January 6, 20188 yr Wind chills of -30 where I am right now on the plus side at least I'm not out in it smoking!.
January 6, 20188 yr HOW, HOW can they expect a poor little innocent pig like reciprocity to live in such deplorable cold conditions? I am so mad right now that I cannot even think straight, my face is turning beet red! Screw it, I am calling ASPCA and telling them what is going on. PLUS, I am in a generous, giving mood. After some though, I have decided, i want to give. Therefore, I would like to donate $25 out of each of Bakon's paychecks to the ASPCA so that no other piggies might suffer the hellish drifting snow banks we see here. I just feel like it is the right thing to do. 16 hours ago, reciprocity said: Yup ..... older you get, the less tolerable the cold is!
January 6, 20188 yr We didn't get the snow that hit the east coast, but we did get..... and are still getting... The brutal cold. When I got up this morning (6am), it was an actual air temp of -6*F... I really don't know what the will chill is...it doesn't matter...cold is cold! Get this... By Thursday , the forecast is for 50* and rain!... I really don't like that either, this time of year...dump a bunch of water on the frozen ground, makes for a big mess.. 14 days and I will be in Marco Island sitting in the sunshine and sand.....
January 6, 20188 yr It's a downright balmy 17 degrees at my house this morning. This afternoon, temps are forecasted to be above freezing for a brief stint. So, come on down. We'll have a cookout.

January 6, 20188 yr Thanks for the concern all I really don't mind the snow & cold so much. I'll be warm enough once I attend Joe's cookout Edited January 6, 20188 yr by reciprocity

Plus with places that have winter, we can appreciate spring and summer a bit more. Still if I never had to face another winter again I would be fine. When I was a kid I could walk around in freezing weather in a tee and shorts. Not anymore. I hate the summer where I am... it’s disgusting.
January 6, 20188 yr The thing I don't like about where I am is the swing in temps & humidity between winter and summer. With humidity factored in it can be over 40C in summer (that's over 100 F) and in winter it's dry as a bone and can get to almost -50C with wind factored in. Your body can get acclimatized to almost anything but it's tough when the variance is that big within a span of 6 months! Edited January 6, 20188 yr by reciprocity

January 6, 20188 yr Everyone seems to get sick (colds & flu) between Oct. & the New Year although, they say temperature has noting to do with illness (I call B.S.!!) At least that sh*t doesn't last all winter anymore since I quit puffing Edited January 6, 20188 yr by reciprocity
January 7, 20188 yr I’ll third that BS call....colds, pneumonia, stomach flu, eye infections.....geez what a Season...so many people were anything but jolly!
January 7, 20188 yr Put some clothes on people and quit throwing negative vibes on my winter. I love the cold

January 7, 20188 yr One thing people forget about a serious winter - It keeps the critters at bay. You know, like mice, bugs, spiders, the neighbor's pesky kids, the dogs next door who bark at NOTHING...
