Voyager

The fact that I'm loading the truck in just my hoodie and not the hoodie AND a winter coat speaks volumes. It's actually nice out, all things considered.

I hear ya, and yes, to each their own. While I can't totally relate to loving cold weather, it's cool that we all have our preferences.

It sure does, and each day that it stays is another day that I don't want to even leave my house. As it is, I generally open up the kitchen curtains each day to let light into the house, but right now, I've been keeping them closed as the view of the backyard depresses me.

You've got to be kidding...

I hope it's sooner than that...

+5 here, but as I moved the Wunderground map westward, I saw the crazy negative numbers to the west. It looked like mahantango was in the minus double digits as well.

I drive through your township almost every day hauling spring water down to the plant in Fogelsville. Look for me in a rust orange colored Mack pulling a 6,200 gallon tanker.

Actually, I appreciate your honest response, but it just ruined my birthday, and yes, I might need some mental help soon. I could have stayed in Arizona after my mom passed, in a beautiful ranch duplex, in a suburb of Phoenix, but I've been told over and over by the wife that if I did that, our marriage would be over. So I sold, and back to PA I came. And now look at me. A borderline ranting lunatic because of the excessive cold, which I hate with an unbridled passion. Like I said, I can handle normal eastern PA winters, with cold periods interrupted by moderations and thaws. This I can't.

Good God. I really need to move somewhere permanently warm. I can somewhat take an average winter. This I simply cannot.

How does all this correlate to sensible weather?

I'm not a fire fighter, but I'm right there with you regarding summer heat vs winter cold.

Are you serious? This is just going to keep on keeping on?

So this is what I got. A 2026 GMC Terrain AT4. So far I love it! It's so nice to drive a regular vehicle again. One that rides nice, doesn't get blown around in the wind, and people (especially my wife) can actually get in and out of.

I'm with both of you. There is so much residual salt on the roads here that you can't even see the lane markings.

We had a little dimming of the lights going on a few minutes ago. That's one of my worries with this wind combined with the cold. Power outages.
