Good Winter Things

[walterbrunswick]

Don't like:

1) Frostbite. (I used to bicycle to highschool in -35°C (-31°F) weather, and that wasn't fun, since you couldn't breathe.)

2) Strong, cold harsh winds.

3) Shoveling mounds of snow.

Like:

1) Cut down on beer (beer is only REALLY good if you drink it ice cold on hot days after doing physical work). Hot tea and hot chocolate in winter.

2) Rye whiskey.

3) Skating with someone special (gotta find someone special first).

4) Family get-togethers at Christmas.

5) Why would you go on a warm vacation during winter? Who doesn't love snow!?

It's about 90 degrees here.. And it'll only go down to about 75-85 by Christmas day.

So there really is nothing I like about winter down here in Florida.. Apart from it not being 100 degrees..

And dude, change your sig.

The pics of the fireplace are going to make me cry... my old place had a fireplace. Although my new place has a 50" plasma

I am not going to post winter stuff but here is the best of the best for Fall:
Pumpkin Pie
Apple Cider with mulling spice
Chi with pumpkin spice
Turkey
Hockey Season
Changes of the leaves
That nice not to hot and not freeze my ass off

All the Canadians around here seem to dread winter, so I started trying to think of good things about it.

OMG! SAME IN BOISE!!

grew up in the south.

In the south, it's kind of worse b/c it's a super penetrating humid cold that no amount of layering up will help.

In the north, it's a dry cold that isn't as penetrating. 'cept the windy days.

DISLIKES:
~Icy Roads.
~Having to warm up the Car.
~Scraping the Ice off the Car.
~The first melt... when the top layer of snow is still there, but underneath is a huge slushy ready to eat your feet.

LIKES:
~cuddling
~Lower Electric bill b/c i like it cold.
~Burning calories while bordering hypothermia with shivering (increase weight loss with tape worm and laxatives)
~SNOW! SNOW SNOW SNOW SNOW!
~your breath when it's cold.
~the sound of snow crunching underfoot.
~the air smells cleaner.
~S'MORES!!!!
~Layering up for warmth.
~using a blanket on the couch.

well us canadians do these things....

Vacation

Crank up the Heat

Turn to channel 110 on shaw cable for the fireplace

Curl up on the couch with a nice warm blanket and drink scotch and watch reruns of House M.D.

Put on your winter jacket boots etc.. and game on winter maps making it feel more real...

(in ghetto houses only) turn on the oven and leave the door down...

take a nice warm shower with a nice looking girl and have her go down on you....

call us all over with our computers and together we can game and generate enough heat to probably kill the computers...

Vacation, check. Going to Florida for 2 weeks in December/January! Get to see the folks and my brother.

Ahahahah my relatives TOTALLY turned on the fireplace channel while we were unwrapping presents at Christmas, and I thought it was the most ridiculous thing ever... It made me laugh a lot.

And I think I'm definitely going to try gaming on a winter map with my jacket, toque, and boots on.

And, being from Florida, I thought that was kind of retarded. All the Canadians around here seem to dread winter, so I started trying to think of good things about it.

So let me get this straight. You moved from FL to Canada. ... Why!? What's your citizenship status here?
