We better have one kick-ass winter...

[WilliamPitt]

Today and tomorrow are going to be relatively nice here in Boston, but the rest of the week will see more 100+ temperatures and psychotically high humidity.

I hate it. Hate it.

I want it to be winter. More than that, I want a bad-ass howling shrieking winter of white death.

I want my neighborhood to look like this from November 1 to May 1:



Just gonna stare at that a while...aaaaaahhhhh...

3. I also love winter. Hate, hate, hate summer!!!

But, of course, the winters here in North Georgia are quite mild. Just once did we get anything that looked like that photo of snow. That was the Blizzard of 1993.

but this year I want it to be a calm one since I'm trying to drive as little as possible.

I can't stand the summer. You will NEVER hear me complain about winter, NEVER.

It is currently 8 degrees below zero right now with a wind chill of -28. And that's puny little child's play compared to what has been going on in Fargo-Moorhead in the past 3 days. High temperature of -18 with periodic -55 wind chills yesterday. I thank God over and over again that I did not have any classes on my schedule for Friday, and I could just stay inside all day. My car is probably frozen solid at this point.

I have lived in an extreme northern climate all of my life, and I think I have just about fucking HAD IT. I used to bitch a lot about this kind of thing when I was a kid (grade school, mainly), and I would say to myself that I'm gonna go to a university in a better climate than Minnesota/North Dakota, but reality set in later on when I realized that I was basically forced to go to a college close to home if I didn't want to pay out the ass for college.

Then living here for the past 3 years in a climate that actually makes Minneapolis look very tame in comparison, I kind of sucked it up and just fought through the week-long furloughs of -20 high temperatures and -60 wind chills in January/February. But now, waking up and seeing -10 on the Weather Channel at 5:45 am, I just fucking snapped, and told myself that once I get my degree, I am immediately moving to somewhere with a warm climate to do my mandatory interning for licensing in my career field. I don't think I EVER want to see snow fall in real life EVER AGAIN. I don't even want to move to a city that EVER SEES SNOW.

Do you know what they said on the local news on Thursday evening?? They had a medical guy from one of the hospitals tell us that YOU SHOULD NOT GO OUTSIDE FOR MORE THAN 30 MINUTES AT ANY GIVEN TIME TOMORROW OR YOU WILL BE AT RISK OF DYING. Seriously, any sort of skin that is exposed in those temps is frozen within 30 seconds. And I have experienced more than my fair share of frozen skin and frostbite in my days. (Did you know that when you are frostbitten, and you go inside to heal it, that you get a feeling of searing, painful heat in the affected area?? I do.)
