SNOWFLAKES

[fudgums]

I'm so tired of snow and winter

[Dadtallica]

We’ve been spoiled up here in the northeast the last decade or so with mild winters, but this one is a butt kicker.

Today was our first day above freezing and almost a month. What’s made it even worse is I don’t always mind snow or a lot of snow. It’s more about when the snow comes. For some reason, all of our storms have come between midnight and 6AM so I get to wake up to a giant pile of snow I get to brush off my car and slogged through it on my way to work.

Yay jobs! It’s all made up anyway!

I had no idea that you had a job.  Great to read, and more proof that you can't judge a book by its cover.

what Part Dad,,,,, Bucks Pa here and ya we have been lucky the past few years with the Snow ,,, I do not miss working in it though crappiest part of the weather is the snow while lugging stretchers through it.

I remember when winter was colder, had more precipitation, and lasted longer, consistently. I either worked in it, or camped and hunted in it. I didn't mind the work, loved the hunting and camping.

Almost 4 years ago, during radiation and chemo, I became significantly more sensitive to the cold, probably a 20-30 degree differential. Still love winter.

The only problem I have with winter is not racing much.

I don’t even know where to begin. I’m waiting till the spring when I plant my garden… search the BBS for more about that.

Oh boy where to begin lol. Well, I live and I am from Central New York, Onondaga county area. I’ve also spent decades of time in places like North Carolina and Arizona. I will probably end up in North Carolina in my retirement years sooner then later. It’s hard to beat that climate and the people are generally cool with the Yankees. I don’t foresee me ever returning to Arizona, the extreme heat is no different than the stupid snow and cold. I remember some occasions in the middle of the summer where they would close the airport because it was too hot to land airplanes and their tires would melt like gum on a shoe.

Here’s where it’s gonna get a little wrinkly, I also chased a girl in my youth to Monroeville Pennsylvania for a couple years. I have fun memories of the girl not of the town. Pittsburgh was OK but you know it’s Pittsburgh! Then sometime around 2010 and in completely unrelated news to the girl, I ended up hosting a variety poker radio show with a gentleman county legislator serving Bucks County, Pennsylvania. His first name is Tom, he was a super fun down to earth fella and definitely a lot like a lot of you. I’m not sure if he’s still a current public official as we’ve lost touch in the last decade or so. We had some excellent discussions and also goofed around like brothers from generations beyond us, and we agreed on almost nothing except we like being on the radio.

Let’s see if you can guess who he is. Say hello for me if you figure it out lol.

  I hope you got the ring the bell!

My wife just had breast cancer surgery and has a couple more weeks of double radiation and she should be clinging that thing too! I only mention it because even though she was always a little colder than the rest of us ever since the surgery, she has been shivering way more. I’m always cold too anyway.

10 years ago, I had a golf ball size lump removed from my armpit that stemmed from what they tell me was an ingrown hair even though for the previous decade, doctors had poked it and said NAH it’s just an ingrown hair.

Cancer sucks! you rock!

[potsNpans]

Cancer does suck, sub tropics rock. A balmy low 70's is almost long sleeve weather

I did ring the bell, after 35 of the highest doses they give humans. Then I got to go back for a modified radical lateral neck dissection, and then a radical bilateral neck dissection. 26 Months without a positive test, although I do have a clavicle joint they are watching, if I get a positive DNA test that;s the first place they're going. It's "inconclusive" right now. I'm fortunate and blessed.

I thought this was about something else.  Nevermind.

I remember Murdale airport (mdh) had temps of 107 all day every day for 2 weeks in 1983.
