Ski season starts in the fall. That is good. Funny we are expecting record high temps in boston today.

Winter is coming!

 

[ctenidae]

Winter's coming, as soon as the 83 degree high today passes.

Tops of the Catskill high peaks already are brown and gold...

OK, I'll rain (or snow) on everyone's fall parade -

I am so bummed out that summer is over and the days are getting shorter. This was one of the best summers of my life and I will hate it when the cold weather gets here. I love to be on skis, but other than the time I am physically standing in my bindings, you can fkg have it. What possible good does it do anybody when it's 12*F, snowing sideways and you're stuck on the turnpike in 5 miles of traffic? Can't think of any benefit to that. OK, I love sunny days with 40*F temps and soft bumpy snow underfoot, but shoveling sucks, mud sucks, short days suck, and being stuck inside for 6 months sucks. And being stuck inside with pre-teen girls sucks worse.

Yeah this is a worst-case scenario, and if you want to revoke my AZ membership, I'll understand, but gimme 73*F, sunshine and 2 weeks in the White Mountains or Adirondacks anyday.......

Stop being a big baby or go move to Florida... :wink:

Have you considered a Happy Light? and remember? I love to shovel and hate to ski- so the world goes around. Mud brings peepers, peepers means spring and it only gets better from there... Hang in there. The seasonal changes are what makes the northeast one of the best places to live. You can experience and appreciate each season independently. All say AMEN!

 

[dmc]

I'm the opposite...
I live for winter... Cold crisp days in the woods... beautiful landscape... Clear starry nights... Hunkering down during a big snowstorm anticipating the next days powder... Warm fires...

PSyched!!!!!

 

[ctenidae]

AMEN!

Seasonal changes was the hardest thing for me to get used to when I moved up here from NC. Down there, it's summer, then winter comes in for February (40 degrees and drizzling), then it's summer again. And it's all pine trees, so there's no leaf-changing. Gets boring. Without winter, you don't enjoy summer so much, and vice versa.

When I hit the lottery I'm gonna buy a Happy Light and a big bottle of bourbon, throw the shovel in the garbage can and move to South Carolina, thank you very much. Then I'll fly up every Monday night to race with Bob and the boys at Pat's and come back for golf/hiking season......

I love all you folks on here, but anybody that says they prefer snow, dark and cold to warmth and summertime is completely crazy.......

[Thud]

Who's stuck inside?

[/Thud]

Oh, Fall....like in autumn....man that hurt...next time be more clear...last time I try a cliff jump off my cube

 

[dmc]

Well - I'm crazy then...

 

[Brettski]

is completely crazy.......

OK, Call me crazy...I still grill thoughout the darkness...AND it's a great reason to hit the sack with the wife early...life is like a box of chocolates...

Dude - same here. Doesn't matter the temp. All winter, 3-4 nights per week, I'm standing out at the grill under the eaves of my porch in my ski jacket with a beer in one hand and a flashlight in the other trying not to burn some piece of meat to a cinder. I need to have some warm-weather activity even in the middle of winter.

Ummmm, as far as jumping into bed early with the wife.......a fine idea. I'll have to get back to you on that one....... :lol:

 

[loafer89]

For me snow, darkness and winter are just not the same without at least -10F weather The colder, the better.

I am getting stir crazy with this warm weather, enough already. The effect of cold weather on the oil heating budget is another matter :angry:

Obviously your first mistake is not having consumed enough beer to need the ski jacket.
