(Getting out of that warm bed ... now that is the worst part about winter, for sure.)

How about getting out of a warm shower?

I respectfully submit that if you are taking a merely WARM shower then it is not truly winter where you are.

[() | (_) ^/]

Advantage of winter over summer: warm beds on cold nights are wonderful, but there is no such thing as a cold bed on a warm night.

There is no ideal inside temperature during winter. It's always too cold, like when the heat is on too low, or too hot, like when the heat is on too high (or you just walk into the house after having 4 layers on plus a scarf and you immediately start sweating).

Winter is the worst.

I disagree.  There is objectively a truly ideal temperature in winter, and that is when you are in a warm bed.  (Getting out of that warm bed ... now that is the worst part about winter, for sure.)

Well, you should visit the attic I live in.

Will do -- PM me an address, and let me know when.  I'll bring the beers or the Dominion, whichever one you aren't providing.

Still, winter is thé time for playing boardgames with the family....

Agreed. No feeling bad about boardgaming and missing out on going outside.

I hope you're all enjoying your winter!

It's currently 41 degrees C (106 degrees F) in Melbourne. That's bloody hot. Luckily I can come home to an air conditioned house.

It's not quite 30 here in Sydney.

It's stupidly cold in DC. Just plain awful. And it's not even that cold, it can get colder. Winter is absolutely the worst.

Agreed.  As someone who has lived my entire life in West Michigan, I question my inmost being each year and ask myself the same question.  Why the (Insert expletive of choice here) am I living in the godforsaken state of cold?  And then of course I finally have a chance to leave, and I go to grad school at the U of M.

East Michigan ain't much better! But yes. I wish I could live in Michigan during summer, and an island along the Equator the rest of the year. Actually, I'll just take the island year-round.

Yes, to get 5 stars you have to play at least 3 games of forum mafia...

Or, send a Cheque in a SAE envelope to Theory, Care of New York, America.


And winters been really mild here, its January and its nearly double Celsius figures!

[Davio]

I went back from 5 stars to 1. 
At least it's a pretty blue one.

The forum mafia part is incorrect, but I do accept cheques, and I do get mail addressed to "theory, care of New York, America"

The stars correspond to the cost of the card of your title.  Your title is based on post count.

It got down to 5 degrees (Fahrenheit) here.

Brrrrrr

I should probably note that I live in Boise, Idaho.

If I lived in someplace like Alaska, a 5 degree low wouldn't be that big of a deal.

It really is great. I visited Seattle in May a couple years ago. That trip made me realize how mild our weather really is.

I technically live in the suburbs (Meridian), but still close enough to say I live in Boise.

Yeah, Seattle takes a while to come out of its wintertime mistfest.  I'm told that this year, summer is scheduled for August 18th and 19th, so plan accordingly.

20cm new snow during work today. It was fun driving home tonight. 

[Qvist]

Freezing rain this morning, no driving possible at all. The streets are as smooth as glass. Our guests have to come another day...
