RE: Arctic Weather Isn't Just Uncomfortable. It's Stressful!
I have a legitimate question: what is appealing to you about living in a colder climate?
There are so many downsides, like life-threateningly cold weather conditions and the stress of maintaining comfortable living conditions. What are the benefits? ☺
Um... benefits?
I guess I get to complain about the weather while trying to make it sound like I'm a tough guy who can handle the cold.
To be honest we live here because I grew up here and the roots have just grown too deeply to rip them out. Friends and family and obligations, &ct. And I actually do love the place I live at the moment because of it's isolation and quiet - yet it's just an hour's drive to the city. (Even though we almost never go there - it's still an option.)
It's just the climate that sucks. And I guess that's just for like four months a year.
I get it, for some reason I thought you moved there from someplace else...my blunder! Four months of cold, that's not as extreme as I was thinking. The area you're in looks nice and serene with the trees, the water, the wildlife. I also love living away from the noise and lights of the city. Please - stay warm!
I was going to say "You too!" but then I remembered you live in Texas. So I guess I'll just say "Yee-haw!"
Ha! That's a good one. Check out this evidence of the warm winter weather we're having today. It's definitely less extreme than your ice!
I guess we're all colder than usual. I heard snow's coming to Florida!
Is that your pool?
The pool is not mine personally, but it's in the back here yep. It snowed here a couple days ago, barely. Nothing compared to what Houston (8 hours south of us) got in December. And now Florida, eh? No doubt winter is HERE, and not just for those above the Mason-Dixon ☺
