lol. I knew there's a reason I've never gone to Chicago!

Seriously though- i grew up in Florida as a child. The times I knew the cold before that, I was too young to remember them. I didn't even own a coat until I moved to NC when I was 8, and my mother and I were bundled up like eskimo's when it hit 60! lol. Yeah, it gets pretty cold here & in England (where I'm from in England stays about the same temps as Raleigh- its just a wetter cold that seeps right down into you and takes forever to warm up from) but that's why I love indoor heating! lol. And I have a personal radiator to snuggle up to whenever I need him, so I'm usually not too bad about it. But 30's & 40's or less? ughhhh... i'll stay in my warm bed all day!

agreed! actually... no. I'm better with NM/AZ/TX weather. 90-100+ dry heat. Terrible for the skin, but so warm and comfy to work in. Humidity is the death of me in the summer.

next to my car, it's piled as high as the car in the grass. that's from shoveling the driveway. the neighbor kids took all their snow up to their yard, and packed it, and then dug a tunnel from their front door out to the road. i gotta get a picture of that before it melts (like that'll happen anytime soon).

fcukkkkk.....

hit black ice on the way home tonight and slammed into the curb. I wasn't going fast since I was coming up to a stop but I'm not sure about the full extent of the damage- I'm really hoping I didn't damage the axel . And it's on the rim that was already bent too. Definitely not looking forward to telling my dad- esp since he's probably going to be paying out $300-$500 to fix the motor mounts this/next month sometime. And I'm supposed to be the DD at Gorden's birthday tomorrow night... but there's NO WAY I can drive my car with the way it's shaking right now. And I'm not even sure I'll be able to make it to work on Sunday for the Daytona race.

yeah. and people wonder why I hate the snow.

Damn that sucks. You really have to be careful of that black ice it will get you everytime.

yeah... I'm pretty pissed about it. good news is the worst part of it was the rim, i think. I just changed the tyres out and it's riding smoother. however, the alignment's still totally screwed, and it's still making clunking sounds, so there might be minor damage to the axel i think? It's good enough that I can make it to the shop on Monday to have it checked out, but I can't really drive it anywhere else in the meantime.
