, leaving my grass completely intact.

Boston's climate would never allow me to be a dog owner. Any animal that needs to be taken for a walk on a 2 degree February morning is way too high maintenance for me!

One of the coldest times I have ever experienced was at a 9er Monday night football game when the fog rolled in. Problem was it was August 31st! What the hell? I am from So Cal and there was no thought of bringing a jacket in the middle of summer. I nearly froze my ass off.

Good news about that trip - Saw Abraxas Pool at the NFL Experience (still have hearing damage from the volume). Got to speak with Neal. Micky Thomas sang the National Anthem at the game. And Jerry Rice broke the all-time touchdown record while beating the crap out of the Raiders.

But it was cold!

Yeah, if you were at Candlestick Park, it gets hella cold there, even in the summer time. Fog rolls in off the coast, wind, damp from the field being below sea level, it's the shits!

[Andrew]

Attempting a record high in Hobart today. Forecast 102, but could break 106 record.

Wind blowing and bushfires burning already. Gonna be a wild day.

[JRNYMAN]

When I was a kid my dad worked for United Air Lines at SFO and we lived in South City (south San Fran). I remember the fog rolling in over the hill at about 4pm every day which would turn a perfect summer day into jacket weather instantly! That was the reason we moved to the east bay (Dublin) when we did. My dad was done with the fog and cold afternoons.

Wolf spiders or brown recluse (people seem to use the latter here for some reason - maybe it sounds more ominous and scary ) are all over the place here - them and scorpions. And no matter how regularly you spray your property and the perimeter of the house indoors, they still seem to find their way in. I never get used to walking into a room, flipping on the light and seeing either one of them on the wall or scurrying across the floor. I hate bugs!

Many years ago when my youngest was about 2, she was playing on the floor in my bedroom while my wife and I were changing the bedding. All the sudden we noticed it had gotten real quiet where she was playing which was around an alcove heading into the bathroom. When I went voer to investigate, she was holding a wolf spider in her hand just watching it crawl around. "Aahhhhh!" I yelled, which scared the shit out of her and made her jump but also made her drop said spider. I snatched her up and pretty much threw her to my wife who was just coming around the corner with this look of horror on her face. When I turned back to proceed with the assassination of this scourge from Hell.... I couldn't find the son-of-a-bitch! You're right to assume all other plans that day were preempted until I not only found and killed it but also presented the evidence to my wife 'cause she wasn't going back in the bedroom/bathroom until I did!

My wife and I met and lived in Winter Park, CO (Elev. 9,100 Ft.) for the first couple years we were together. No bugs (flies, fleas, spiders), or snakes at that elevation! Nice!!!

A wolf spider is different from brown recluse.. Wolf spiders bite but the bite is rarely serious unless a person is allergic.

The brown recluse is another story altogether... their bite results in a large wound that grows as the tissue in the wound dies..


Winter Park.. what a cool place to live..

I hate bugs too, and the cold. I sprayed the hell out of this yard twice this year, and it helped, but not too much. The one bug I will not tolerate is the cock roach. I'll burn the fucking place down before I live with those.

Huh... didn't know that. I'd never heard of or seen one until I moved to AZ and since people use the names interchangeably, I just assumed.
You're so smart Slucie.... I always seem to learn something from your posts! Just kidding. No seriously!

Winter Park.. what a cool place to live..

It was. At the time, 1985-87 there were only 436 year-round residents in the town itself. My wife owned a small business at the time and I worked overnights for Safeway which left my days free to ski. Last year we lived there I logged 136 consecutive days!!! Yeah baby!! Interesting fact about Winter Park... Kids in that district don't go to school on Mondays. Instead they get to ski for free at the ski area. Yup, it's true! Every kid gets a specific pass which is basically an "All Access" kind of thing for them at the slopes. All the buses in town are free too! They all go to and from the ski area all day long.
The downside to that kind of frill for the kids is they're all AWESOME skiiers! It's a bitch being pwned by an 8-yr.-old who can ski the bumps better and faster than you ever thought of!

You're preaching to the choir my brother...

It's all relative. San Francisco isn't a cold city (at least to a non-Californian). The coldest temperature ever recorded in SF was 27 degrees on December 11, 1932. Here in Boston, we simply call that January!

Ha. As I said, it's all relative. Boston is damn cold, but it's not Canada (unless we're talking about Vancouver, which Boston has a much more harsh climate than). You Canadians are NUTS dealing with those ridiculous winters!

Twain was placing emphasis on how cold San Francisco can be in the summer, not necessarily to say that it's the coldest place during winter.
