winter bitchfest '06 begins:
November 30, 2006 at 9:25 AM
typically i wait until december to start whining about the cold, however, we’re only a day away, and unlike annie i have nothing to sing about–even if i could sing, which i can’t, my pipes would be frozen, and there’s nothing worse than frozen pipes. pmk’s car thermometer showed -7 this morning in park city, while it wasn’t that cold here, it was certainly cold. i need to keep reminding myself there are a few benefits to winter: christmas presents and those little miniature oranges. that’s really the only positives i can muster at the moment.

I just wanted to note that it is currently 69 degrees in Washington right now. Sunny skies as well. Just sayin.
It’s cute how everyone has their own weather perspectives. I just commented on hjustin’s winter tirade.
On one level I’m happy I’m not the only one who has whined about the cold.
On another I want throw southwest Montana’s -25 degree weather in all your faces. Not that I’m bitter.
Forget the cold. Look at the trip odemeter: 311.7. Now look at the gas tank: 1/2 full. 600+ miles per tank, 45 mpg!
I threw a few cuss words at my car this morning. It was 11:00 and I was scraping the windows. ERGH!
Units people! thanks to pmk for using units (mpg). (-7 degrees F) oh, and i hate the cold too.
I’m going to be in SLC next week, and I was really hoping for some daytime temps in the 40’s, Today, I’m enjoying (?) a rainy and humid Miami day. It’s a little on the cool side, with a daytime high of 82.
I recall those Utah winters and I also recall that’s why I left the state for a warmer climate.
Good God girl, that sounds miserable. Move here to SoCal. It’s a nice day everyday! You can stay with me anytime, baby.
Was I singing? You can come to San Diego and sing on my porch whenever you like. I’ll make margaritas.
i hit my car’s external temperature gauge the first thing this morning. it started off being at 42F in my garage. by the time i had reached the end of the street, it had dropped to 25F, and bottomed out around 9F. yuck.
Sarah–
Skiing, dear. We hardcvore skiers like winter BEST. You live within view of the Wasatch Front, for goodness sakes! And you can wear pink skis, pink boots, a pink parka, pink gloves, pink poles, pink goggles and a pink hat. Stay with black for your pants, though.
Helpfully yours,
