As, although like Bloody's, I enjoy Winter, I thought it was fitting--as it has been just a bit too much for my taste as well...

Have you ever lived in a cold weather climate?

Oh yeah... I was born in Wisconsin!  However, I've lived in the Bay Area since 1962 and my blood has long since thinned.  

I'll admit snow is pretty but, for me, there's nothing to do in it.  I tried skiing but quickly gave it up after a particularly horrendous day.  I never tried it until my mid-40's, when I met my wife.  She egged me on and told me that since I was a strong athlete I would pick it up easily.  So (critical mistake here!) without any lessons or anything I just started doing it.  I quickly got past the bunny hills and by my third or fourth trip was doing some high intermediate slopes.  However on that one fateful day, the hill was very icy.  Well, I didn't know how the fuck to handle it and as a result I took several ugly falls.  The end result was that I almost ended up in the hospital but instead went back to the lodge with bruises from head to toe.  I could barely move for about a week.  I never tried skiing again and never will.  End of story.

Two weeks ago we went to Colorado and the temperature dropped to the 20's.  That was the coldest weather I've been in for probably a decade or two.  I hated it.

Keep me nice and warm, thank you very much.

Precisely why Eddie Bauer, Sorel, Marmot, REI and Cabela's are there to help you out Duck.  Combine those catalogs/stores with a bottle of cognac and an old blanket (or hunk of styrofoam) to sit on and you'd be all set............even down to -15 F Ice Bowl weather (for 5 hours at the very very least).    A good ole blanket to sit on at Lambeau Field is all you'd ever want in your life after the catalog clothes are attired and shots of cognac taken.   Seeing Randall Cobb back there taking the opening kickoff after the national anthem would likely cause you even more chills as the body fights cognac against emotions.  Stand up for the entire game in 5 F weather  ........ even have a couple of beers ........ go in the Men's Room to warm up every now and then .......... see beer freeze!!  Now that's a Packers game in Titletown.   JnC is here to tell you too.

TITLETOWN USA ........... where the low temperature today was/is 7 F.   The low tomorrow is expected to be 5 F.   http://nfl.packers.com/multimedia/live_cams/

Fuck that.  My feathers begin to wilt when it drops below 50.

Today will be the 6th or 7th straight day over 70 here.  Perfect day for a couple of hours of ping pong and a nice bike ride up in the hills.

It does sound perfect, but I think I'd miss the change of seasons.

If you like variation in weather, I've got a place for you.  It's called Mars.  The temperature there ranges from 95 to -243 degrees Fahrenheit.

Me?  I like a nice comfortable range year round.  A perpetual 60-80 degrees would be perfect for me.

Who knows, the way global warming is going that could soon be Green Bay weather while Oakland gets swallowed up by the ocean.
