If you'll indulge me, I need to vent...

I F***ING HATE WINTER!!

I hate it! There is not one good thing about winter, not one!

I'm going stir crazy and the cabin fever is starting to take it's toll.

Thanks for reading.

1. Snowshoes, XC skis, sleds and hot chocolate all help pass the time in our neck of the woods...

If all else fails. Add alcohol.

[LeftofObama]

2. I wish I was an outdoor winter type person, but I just hate the cold.

I've had so much hot chocolate my breath smells like a Hershey Bar and I don't do alcohol. Anyway, thanks for replying. I guess I'll go look at pictures of Hawaiian beaches or something.

3. Bon Voyage!

May the warm ocean breezes fill your sails!

[LeftofObama]

4. Thanks!

What a nice thought.

5. No bugs

Can't see a mosquito anywhere in 8F.

[rurallib]

10. grass don't grow much either

[Paulie]

11. Don't have to mow it

With 12 inches of snow on it either.

6. No there isn't.

I am freezing. It's 66 inside and my heater can't keep up, I guess.

It was the same temp at work all day. I thought about buying a Snuggie and bringing it to work.

I spent 20 minutes getting the ice and snow off my car this morning. I live in NC and I used to think I wanted to live in a blue state, but they are all too far north for me.

15. I know it's a waste of gas, but I've gotten to the point now

that I just let my pickup truck idle until the windows thaw. I refuse to be out in this crap any longer than I have to.

7. Finally! Someone who totally understands how I feel about this subject.

16. Two peas, as they say.

I guess I'm just frustrated and I knew someone here would understand.

[Arkansas Granny]

8. I hear you! And if the cold wasn't bad enough, the gloom

and short days just leave me feeling blah. Snow is a four letter word and I rank being cold in the same class as pain and hunger. They are all major discomfort.

I'm tired of wearing socks to bed and keeping tissues tucked into every pocket. I look forward to sunshine, 80 degrees and flowers blooming.

[LeftofObama]

17. "I rank being cold in the same class as pain and hunger."

Amen to that, sister!

Every ache and pain can be multiplied by a thousand when it gets this cold outside.

9. from the facebook.... The Two Stages of Winter

We are well into the gray bucket of suck

[LeftofObama]

18. Perfect!

[HarveyDarkey]

12. Weather report here

Actually it's -2, wind chill of -32

[LeftofObama]

19. Yep, and I can't count the number of times I've heard,

"Yeah, but it freezes out all of the bugs." Yeah, well tell how well it froze them out back in the winter when in July/August when they're back with a vengeance!

Dammit, I hate this sh*t!

13. it's going to be cold tonight and chilly tomorrow

and the snow is coming down. back up to the 50s friday.

[LeftofObama]

20. 50's would be almost paradise right about now.

I think it's supposed to be around low teens to 0 here until next week then it climbs all the way up to around 20 I think.

[fizzgig]

22. we got a nasty cold snap early last month

teens and single digits for about ten days, i did such a happy dance when we hit the mid 20s

[Brigid]

14. I think this guy shares your sentiments:

[LeftofObama]

21. LOL!

Exactly!
