Rant; Winter 2013/14

[jim]

This is the worst winter I can remember in sometime in Chicago. Bone chilling cold day after day, and these little "Alberta Clipper" systems that keep dumping 1-3" of snow on us. Tonight and tomorrow we are getting some pretty significant stuff. It's just intolerable, and while I was kidding lipp about his hand lotion I have had a scab on the top of my hand for weeks that was caused by nothing more that dry skin.

St. Louis gets a break, you had a day recently where it was 71 while we were in the upper 20's and getting a freezing drizzle mix.

I hate winter period, but this year really is the worst. I'm heading to Mexico in less than 2 weeks, and it can't come soon enough.

And if you think I'm blowing this out of proportion, take a look especially from Dec 6 on:

KC has been colder than usual but we've had enough random warm days to keep me from going crazy. Only two minor snow/ice things also so I'm not complaining...yet.

We have had 0 random warm days in a month. It's just now starting to snow, they are telling everyone up here to stay off the roads tonight.

I've started wearing thermal underwear if it dips below 25 or so. I'm officially old and lame.

[jim]

You would be wearing that almost every single hour of every single day for the entire month of December. It's 9 and snowing like a mother [expletive]. I've shoveled twice, and we are expected to have a foot by Thursday morning when all is said and done.

thermal underwear is the [expletive]. Suit pants are thin, and I have realized thermals are a saving graze when it's below 20 degrees and I am walking to the courthouse and the wind is whipping.

I consider a break from the cold to be 50 degrees plus at 530 pm or later. That more or less allows for grilling or running comfortably after work. I don't care what the high is. If its 30 degrees goingb to and coming home from work....who gives two [expletive] what the temp was in the afternoon.

That website u shared earlier jim made me want to off myself. The longer I live, the more I hate the cold.

No kidding. Only thing getting me through is that 2 weeks from today I will be here:

I wonder if you'll see any 82 degree days?

I'm thinking there is a chance.

Wow this snow just won't stop. I have no idea how much has come down, but I have shoveled 4 times since last night. The first 3 were pretty light, but I let it go from about 10am until 2:30 and that was a mother. And it's still snowing.
