No this isn't about holiday music, it's about the temperature.

I live in the south, the state just north and east of Texas. We easily go into triple digits in summers grueling heat, the trade off, winters that don't get that cold.

My dogs woke me up in the middle of the night, so I went to let them out. I opened the door and they just looked up at me with that, uhh, no thanks, you go ahead and we'll sit here and watch.






Right now my winter is a lemon and I want my money back.

Sorry, bro. Make sure those pipes stay warm.

We're having extremely variable weather here in Connecticut.

Friday's low was 2 degrees.

With a -10 degree windchill.

Yesterday we got 6" of snow.(A UCONN Husky)

Today is foggy with a predicted high of near 60 degrees and rain.

With lows tonight dropping back down to 16 degrees.

It's a roller coaster I tell ya.

I didn't believe this possible but it actually got worse after I went back to sleep.

I went to college in Kansas City and I remember it getting some bitter cold winters. Probably because of the vast land....it heated up in the summer and stayed cold during the winter.

Moved to upstate NY for my Masters and dug myself out of some of the deepest snow I have experienced. Even deeper than the winter snows in Cleveland.

Portland is much more mild....often wet in the winter and spring but, usually hovering in the 40s. The freezing cold and snow/ice we have had arrives once or twice a year but, not like upstate NY where it is constant and for months. The summers here, for the most part, are bareable....often mid 80's. A week or so of mid 90's/triple digits used to be a relatively rare occurrence but, summer 2015 was relentless in the number of 90+ days/weeks.

I will take cold any day over brutal, extreme heat.

was -7 here, about -20 with windchill


It's supposed to be hard! If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great!

2 degrees in Texas would be the same as -30 degrees in Ohio. When I lived in Dallas, people would breakout the parkas for anything under 60 degrees. I would be walking around in shorts and they were freezing! lol
