Damn I miss winter already

[Xipe Totec]

maybe because in winter, I get to wear my cool hat...

[DeepBlueC]

1. I miss my L.L. Bean boots!!!

The weather is totally beautiful now, so it would be churlish if not insane to complain, but as the season first started to turn and the snow that had been on the ground all winter melted, I was a little sad. I missed snow. I loved making new paths through fresh snow with my Bean boots. Thermoplastic soles...snow tires for the feet..sweet.

[Xipe Totec]

7. The better the weather, ther worser I feel...

Allergies...

[supernova]

2. Funny, from your avatar

you don't look like a snow bunny! :D

[Xipe Totec]

8. Theres' snow down south...

I mean not everywhere, but...

[irish.lambchop]

3. I have a hat like that!!!

The people that laugh at my hat are usually the same ones that end up complaining how cold it is! If only they had a hat like mine - or yours! :) I do NOT miss snow, though.

[Xipe Totec]

9. I do miss the snow

covers a lot of crud...

:hi:

[irish.lambchop]

14. I hear you!

First significant snowfall, everything looks pristine and undisturbed. There's an extraordinary quiet that seems to settle, just like the snow. After that, it's just a pain in the ass :)

[Sanity Claws]

4. Move to Seattle!

Ten inches of snow fell on Friday just north of the city.

5. No offense but that ain't a hat it's a fur.

Watch out for PETA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Xipe Totec]

6. I know...

:yoiks:

[u4ic]

10. I could use that hat

Friggin' blizzard here. It's been snowing since Friday, and will continue well into mid week. :cry: :nuke: :banghead:

[Xipe Totec]

13. The magnolias are in bloom here

and the forsythia is turning everyhting mustard yellow.

The quince bush is in bloom

Violets are blooming, and the asiatic lillies are starting to pop out of the ground.

[u4ic]

16. Want to do a home swap?

:P

[Xipe Totec]

18. What would be the point of moving up,

if you're not there? :shrug:

[u4ic]

29. To wear your hat, of course!

:P


Nothing says there couldn't be a bit of an overlap... :D

[Skittles]

11. aw, you're flashing me back

my dad used to wear that hat....he's been gone 23 years now *sniff*

[blockhead]

12. coyote?

[Xipe Totec]

15. Wabbit

[Jamastiene]

17. 75 degrees has never felt quite this HOT to me before.

I'm going to simply MELT this summer.

[Xipe Totec]

19. Enjoy it,

It's only going to get hotter...

[pengillian101]

20. Favorite hat.....

My all-time favorite warmest hat/cap/bonnet was made from a de-quilled porcupine with silky ties under the chin.

[Xipe Totec]

21. But why remove the quills?!!

Reminds me of the Nightmare before Christmas:

Won't they be impressed.
I am a genius.
See how I transform this old rat
into a most delightful hat,
hmm...
My compliments from me to you
on this your most intriguing hat.
Consider, though, this substitute.
A bat in place of this old rat.
Huh. No, no, no. Now, that's all wrong.
This thing will never make a present.
It's been dead for much too long.
Try something fresher, something pleasant.
Try again, don't give up!

[pengillian101]

37. But why remove the quills?!!

"But why remove the quills?!! Reminds me of the Nightmare before Christmas"

:-)



Without the quills, it was the softest fur you could imagine. It had a silky hood-type lining and was the warmest bonnet-type hat ever.

It couldn't last forever; I guess I wore it out over many years.

[Xipe Totec]

39. Yes, but the quills point out, not in...

They would look wicked cool!

[pengillian101]

40. Yes, but the quills point out, not in...

They would look wicked cool!

Ay-ca-rumba! Indeed.

Mine was super soft, but I get your drift. If you ever get one or make one, be sure to post a pic!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. My dear Xipe Totec!

I must say, you do look quite handsome in your hat! ;-)

But winter will return, fear not!

And in the meantime, enjoy the wonderful weather...

:hug:

[Xipe Totec]

23. It's not about the hat,

It's about what's not under the hat anymore....

:rofl:

[Gormy Cuss]

24. Nice hat, Boris Badunov.

:rofl:

[Xipe Totec]

26. Nyet, my friend, Boris wore a fedora

[Gormy Cuss]

27. Okay, Putin.

:P

[Fox Mulder]

25. Yeah, I want to wear my leather trench coat again.

:cry:

[bixente]

28. Winter is my favourite season

Really, I don't mind any of them, bar summer. My body doesn't handle the heat well.

[Traction311]

30. Winter sucks

And as a matter of fact, so does Spring and Fall. :)

[Xipe Totec]

31. I recommend Houston to you

the city where leaves turn brown in the summer.

:hi:

[Traction311]

35. The weather is nice there

But I need a beach. Seriously, I'm the only person I know who actually likes when it's humid. :)

[Xipe Totec]

36. Galveston is less than an hour away

Seriously, Clear Lake is midway between Houston and Galveston. The marina at Clear Lake is almost as large as Marina del Rey. Plus, that's where JSC is located.

[Connonym]

32. I miss my Uggs (yeah I know they look gross but they feel great)

and we had snow last week but the house was hot enough to nearly require the AC today. Weird fucking weather. But you know, in WI you never know what you're going to get so I could end up needing the Ugg boots another time or two before it's officially mosquito season.

[RebelOne]

33. I'm praying to the weather gods to send winter back.

I hate hot weather and it is going to be hitting 80 this week. And then just around the corner is summer, when I will bitch like hell about the heat.

[Eurobabe]

34. I miss winter because I don't get to ski again until at least November!!

Yesterday was my last day (probably) skiing on a glacier at 3000m. :(

[sammythecat]

38. Remember that song, "Summertime"?

It's been done by virtually everybody and it's one of my all-time favorites. I think the first line goes, "Summertime, and the livin' is easy".

Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit! It ain't. There's a ton of shit that needs to be done in the summer. Continuously. Non-stop chores inside 'n out. Give me the deepest, darkest, depths of January. An hour or two of shoveling now and then, wash the dishes, vacuum the floors, and...done! Nothing to do now but relax.

I do love a sparkling summer day, but I'll always have a place in my heart for a cold, sleety, November weekend as well.

[femmocrat]

41. Me too.... I keep waiting for the "onion snow" that never arrived....

The spring flowers are beautiful, but soon we will have the insect plagues, heat waves, high humidity, inevitable drought, and temperature inversions.

I love the way winter smells, especially the clean, cold air of a snowy day. Sigh....

[Xipe Totec]

42. It seems we're not alone...

[GoddessOfGuinness]

43. It was too hot here yesterday...

And I'm trying to avoid using the a/c, bcause I don't want to get used to it yet.

I'm not an 80 degree kind of person. Wearing layers makes me happy.

[Xipe Totec]

44. It was short sleeve weather in Boston, till yesterday

a decent cold front came through, and it's 50 degrees right now.

finally some relief!

[Blue_In_AK]

45. I got some for ya...

Anchorage yesterday... x(



The third most snowfall in a 24-hour period on record in this city, and THE MOST EVER after April 1.

[Xipe Totec]

46. Boston, April Fool's 1997

Not much different. I loved it then, I'd love it now....

:hi:

[Blue_In_AK]

47. Yes, that's about how it looked here yesterday...

It's melting quite rapidly now, though, so hopefully by the middle of the week we'll be back on the way to spring. It's been a l-o-n-g winter.

[CatholicEdHead]

48. It was still snowing here today

but not sticking, though there are quite a few drifts in the road ditches that have to melt.
