14. Cabin fever is not a good thing.
I have issues with this state (a lot of them) but it's hard to whine about the weather from late October through April.

16. I'll just sit here and go nutz

a meltdown can become very untidy ...

6. At first I thought "that's pretty warm"...
Then I realized, "oh yeah, fahrenheit." (Weirdos.)

34°F = 1°C. Not so warm.

28. I think kelvin to fahrenheit conversion...
Shows just how ridiculous fahrenheit is.

K = (°F + 459.67) / 1.8

Compared to Celcius:
K = °C + 273.15

It's just so much simpler. Get with the times, America.

8. I must be getting old
I can no longer handle the cold. I feel like I'll never warm up. I've joked with my husband that if it becomes necessary to leave the country, I'll have to head to Mexico instead of Canada.

33 here in Oak Hill.

I think maybe you should just move out here. Enough with this Texas nonsense. LA's where all the fun is. ;)

I can take it. :)

Let's see...4 trips to LA and 5 to San Diego...yeah, I know a little bit. More than the average non-resident anyway.

By the way, I was at the gym the other day and "Californication" came on. I had a chuckle to myself.

23. We don't get much winter here.
It's mostly an extended fall until the 2 days of ice, then it's spring.

You can't beat late October - April here in central Texas.

Dare I say it? Are we experiencing Fall? In TEXAS? lol The weather has been so incredible lately that I can't go outside without smiling. :)

And turning off the air conditioner and leaving the windows open will work wonders on my next electric bill.

32. Ha! Warmer in St. Paul, MN this morning!
At 7:55 AM, it was 37°, and sunny! Of course, we'll only be up around 50° today, though. At least there's no snow on the ground... yet.
