4. It's only minus 2 Celcius
But we're really wimpy here. A few days ago, it was about plus 14. Huge difference.

16. I second "It eventually ends"
I despise cold and snow.

8. Actually I hit the local slopes during the week
and encounter little lift traffic. Some of the people are "stuffy" though.

5. I'm staying in my sisters garage right now..
Actually a little room they built off the side of it. I have a little fridge, stove, nukewaver, and sink. But, no heat or bathroom. Well, a little space heater. Brrrr. It's free and has carpet and drywall.

The price is right.. Free..

11. I'm saving up a ton of cash..
I do have to babysit for about ten hours per week.. But, I enjoy it.

And if it gets too cold I can go in to crash with my sisters son (he has bunk beds). I might be getting close to doing that.

12. I love the feel of the cold sheets as they get warm
kind of the opposite of the summertime search for a cool spot
