This not winter, people

[digitaldiscipline]

Okay, yes, it was in the 30's last night. It's going to be in the mid-70's this afternoon. Please turn the Instant Sinus Dehydrator off.

I mean, I have no qualms about having a nosebleed all over my desk, and I'm wearing dark colors, but people might get the wrong idea.

My concession to the fact that it isn't "walk outside and sweat" weather was twofold. One, I'm not bitching about the heat. Two, I thought to myself, "If I was outside doing yardwork this morning, I might want to put on some gloves."

You can take a guy out of Buffalo, but you can't take the Buffalo out of the guy.

It's about 10F here in Toronto. I imagine it's much the same in Buffalo. That's a proper winter temperature.

If it can't snow, it's not winter.

You'd never believe it was 60 degrees here today to see everyone bundled up and complaining about the breeze.

Me: "You know what I want to do? Play football."
Them: *looks of horror*

Should be nice lifting weather when I get home this evening, in any case.

Um, the 20 some odd inches of white s*** on the ground outside my window says otherwise.

that would mean it could snow, right? ergo, by my definition, winter, or at least "wintry."

fifties is not wintry anywhere in my book. it might be "wildly unseasonable" down here in, say, august, but not wintry.

I had always thought Texas would be this way too, but for the most part people are very reasonable about the weather here. There's a bit of an acclimation period when we drop from 95+ heat index every day to 65, but by now the attire largely matches the weather even by northern standards (except we don't break out the shorts when it's suddenly 50 after a length of 20s, mostly because we don't get the length of 20s to get acclimated to it).

Hilariously I cannot wait to move down there...I often wonder if the weather would start to freak me out after a little bit. I imagine it would.

The only real change of seasons is it's 15 degrees cooler and not as humid from around Thanksgiving to Easter than it is the rest of the year.

HA!

Can't stand the heat? Go back to Buffalo.... darn northerners... think they know everything... whatever.

Heh! I can take the heat, I just don't care for it.

Buffalo's summers and Florda's winters? Hey, that seems like a good idea....

No, wait, I'm not retired yet. ;-)

Get an RV and you can be a real snowbird!! I dunno I just found it ironic after all the "oo ooo florida oo oo its hot deal with it ooo ooo" bs you guys pulled at Convergence...

Re: HA!

You'll notice that most of that particular flavor of dick-swinging BS was perpetrated by the person who subsequently fled to Canada (and hates the cold).

Re: HA!

oh, irony most cru-el!

It's windy here. And some dork on my Twitter feed is shouting about how pleased he is that El Lay is finally having 'weather.' Mind you, not a peep from this joker when it's raining so hard I would not be surprised to see koi falling out of the sky.

p.s.: I think you want to play football to bang some noggins together. But I know what you mean about the sweaters, the bundling and the incessant whining about how cold it is...at 58 degrees.

Oh, I've always loved playing football; this is just the kind of weather that makes it comfortable to do.
