But I suppose 57 is toasty warm compared to where you're at right now.

Im with you. My heater malfunctioned and I had only a space heater and when I tried to plug in a second one, I tripped a breaker. My house got down to 55. I hate being cold. I couldnt last anywhere outside of CA. I admit it. Im a wuss when it comes to cold. Heat, I can stand. Cold? no thank you.
So I gotta ask: is your heater out too? or can you just not afford the utilities?

I get snow here, in fact it snowed just after Thanksgiving. it didnt last but it was enough to make the trees white for a bit. I LOVE being indoors looking at the snowy trees. Im just under 3000ft. Our overnight temps are in the low 30's and our day temps are mid 50's. Much like your neck of the woods Jason!

We ended up with 2-3 inches here.

I don't pay utilities. I'm broke and living at home - with my parents who are cheap bastards and won't turn on the damned heat.

Making matters worse is the fact that there isn't a scrap of carpeting in the whole friggin' house - it's all wood laminate, linoleum, and tile.

Here in my part of Canada (Toronto)... no snow to speak of yet. We've had a couple of dustings, but you can see the grass, and the streets are completely free of anything resembling ice or snow.

(Sorry - I hate cold and snow!)

I'm near Calgary and it's snowy and gross. I hate Alberta!

YIKES! time to wear the slippers, wooly socks and sweats! maybe thermals underneath. then you wont feel anything. until you sit on a cold toilet seat ar ar~ Its too bad your folks wont pay for heat. Do they know about the CARE program thru PG&E? they can get a discount on their bill. there may be other programs they might be eligible to....whereabouts do you live?

Probably not. It's not like they can't afford to pay for heat, they just won't. So we all walk around with our jackets on inside the house because that doesn't cost anything. They'll wait until we can actually see our breath before they'll turn it on.

Summers are even worse. Triple digit heat? "Open your window and turn on a fan."

I live in Vacahell... I mean Vacaville. Solano County.

Ah. Outlet heaven~ not much else there tho...except the Nut Tree~ Do you guys have the Renaissance Faire there too? I seem to recall that the Faire moved there after striking out in Antioch...(too bad, Antioch could have used the $$$$)

I wish the Ren Faire was still here but it's gone now. They lasted here a few years but have since moved out to a place next to the Casa de Fruta in Hollister (near Gilroy). The Vacaville location was much better and Hollister is a long ass drive for just a day long trip.

But let's not forget that the lovely ****hole called Vacaville is still blessed with a prison and a 24 hour bowling alley/arcade/bar.

And of course, the damned outlets - of which I've worked at two and all of my friends have worked at at least one of at one time or another.

Come east, girl! Do you have Alberta because of the weather? Or because of the politics? Or both? Have you always lived in Alberta?

LOL both. I've lived here all 17 years of my life and I'm just about done with it. I'm getting the hell out of here once I finish college...here's hoping I can find a radio job in say California. I can deal with a life without snow unlike some whinners on this board and the O.C.

Hehe

What is Christmas supposed to look like? It's all so relative. It's summertime (well Spring technically) in the southern hemisphere. Frankly, I need to get out of the states. I'd much prefer a hot holiday anytime over a cold, snowy season.

[tynan88]

Ahhh nothing like 28 degrees and gorgeous sun

Indianapolis current temp: 16
Today's high 24

Damn it's gonna be a cold one!

[Johnny Stew]

It's all cold and snowy here, and I love it.
