Winter Blues
« on: November 26, 2007, 06:10:05 PM »
Does the thought of winter approaching make anyone else as bummed as I am?

I think there are more "cons" to winter than there are "pros." The days are shorter, the weather is crappier, the sun basically disappears, people suddenly forget how to drive non-stupidly, etc. etc. I'm an outside-runner too, so winter will mean more days stuck inside on the track...ugh.

I like the idea of winter, snow, cold weather which I enjoy, outdoor hockey, coming into a warm house after freezing your butt off outside, but once it gets here and all those other things you mentioned happen, then it just sucks.  I definitely start to get low when the days get their shortest.

I'm from Florida, so it's all new to me!  Well, I've been here for last winter too, but I don't think I'll ever get completely used to the idea of it being below 50 degrees for more than a few days a year.  At night.

It's fun riding my bicycle, but I'm not a big fan of the cold, just of the snow.

I can't wait to bring my girlfriend skiing over Christmas!

So I go away for Christmas, get used to the nice warm temperatures (right around 0 C) and expect to freeze body parts off when I come back, and then it's similarly warm here too!  I only wish there was as much snow--one ski area nearby has gotten 17 feet of snow this season already!

Wow 17ft of snow.  How was the skiing?

I came back to a balmy 20*F after sitting in Arizona at 66*F and Iowa at 55*F
