Really? No one else is hot?

I had to get up and turn the air conditioner on last night. It was 70 and although I freeze during the day if it's below 75, I can't sleep unless if the temperature is above 68. The weather is so variable here, I think I typically run the air conditioner almost every month out of the year.

Oh no, mrodgers! Thank goodness she's okay. Bummer about the car note, though. Where in the country is that picture? We don't get any kind of winter precipitation that white? Ours is inevitably freezing rain/sleet. Then it just turns to slush.

That picture is just a dusting, LOL. The week before the news was calling for 2 inches of snow or so. They lost it. I found it while clearing the driveway, the 2 inches they lost was underneath the other 6 inches, LOL. The next day we had another 5 or 6 inches. This is about an hour and a half north of Pittsburgh, or more important, about an hour and a half south of Erie since this is the weather we get. I am just north of the line of barely any snow and a ton of snow that is in Pennsylvania. A 6 inch snowstorm is just a dusting to me.

We don't get slush. Slush means it is warming up and everything is finally breaking up and thawing out. Two years ago, we got dumped on and I didn't see the road surface on the major roadways for almost 2 months.

In 2007 when I bought that car in the picture, it was 80° on January 30th while I was shopping around. When I test drove that car the next day, I was standing right next to the salesman literally inches away talking to him and I couldn't see him with the snow coming down.

When we moved into the house, the neighbor warned me about the snow drifting over the road on the other side of his house (out in the country, all fields and the road is a dead end.) I said, no problem, I've got the 4x4 truck and I'll just get a running start from my house. He said, been there done that in his full size F250 Ford. His truck was stuck there for 3 days.

I noticed y'all are getting more rain down south. We are out one more day for icy weather. I really think the roads are fine for most people, but there are lots of people without power due to broken limbs and power lines. People in the more rural areas of the parish may have trouble getting to schools. Oh, and the interstate entrance and exit ramps I use to get to school both had wrecks on them at various times yesterday. I don't mind the cold but I'm really ready for things to dry out.

We're supposed to have a sunny day tomorrow. The sun has not been out for a full day here since Christmas! I love cool/cold weather but not with all of the cloudiness and rain.

Are you kidding me? It was 70 degrees and you turned your A/C on? Even in the middle of the summer ours is not on until it is at least 80.

1990 - birth year? You're 22-23? Check back in with us on that "until it is at least 80" comment in about 30 years.

I thought the same thing.
Until I had a hysterectomy, I was cold all the time. My first hot flash was in the recovery room!

I'm not quite 40, lol. I've been having short hot flashes since my son was born (and that was prior to my 30th birthday). It's just getting worse.

OP- I can definately commiserate. Here in balmy tampa we've been experiencing low-mid 80's with high humidity and i've been running the a/c to DH's constant whinning and complaining. But we have a two story home and the kids (both girls with temperature regulating systems like mine!) are upstairs and their rooms have been registering 84 at night! They would have been sweltering if I didn't intervene!

Can't wait for the 'cold front' coming in tonite!

We just got about 6" of snow and ice last night, no I am not hot

I can't tell you how long our town would be shut down for that much snow! We had .5 inches of sleet and we've been out of school for two days. We really could have made it on a 2 hour delay. The sketchy driving conditions were early both days. I'm not complaining though.

P.S. I'm still burning up at night because DH is blasting the heat. Grrr...

I wish we would get just a little snow !! OP- I would get hubby an electric blanket and cut that heat off!! Lol
