Only 40 and windy tomorrow, but I have to change the oil in the van, so that'll be fun.
I want to name every storm.. but I want them all to be Tim. Because tim sounds so non threatening. "Tim is rolling into Cleveland tomorrow".. Doesn't that sound pleasant.
My wife knows I'm one bad winter away from moving to Florida. No snow and free house is awfully tempting.

Named storms in hurricane country, usually means your deductible just went up.
A few years ago my oldest son was stationed at the Marine base in Yuma, AZ. It was February, and miserably cold and windy here. We were talking on the phone and I was bitching about the cold and he said it was kinda cold there too. I asked what it was and he said a chilly 76. Point of view I guess.
Well I just move 8 or 9 inches of snow off my driveway and its still snowing. Blower ran out of gas, had to finish with a shovel. Now I'm out of gas...
In reply to Toyman01:
It was 65 here yesterday too, but the Weather Channel said it hit 31 for a low the other night. I'm not sure that's correct though, as I think they take their readings further inland, and there were still mosquitos flying around yesterday.
Freezing rain warning issued last night before the drive to work. 36° leaving the house. Driving north, 31° was the magic number... and there's ice. Think people would slow down, nope. People were wrecking up Large hill. Large is a town, but there is also a large hill. Had to put two wheels over the shoulder in the marbles for traction downhill.
Winter weather has arrived and berkeley the Polar Vortex.
Seriously though, why the hell is it headline news every time someplace in the continental US gets 6" of snow? I usually catch the first 2-3 min of NBC's morning show as I'm tying my shoes in the morning and I think I'm up to 4 working days running where winter weather is the top story.
At least it's non-controversial. I'm sure there are folks who can get all wound up due to some perceived connection between the current weather and their politics, but it would take Olympic-level delusions to do so. I'd much rather start my day with "OMG the outside world is real!" than some sort of political crap.
And the outside world IS real. I had a customer get really upset when a major snowstorm kept his package from arriving before some deadline. He wanted me to ship a replacement doodad via next-day as I had caused his problems by creating this storm, and he just could NOT get it through his head that it didn't matter what we wrote on the box, it simply wasn't going to get to the other side of the country in time. His internet and phones were still working in Florida, so how bad could it be?
We had a snowstorm over the weekend. Remember when Polar Vortex was just simply a snowstorm? At worst a blizzard?
Today, the sun is out at the moment, and the A/C is running.
It is December, correct?
Send some of that cold down here.

It takes you 2-3 minutes to tie your shoes?

When you're distracted by your impending, icy doom at the hands of the Polar Vortex, apparently yes

A set of Sorel snowmobile boots go on a lot faster AND will help you survive the snowpocalypse!
I hate snow from my time up north.
But its Christmas time. Dont feel like it. I want it to snow like a bitch for the next few days (our family is celebrating in the 17th) be white with clear roads this weekend, and melt by monday. Is that too much to ask for?
