I. Hate. Winter.

 

Me too

[macruisefan]

Me too

 

The worst part: The first day of winter is still 6 days away.

[misty57]

Looks like that here too ! 9'more weeks until we escape :D

How much snow did you all receive from this recent blast from Old Man Winter? In Southeast Michigan, we received between 7-8 inches.

Only 6 inches here, but very wet and heavy. Plus some sleet and freezing rain thrown in for good measure.

No snow, just cold and rainy (in Atlanta). Of course "cold" is relative. High today will be 46 (a warm spell for many of you). But 14 more days Freedom of the Seas here I come! Gonna break out the cruise clothes this week and start the "packing process."

I'm trying to look at the bright side, then the days will start getting longer:D

 

12 days and counting to Marco Island and Key West:)

I'm looking at about 4 inches of fresh snow that needs shoveling now as well. Maybe after another coffee. Only 6 more days till we escape the cold.:)

And people ask why I moved from Chicago to Orlando. :D

6.5" of snow here in mid-Michigan yesterday and unfortunately it's still snowing. :( Normally I would be keeping up with it as it falls but instead I was on a bus trip to Chicago yesterday. I've put it off long enough this morning. I'm getting ready to head out to shovel and run the snowblower. Yuck. My least favorite thing to do in the winter.

 

Another month an we'll be headed to a warmer climate (Ormond Beach FL) to finish out the winter. Oh, and there's the little detail of a cruise in March! :D

I used to love winter. I can't figure out what was wrong with me.

[Aquahound]

Looks miserable.

[Dave85]

I'm really missing having a winter cruise this year... Ugh, stuck in the cold for the entire winter! It was so nice last year having a New Year's cruise out of Miami!

[CruisinCindy]

A white Christmas is very pretty, but darn, we are forecast for 70 degrees and sunny tomorrow in the San Francisco Bay Area. :) My DH is very happy that he moved here from WI, 48 years of those winters was enough.

How true ... "cold" is relative. Our high today is 54 in Columbia, SC ... but that certainly feels very cold to me. :o

Living in South Florida- I would love to be able to turn the A/C off.

85* sun shining..... Green Christmas.

Come on Down!

A foot of snow & now it's blowing and we can't see out our windows. 28F and hoping we don't lose power although we have a generator for back up. I much prefer sand and flip flops:D

[mikechass]

Today it was -45 F with the windchill here.

The temperature itself was -31 F but with the wind it was -45 F.

It is AWFUL and FRIGID...

I am (needless to say) counting down the MOMENTS till we are off to LA for our Azamara cruise!!!

I may need two days to thaw just to be able to feel my fingers again!!

Holy crap! I can't even fathom temperatures like that. That sounds like Pluto to me. :eek:

That's a bit much but I guess I'm the odd man out. Grew up in the snow belt of Pa. and missed having white winters so I'm loving the pathetic 2 inches of snow we got. Then when one is a skier, you actually pray for snow.:D

[OCruisers]

Gosh, the weather conditions for many of you are making me feel embarrassed for whining about a high of 54 and a low of 31. :o
