Guess what?

I just went outside, and breathed, and I could SEE my breath.

How cool is that?

Something sort of like that happened to me. But rather, I walked home in the cold and spent 30 minutes waiting for my hands to have any sensation in them ^^.

What that means is it's time to go inside and make some hot chocolate.

But, mack and rrr, for those of us who have never smoked and never will, this is as close as we get to looking like a badass.

It was chilly today, but I couldn't see my breath. Of course it is Florida and its not Winter.

It's only kind of chilly here now. And tonight won't be terrible, either. I love this weather.

(PS - The high was around 46. Tonight's low is projected to be around 25.)

No, I'm not kidding. If the wind chill is below -50 and/or the temperature is below 0 (both Fahrenheit), then I'll start considering calling the weather "cold."

Well, except for those opportunities to imprint a perfect fog outline of your buttocks with a little pressed ham on a cold winter's night.

Let's not discredit the badassery of this arcane beauty.

You're impressed that you can see your own breath?

I'm starting to gain a new appreciation for just how exotic I am. I see my breath most of the year, and I don't much care for it.

But then, I live in a land where we know spring has come because the snow has gotten warm.

I also eat moose.

I had moose jerky when I visited my relatives in Alaska. It was awesome.

By the way, Verily, I know I've asked this before, but what part of Alaska do you live in? I'm thinking you've said Anchorage, but I'm not sure.

Posted by Verily the Younger (Member # 6705) on :
 
Yeah, I live in Anchorage.

I have yet to see snow

Maybe you can mail me some? :-D

I've seen snow three times. Most recently two years ago during Boston's record setting blizzard. I was lucky to catch my flight the next day, others didn't.

It gets old very quickly.

Last winter, I met a woman who had just moved here from Louisiana. She was really excited about the snow, because she'd never seen it before. I saw her again a week later, and I asked her what she thought of it now. Just as I had predicted, she was already tired of it.

Snow can be beautiful when viewed from the comfort of a heated building, and I suppose there is a certain novelty to people who come from warmer climates. But when you have to go outside early in the morning, trudge through the stuff (getting your socks wet in the process), brush it off your car (while your hands get numb because it's cold outside), then drive to work extra slowly because it's all over the roads, which makes it impossible to maintain control over the direction of your vehicle . . . well, it gets old. Now imagine having to do this every single day . . . sometimes as many as seven or eight months out of the year*. Suddenly the stuff doesn't seem as neat.

(*Edit: Well, okay, it's an extreme exaggeration to say we have to go through this routine every single day of the winter. There are long periods where it doesn't snow at all, though there's still plenty of snow on the ground. Needless to say, we don't have to scrape snow off our cars when it hasn't been snowing. No, that's when we have to go scrape ice off our cars.)

Verily, I understand exactly what yer sayin'. I used to live in northern Canada. Not as north as Canada gets, but north compared to where everyone else lived. One place I lived, Fort McMurray, was far enough north that, during the summer, the sun would go down around 11pm or so and would rise around 3am. In the winter, it'd go down around 2pm and rise around 10 or so.

I'm the only one of my sibs who has not lived in either the Yukon or North West Territories. Although I've been.

Did the whole start yer car every two or three hours while at work cuz, even with battery blankets and block heater, the car still won't start eight hours later. Done the whole boosting car thing from whoever's car was lucky enough to start. Oh yeah, been there, done that.

I'm glad I can't see my breath. Cuz where I live, it would only mean one thing.

Too much garlic.
