I've About Had Enough of This

Cold weather that is. How in the hell is a guy supposed to get anything done in the shop or outside when it's 12 degrees outside? Maybe if that was Celsius but not when we're talking Farenheit. The average temps this time of the year are somewhere around mid 40's. Not toasty but when coupled with the longer daylight, enough to get you up and doing things. What have we got now? Windchills around zero, not just freezing but zero. Last year at this time we were setting records for warm days. Actually hit the 80's a year ago this week. Spring my ass! Mother nature can sure be cruel.

Uh, I'm calling bullshit. Whenever I mention you should close in the building to the elements or add a window for a breeze you have some tough guy excuse about how you can work in there when it's 40 deg. or it'll keep you from spending too much time out there. Fix the heat or bitch about the cold. You can't have it both ways. Love you Pops.

It's Spring and it's 12 degrees. Regardless of the heat or window situation, that's cold and I've had enough of it. I want to kick the door of the shop open and look out at the magnolia budding out and the grass greening up. I want to feel the warmth of the sun and the promise of the new season that Spring brings. Plus, I'm an old man and sometimes I just feel like bitchin'.

I agree. I've had it with cold. I've had it with dreary. I want sun and warmth!

Forty today but snow tomorrow. Depending on the model chosen, anywhere between 2-7 inches. Aaargh.

We just keep paying for last winter's mild weather.

TVI: I read a book a couple of years ago that said it wasn't going to be global warming. It was going to be global weirding. Looks like that might be right. I was able to do some work in the new barn this afternoon in just a sweatshirt until it started cooling off about 5:30. Tomorrow high of 33, snow and wind. Only one day in the 40's next week. Enough already.
