Things snow-haters say that annoy me

[twinplanx]

I live in the Northeast and it always amazes me to hear people bash on winter. Why live up here if you do not enjoy all four seasons.

+1 I wish they would all move to FLA/NC & leave this place to those of us who enjoy it.

What kills me is when it's it's 80 degree day out, "It's so nice out, and it'll be even nicer tomorrow." When the foretasted temp for the next day is 85.

Why is hotter nicer? I hate the heat.

I hate the triple H's (Hazy, Hot, Humid). Of course, anything above 75 is too high to me! :lol:
I'm hoping that this summer it's cooler than normal so I can hear all the summer lovers crying the blues while I'm enjoying it and saying 'It's so nice out!' :lol:

"Is there any snow left up there?"

I live in central NJ. People ask that even when it's an epic snow year! Once mid March rolls around a lot of my coworkers start asking me this question! :???: :lol:

Boston Globe revels in the winter that wasn't:

Snowfall stats in Beantown: Historical average 41.9", Nov-Mar 2012 - 8.3"
Days with highs above average: 37%, vs. last season 74%.

"Some have argued that the Winter That Wasn’t is a harbinger of the apocalypse. Well, if you were a larval amphibian, the apocalypse would already be upon you."
...
While the warmer weather may not necessarily portend 40 years of darkness, earthquakes, and volcanoes, we could endure drought, forest fires, and an invasion of voracious, leaf-devouring tent caterpillars.
...
...
etailers are thrilled, said Mike Tesler, of Retail Concepts, a Norwell consulting firm. Stores are stocked with June collections, and people want them. They go to the mall, they buy stuff from other stores, they finish it off with an iced coffee at Panera Bread.

"Our hardiness, explained Jere Daniell, a retired professor of history at Dartmouth and a lifelong New Englander, lies in our ability to adapt.

“One of the things that comes from New England is that you accept what happens,’’ Daniell said. “The regional culture is one in which you make do.’’

“Whinyness is not part of our culture,’’ he said.

And so we soldier on, snowless but unbent, with a stoic belief that things will return to normal - a sentiment that was captured by a notice on the website of Wachusett Mountain Ski Area:

“We are closed. . . . unless we get some natural snow. . . . Next year will be better.’’

Or would that be worse? It’s hard to say."

So I unwrapped a couple of Dove dark chocolates & noticed that inside the wrappers they said: "Enjoy the childhood joys of winter" and "Catch snowflakes on your tongue."
Yeah, good luck with that. :angry:

:lol:

Yeah, right...

What really got me was his implication that winter was long and bad.

Well he was half right... it was bad:uzi:

I love the winter but I also love the summer. I can never understand why people who live in the northeast bich so much about the cold weather. It's not as if it were a surprise. And, oh yeah, if you bitch about the winter, you have absolutely no right to complain when it's a hundred degrees in August. HTFU.
