The high yesterday was 12, winter is the worst

Yeah idk why I decided to move to the PNW in winter. At least the winter isn’t super long here but goddamn I hate it lol.

Here I am over here complaining that its in the 30s. The air is so dry because of this cold front, I don't know how people live in areas thats like this on the regular. My skin won't stop itching and drying out.

Late Nov. early December when it first really got cold I'd get constant headaches from this freezing dry air. Thank god my body has adjusted or I'd put my head through the wall right now.

tomorrow is supposed to feel like -40, that's so unnecessary lmao

Related (and morbidly hilarious) news from Canada: the Quebecois version of this - Fred la Marmotte - died literally hours before he was supposed to make his prediction this year. RIP but the timing... impeccable.

I remember when someone on tv, a mayor or something, pick up one of these and dropped his ass on live tv. rip to these legends

[unintentionalty]

Yep that was (former) NYC mayor Bill de Blasio.

[reticentric]

Didn't he also step on it? 😬

[jinny]

Lol! I just woke up, it's almost 2pm, and this is the first post on the page. I forgot about this holiday tbh.

This sucks tbh. Tomorrow in Massachusetts they said it's gonna feel like -50 DEGREES!! WTF!

It’s only meant to be like, two days of cold. We’ll be just fine. Wear layers and use mittens to hold your iced Dunks. No need for hot coffee quite yet.

It's 80F(26c) and sunny here...but tomorrow it will be rainy and 50ish

[steph313]

It’s 84 here today, but it’s dropping into the low 70s this weekend after some rain.

I’ve never known real winter, so as a kid I always want Phil to see his shadow because I hate getting closer to summer, lol
