The annual holy fuck it's cold thread

[Satan]

Embrace it. Time to move to Banff or Whistler.

Whistler's not always that certain for snow. Remember when they had the Winter Olympics there a few years back, and had to make fake snow because it was a "global warming" winter in the Northwest.

OMG maybe below 50 overnight later in the week!!! I don't give a shit. I will be at work, and I'm not turning on the heat until at least October 1st. Later if I can.

Going over this year's winter prep plans...probably more insulation over the "old" part of the house, and a couple new 20 amp outlets to temporarily run an oil filled space heater. I'll at least get a small tax credit out of the insulation.

Fuck...I had to turn the heat on a couple times in August...

Yeah, I'm gonna squeeze my ass into the crawlspace beneath our dining room, which was added on, and pack some insulation against the underside of the floor. We had some cold feet in that room last year. I'm hearing this winter may be more frigid. Yay.

Yeah, we've got a crawl space under our living room that isn't insulated. We have a gas fireplace in the room, but insulation is a lot cheaper...

My poor mom...my stupid brother moved her out here this past spring and they're way out in the boonies. She's been on the west coast for 35 years. I'm really worried about her having to deal with -40, snow and ice. She'll be house bound, the poor dear.

Down here, we're getting ready for another hot summer.
And there will be a flood.

[Angel]

We had flooding here in June...of course it was the weekend my sump pump quit working. Bailed the sump basin non-stop for 19 hours till we could get a new one. We don't have any bodies of water here, the ground was just so saturated it couldn't take anymore...

That happens. I skied Park City, Utah and Sun Valley Idaho when rocks and dirt were poking through the ski runs back in the 1980's. Some years there is lot's of snow and some years there isn't. One of the best ski seasons I remember was when mount Pinitubo went off in the Philippines. It affected the weather to where we got some great snow because of it.

[Angel]

I'm thinking Banff will be good this year. There's snow in them thar hills.

We're not talking about the world, you cretin...

Right. Silly me. Little did I know climate only refers to Frozen Hillbilly Hicksville, Canada.

This is MY annual holy fuck it's cold thread. Of course I'm talking about where I live. And there's no fucking hills in this fucking hick town. Winnipeg is Canada's asshole...where I live is Canada's taint...

I kinda like when it floods, for a few days my apartment has 'water views'.

We get a lake on the corner every spring thaw or torrential downpour. No critters...unless you count the pimps and ho's...
