What did the Northeast do to deserve this winter?

[Kathy in Cambridge]

This weekend was nice-normal highs in the mid-40s and some areas hitting the low-50s. This morning it was pouring rain and 47 degrees. Now it's 32 and sleeting, and tonight we're supposed to get 3-5" of SNOW! :grr:

Tomorrow's high is 25 degrees. That is a normal early January high. THIS SUCKS!!! I HATE IT!!!!

<rant over>

[meegbear]

3. We voted for Kerry and he's from here

* called Gawd and told him to let us have it.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

Maybe Bush really does talk to Gawd!

:wow:

[yewberry]

4. It'll end soon.

I'm surrendering and moving back out West. When I go, the bad weather will follow me. It did when I moved here, anyway.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

5. Maybe our weather will be back to normal when you move

:shrug:

I can't take much more of this, and I grew up here!

[yewberry]

7. Yeah, I grew up here too.

I moved back here in November of '02. Everyone kept telling me how mild the previous winter had benn, then KA-WHAM! Brutal winters ever since.

[Aiptasia]

6. stirring my sex on the beach

and watching the bikini's walk by...

Screw the northeast. I'm happy right where I am, mang.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

20. I'm thinking of relocating

I don't know how much longer I can stand this

[steve2470]

8. votin for kerry, them damn commie pinko u.n.-lovin LIBRULS ! nt

[JVS]

9. Providing an unsuccessful candidate for the 2004 election

God must be a Clarkie

[leftynyc]

10. I'm pretty sure this has been an average winter

although I see your point - yesterday was quite the tease. Bright side - it can't last much longer.

[redsoxliberal]

11. in nyc, yes, but top 5 snowiest EVER in Boston

We have had almost 100"... about 3 times your total in NYC.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

12. And about 3 times Boston's normal total

i can't take much more of this crap!

[yvr girl]

22. That's over 8 feet of snow!

My mouth is agape as I type.

[ladeuxiemevoiture]

13. Oh, I know!

This has been probably the most depressing winter in the last 10! Grey, damp, cold, windy, rainy. Really makes CA look enticing.

[Kat45]

14. Up until last weekend, we had 14 straight days of below-normal temps.

This winter has just been a seesaw of freezing cold, snow, freezing cold, snow, freezing cold, snow...ad infinitum.

I AM SO SICK OF BEING COLD! WINTER SUCKS, AND THIS WINTER SUCKS MORE THAN THE AVERAGE SUCKY WINTER!

[Kathy in Cambridge]

15. I can't wait for the first day over 70 degrees

at the rate we're going, that may come in June.

[Kat45]

17. If we're lucky......

:shrug:

[soothsayer]

16. damn groundhog!

[Zuni]

18. We are elitist snobs, thats what

Liberal elite

[Kathy in Cambridge]

19. Punishment for our superior schools and liberal ideas

Bush ordered it so his oil buddies can get richer-his heating oil buddies!

[ikojo]

21. Sending a candidate that had no spine was the

first. Had the Dem candidate stood up to the swifties and attacked Bush maybe the weather would be different.

[calico1]

23. Its because we hate America and

we hate our freedom. :crazy:

[Longgrain]

24. Don't get me started! I just had to drive home from work in this shit!

What is normally a 30 minute drive took almost an hour!

And i still have to drive to work again tomorrow! :grr:

[Kathy in Cambridge]

25. We're still getting sleet in the city, but I heard Central Mass

is getting slammed-high winds too.

[Longgrain]

27. My bedroom window is shaking right now as I write this...

and the wind's are really noticible...not liking the looks of this one at all!

[ET Awful]

35. I just posted on it in another thread :). Here in Lowell, it's still

wet snow, but it's a total whiteout when I look out my apartment window.

It's NASTY out there.

[THUNDER HANDS]

26. tell me about it

went to school today, it was raining
came out for lunch, it was hailing
left for home, it was snowing with an inch on the ground

[jonnyblitz]

28. just went to the store and back here in southeastern CT

and the snow is blowing sideways.I had to put salt down so I could drive the car back up the hilly driveway. grrrrr.

[calico1]

29. I'm in SE CT too.

When I got out of work there was a thick coating of ice on my windshield and it was very windy. I have some of that ice melting spray but it was hard getting it to go on the windshield.

[jonnyblitz]

30. you are not that far from me...

I checked your profile. I am a few streets over from Mohegan Sun..:hi:

[calico1]

31. Really? I was in Mohegan Sun

twice this past month. Once for breakfast in the "old" buffet and once for a reunion luncheon with some old coworkers in the "new" buffet. I live in Gales Ferry but on the border of Groton and I work in Groton. :hi:

[jonnyblitz]

32. i have never been there.

believe it or not. no interest. :shrug:

[calico1]

33. I live close to both.

I don't go there often at all. I just happened to be there twice in the past month. I am not a gambler so it doesn't interest me in that sense.

[FlyByNight]

38. Man, I do not miss New England winters

I'm originally from southern New England and I moved south about 4 and a half years ago. Damn, it's brutal up there.

If it's any consolation - probably not - Spring will officially begin in a couple weeks. Something to look forward to, at least.

[Historic NY]

34. I don't know but the wind is blowing against my in wall a/c .....and its

sending in a draft that gives me the chills. I knew I should have covered it in Oct. I had to improvise with some Glad wrap, duct tape, newspaper and a heavy piece of wool.

Come on spring........please

[northzax]

36. the Sox won the Series

and you're suprised that hell is freezing over?

[Kathy in Cambridge]

37. That's what everyone up here is saying too!

it's the Boston thing-the glass is ALWAYS half-empty! :D

[Ellen Forradalom]

39. You continue to tolerate the presence of Matcom amongst you

Which makes God very, very angry.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

40. Matcom, his litle yellow asses, the purple dinosaur, and the scotch

no wonder hell is freezing over! :scared:

[Ellen Forradalom]

41. That's a hippo, not a dinosaur

Barney the Purple Dinosaur is from Connecticut.
