just when I thought this year would be a mild winter

[xiolablu]

For some of you, a windchill of -8C with winds moving 32MPH is probably not a big deal. But, I find it distasteful. Many moons ago, before I moved to the chilly northeast, I used to think the ideal winter was anything below 60F. I changed my mind my first winter living in PA. Proceeding my first "real" winter, I survived my second winter in Rochester (more snow due to lake effect, coldcoldcoldcold). Frankly, cold weather is not necessarily a major burden, but it is when I cannot sleep. My wake-up call tomorrow morning will be at 6:30 and I already dread the thought of going out, during the coldest hour of the day. I love snow and winter romanticism, however, right now, I just want to escape to Egypt and scorch under its obese sun. Blah to weather below 30F.

Texas, I will be dreaming my dreams with you tonight.
