Dear Winter, Let's break up.

KatieinBkln

It's not me, it's you. You've officially overstayed your welcome. This sleet/snow/wind/fog shit on March 3? Unacceptable. You're the houseguest who stays for a month and expects your hosts to drive your ass around and spend all their free time squiring you around the tourist attractions. You're the mother in law who moved in unbidden.

Get your ass outta my metaphorical house!

Love,

Katie

For real though, all you Knotties in warmer locations, talk to me about your sunshine and flip flops--I could use a mental vacation in the sun!

Seriously. Winter - GTFO.

 

I am dreading my 45 minute drive home tonight. It's been snowing pretty steadily for the past few hour and now it's turning to rain - which means ice. So it's going to be a white-knuckled drive home that will probably take well over an hour. I'm. Over It.

Just wait until Thursday. We've already preemptively changed our production schedule because we're pretty sure we'll all be iced in that day.

I mentioned this last week but I'm leaving Satuday for London/Iceland and I'm so stoked that it's going to be 50° there. Never thought I'd be so happy to go to a non tropical place lol.

 I just can't believe the cold...like I'm used to the snow bullshit but normally it's 25-30 all winter, not 0-10 all winter!!

I hate winter. I absolutely live in the wrong place! We are supposed to be getting more snow tonight and I'm dreading driving to work tomorrow the snow always makes my commute so much longer!

Fuuuuuck that noise!

FI just left for San Francisco for a week, that lucky bastard. Their forecast on Thursday? 70 degrees.

Yep. I'm done with winter. I'm in flip flops today in glee because it is finally not so cold that my toes might fall off. It is still less than "Happy Temps" though. And then they're talking MORE FREAKING COLD WEATHER closer to the end of the week.

I better get a NICE long summer after this shit.

Your FI is so lucky! SO's sister goes to school in California and posts so many pictures where it looks sunny and lovely. I'm super jealous of her right now.

It's still cold here. I'm here to commiserate. 

Also, here's a pick me up.

I'm done with winter as well. Especially this ice. Just texted H that the driveway is solid ice and to be careful....Buh. 

Also. so far with my working on my art/part time work schedule, H has been home like 50% of that time due to weather. I love him but, I need time away from him as well.

Yeah my entire fucking car was encased in ice this morning. It took me forever to yank the door open, and when I did, it was like glass shattering (the ice). Now all day we've been getting some nasty freezing rain. So that's fun. 

Go home, winter. You're drunk. 

lovemesomemonster

Send some of it my way! This winter has been so crappy! The snowmobiles have been on the trailer covered all winter! It was 27 degrees this morning but no snow.. super.

stefuhknee

So done with winter! As if parking wasn't difficult enough to find in Brooklyn now there are huge mounds of snow in between each car making even less parking available on my block. So ready for Spring.

Can't help you with the warm weather, since I'm in NY too :-(

We're over it!!!

-30 with the damn windchill still today, I wore my ski pants to walk to work. And let me tell you, there is nothing better to make me look like a trusted professional than swishing past the office of the senior vice president of government affairs and communication in a pair of bright teal ski pants and matching jacket on my way to my own office. I'm a grownup, everyone!

banana468

I'm over it. My husband hasn't seen his deck in over a month!

;-) see what I did there?

[vent] FI had a bad cold for two weeks.  Then I had a bad cold for two weeks and a hacking cough for 2+ more (it's still going).  My normal 40 minute door-to-door commute on the train has more often than not been 2+ hours each way for a month now because they can't fix the freaking trains, and much of that time has been spent standing outside waiting for late trains on exposed train platforms in single digit temperatures.  And now ice dam water is leaking into my house.  Ice water.  In.  My.  House.  So today there are men in my house taking up an entire room of wet carpet and cutting out damaged drywall.  My refuge from this God-awful weather is now a cold, wet construction zone.

Winter, PLEASE just go the fuck away.  [/vent]

Oh my god, you win (lose?) the suffering Olympics. I know Boston has been hit hard, but it looks like you got hit even harder!

This is for you:

Your sympathy is much appreciated.  :-)  I have been trying to keep my whining to a minimum because lots of people are getting hit hard but I am beyond over this winter.

We have water leaking into our house too because of ice daming We already know we're going to fix both of the windows and ceiling in our bedroom because of water leaking in and last night, H noticed water staining on the ceiling in the downstairs living room. I wanted to cry because all I see are dollar signs and a dwindling bank account because of this winter.

I'm sorry guys, this is my fault. Ice and snow came the day of my shower/bach party and prevented all of my family, future in laws and some of my bridesmaids from getting there to celebrate. Winter and I have had a really good relationship (I'm a teacher and love me some snow days) and I said that in order for us to be ok again that it had to make it up to me. Since then, we've had a delay and two days off, so it's been working really hard to get back on my good side.

Sooooo my bad.

I'm sorry!  Will your homeowners insurance help cover most of the damage at least so that your bank account isn't hit too hard?  Ours has a $500 deductible and I'm crossing my fingers that most of the rest of our damage will be covered.  The adjuster just came out yesterday so we haven't heard from him yet.  I'm nervous though because the carpet in the affected area is new and the same carpet we put down through the rest of the house--if we can't get the same carpet to match or have to shell out more money out-of-pocket to get it I'm going to be really upset.

It just seems doubly cruel to have to suffer through the mess of this damage and then have to pay to fix it, right?

This winter has been the worst! It just took me an hour to get home from the hospital. It's normally a ten minute drive at most. The roads are terrible. And they're calling for more snow Thursday.

Western Canadian winter has actually been pretty good...Today its -10C (14f), and Friday its supposed to be +10C (50f). Very weird, but I will take the few cold days if its above zero in March

I'm sorry, cold girls! 

It isn't flip flop weather in Seattle, but it's I don't need my winter coat, a sweater is fine weather.

Spring's early, this year.

Daffodils and crocus, blossoming trees everywhere. There are huge cherry blossom trees across the street, and when the wind blows, it looks like it's snowing pink flowers.

 A few showers, but lots of sunshine, and about 50 degrees. I'll take it.

The tulip fields north of the city are going to bloom early, so I plan to drive up next week when they explode. Miles and miles of this, in every possible color in the world.

I was outside from 12:30-4:00 in the icy rain...I'm so over winter! I usually don't mind it either. But this is just insanity!

@ohannabelle tell me about this lovely Seattle. I never hear bad things about the weather there. Does it ever snow?

WinstonsGirl

I got to park in heated underground parking today.  Whoop!!  Pretty sure my car didn't want to leave.  For the last 2 weeks, and the next one coming up, we're jumping up to about 10C, then back to -20C.  And repeat.  Such a dirty tease!!  Give me spring already!!!

There is a lot of rain and fog and overcast sky, and some people find that depressing.

Snow, maybe once or twice a year, not more than 1-3 inches, and it rarely lasts more than a couple days. Then more rain.

It seriously snows- more than six inches is serious- maybe once every 5-8 years, and everything shuts down.  A foot of snow and we're in a paralyzed the worlds coming to an end state of existence. (Hills and wet wet ground, and it turns to a sheet of ice.)

In my entire 50 some years, I have seen exactly three white Christmases. Usually cold and fog.

But not always great summers. Lots overcast days, and typically we don't see 80 till after July 4th. August and September are gorgeous.

When it's beautiful, it's perfect. 

I'm not going anywhere. If the rain gets to me, California's a cheap flight and a couple of hours away.
