Dear Winter:

Seriously, I get that it's still February and arguably, you're entitled to at least another month of blustering, but for Christ's sake, PICK A SEASON. It was 12* yesterday morning, it's going to be 50* today, we got several inches of snow overnight, now it's sleeting, and then we're going to have enough rain for flooding. This is not cool and it's not going out with a bang. It's snow or it's rain. Make up your mind.

Also: enough with the bastard-ass cold. There is no reason it needs to be any lower than 20* and the wind chill? Not okay either. I don't need to lie shivering in my bed, wondering if the window's going to be blown out by 50mph wind gusts.

Spring could come any day now and none of us would miss you. No one invited you to the party anyway.

P.S. While I'm at it, if you're going to have weather MPD, could you at least make sure to have one form enough for a delay? I'd really like to have slept for another hour or so.

I couldn't agree with you more. Last year we moved into this house and even with the cold never had one frozen pipe. Not so this year. With all that blistering cold and wind the other day the HOT water pipe leading to the sink in the kitchen froze. No other pipes, just that one. Several hours of a heater directed into the cabinet thawed it, but geeze...comeon!

Oh, and our school district is back to using that Magic 8 ball again to decide if school should be closed or not. It's not though. It's a 90 minute delay. Christ, the last time they closed it was because of a tiny bit of ice. This time they 90 minute for 2 inches of ice on top of snow. WTF are they thinking?

I love when they do that. Three times, we should have had school cancelled because the weather was horrible, but they didn't. The one time it was cancelled, it wasn't too bad.

The house behind ours just had to be gutted because the owner turned off the heat, but not the water. The pipes froze and burst. It was a mess.

Please pass your weather to us. Seriously. We need moisture before the South is engulfed in flames... though that's not necessarily a bad thing.

You can have all the snow from here you want. I'd just like the weather to pick a season instead of going from 19 one day to 50 the next. No wonder everyone is sick!

I love that I can wear shorts one day and a parka the next :) It's the same way down here.. 30, 60, 68, 40, 72, 32..

It needs to be spring like 10 minutes ago.

I didn't want to deal with it so I called in today!

Lucky. No work = no money for me, so I get to go in unless I'm dead.

It was cold as ice down here last night. I thought I escaped the frigid temps from up North. Maybe they were coming to visit me for the sake of old times.

The weather seems generally fucked everywhere this year. I think Nature is screwing with us.
