Winter...

As I sit here in Nova Scotia, we have had our first bit of snow today. It seems winter has come overnight.
This is day one and I don't think I will make it.
I know this is early in the season but, anyone else sick of the northern life?

Oh, heck yeah I'm sick of the northern life. I'm in NORTH Florida and it's gotten down to the low 40's with a windchill in the low 30's allready. I need to move further south!

I love winter and snow too. But I don't like to be cold.

Re: Winter...

I'm in NS too, but managed to avoid seeing any white stuff. If I didn't see it--it didn't happen. I'm still acclimatizing to being in cool temps and I'm not happy about it. Ten days ago I was on the boat in the sunshine & +27 C. Now I'm home & the boat is up.

It's gonna be a really long winter .....

Re: Winter...

If it's zero degrees outside today and it's going to be twice as cold tomorrow, exactly how cold is it going to be?

cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey

That's only a conundrum if you are referring to degrees Kelvin.
