[Xcalibur]

Winter! Soon at least

I'm very looking forward to some -30 celcius, sky, hockey snowball fights! Winter is great!:bouncy:

[GSLeloo]

You forgot fall! Fall is my favorite season!

[Xcalibur]

Hail winter!

[Trinitis]

I live for winter. The heat is such a pain the ass.

-Adredrin

Who lives in a place that gets down to -20 sometimes..and during others, its as high as 115

[peam]

I'm pumped for Fall/Winter. I'm a fat guy. Heat and I don't mingle.

[Camri]

I prefer summer. I would rather be hot than cold.

I turn into a big crybaby in the winter, when I've been outside too long, and my fingers and toes start to hurt and get numb.

It amazes me that some people can work outside all day in winter weather. I would probably start crying and have to be sent home. :(

[Vesi]

Fall and winter for me! <does a little cheer>

Vesi

[GSLeloo]

I like Fall/Winter cause it means curling up in blankets and hot chocolate and hot chicken soup.

[Fabled]

We skipped fall and went right to winter here. Its been about 40-50s for the last two weeks. With the temperatues dropping and snow predicted by the weekend.

[Camri]

<<I like Fall/Winter cause it means curling up in blankets and hot chocolate and hot chicken soup.>>


I like all that too, as long as I don't have to go outside in the cold.
:(

[CrystalTears]

Fall and Winter rule! Fall moreso since it's cold enough to wear a jacket or sweater and it's just beautiful all over.

I prefer the cold. Heat makes me cranky.

[JustMe]

I would rather dress in a nice sweater, kick ass leather jacket, jeans and boots than a skimpy little outfit with a mini-nothing tank top. I think girls dress better in the winter, with the exception of a few...

Edited to add: Forgot to mention - fireplaces +++++ :grin:

[Fraidycat]

Winter makes me feel enclosed and trapped . . i dont like it.
it also feels like summer in me dies and Bruce Willis is not gonna save me from Christmas.

[SpunGirl]

Summer, summer, summer!!!!!!!!!

I hate winter. I forget the name of the syndrome, the winter depression thing, but I think I get that. Not to the point it makes me want to start waving a knife around or anything, but I need lots of warmth and sunlight to keep me happy.

I do like to ski, but I can travel for that. Let me live in the sunshine!

-K

[Fraidycat]

Seasonal Alteration Depression . . I'm just SAD

[Miss X]

You can actually get lamps that create the illusion of sunlight, they are known to significantly reduce the symptoms of SAD. ( I think its also known as seasonal affective dissorder?)
Vx

[Bestatte]

SAD: Seasonal Affective Disorder.

I have it too. I spend most of the winter depressed. It has to do with the lack of sunlight due to shortened daytime hours. White blinding snow is great to offset this, but most people work inside in the winter. They leave for work while it's dark, and go home from work while it's dark. They rarely see the sunlight at all except on weekends.

I spend winters absolutely miserable. Hubby has a special light that I can sit under for an hour, and it helps a little, but just knowing that I need artificial light is depressing too, so I usually end up back to square one before sundown.

My favorite season is spring, in the city, and autumn in the country. There's nothing quite as glorious as sitting by the fireplace eating fresh-baked apple crisp when it's 40 degrees outside, yet being warm enough that I can go out the next morning and tend to my garden without bulking up with sweaters.

[DCSL]

Well, I don't get depressed without sunlight, but I do LOVE the summer. Eighty degrees? That's basking weather. A hundred degrees out or more? Not a problem.

My mother says I should have been born to a rainforest tribe in Brazil...

[Fraidycat]

I think that fer me the horrid feelings come from the fact that summer has gone . . and always so quickly too. I know it is only roughly a quarter of a year in my life but to me the only thing that counts is summer and therefore my life is passing me by quicker . . . It seems.
On the other hand it has given me a reason to get out there and get over my ex girlfrind, I know the only thing that can take my mind of this is by falling in love again.
Heh . . :) (see my profile and reply immediately)

[ElvenRangeress]

I haven't seen the snow since I was 10 *cries* I can't even remember it really ... thats just sad! *Kicks Florida*

[Betheny]

I hate winter. I hate snow. I find myself getting depressed in the winter. It's called season-aligned depression or something. I guess it wouldn't be so bad if I didn't really hate the cold. Or live in a cold state.

[StrayRogue]

Winter rules, I love a white Christmas, gets me all seasonal and merry etc. And I am English; I am immune to the cold.

[Edited on 1-10-03 by StrayRogue]

[StrayRogue]

Damn Americans.

[StrayRogue]

You and yer damn nice snow. Though to be fair, in the hills where my parents live, you can get big 20 foot drifs, so we can hold our own ;) Plus, with global warming, we are getting hotter summers than Florida, so bring on the Winter!

[Weedmage Princess]

Aww, all of you are folks after my own heart!

I love the fall/winter. Total snowbunny here...I hate having to drive in it and shovel it though (but hey that's what husbands and boyfriends are for..heh)

I'm hoping we get another kickass winter like last year here in New England..tons of snow and nice, cold weather!

[Skirmisher]

Last winter in the big snowstorm here in Jersey we got 28 inches of snow.

If we didn't have a snowblower I would have died I think. :) cause we have elderly neighbors so had to do our house, a corner house is nice most of the time, but sucks when its snowing, and theirs several times over the 24 hour+ period it snowed.

Killed our snowblower too, burnt out the belt and had to get it fixed, luckily not till the last run though. Whew! The snow was so heavy and falling so fast, we had to shovel our roof.

Still love winter though! Best time of the year.

[ElvenRangeress]

Awww Daina thank you for showing me that! Only snow I see is when I'm reading ... "Twas the Night before Christmas" to the little kiddies I take care of *smiles sweetly*

[Skirmisher]

Aw, I have to try to find the photo of my cousin from last years storm now.

When we had to shovel the roof, it made a pile of snow a good eight plus feet high that we then jumped into from the roof.

He ::cough:: caught his boot on the gutter and ended going in head first and my sister snapped a photo of him burried head down in the snow buried to his thighs.

Too funny. :)

[DCSL]

Blargh. Snow is fun enough for a little while... like one day. Then it should be GONE. I've lived all over the US and I have to say, I HATED the snow when I lived in New Jersey and Massachusetts. Shovelling my car free of the snow every morning was pure crap.

Although... with all that experience in the northern states, and my trips to Alaska, I feel pretty condescending of the few ice-overs here in Texas. I mean... you should see it. If they get a centimeter of snow and little bit of ice EVERYTHING shuts down. People in Texas don't know how to deal with ice or snow and you know, I don't mind, heh... just means they shut down work and school and I get a day off.

[GS4Gurl]

I LOVE the fall. I LOVE spring. I LOVE the holidays.

I HATE winter, and ice, and snow. It's just a pain in the ass, literally. Well, the ONLY day I like/tolerate snow, is on Christmas day. Otherwise snow can go to hell. I hate being cold. I need warm sun and fresh air. I always get a horrible cold in the winter too.

[CrystalTears]

I like the snow. I could live without driving through it, but I can deal with it. However I do not not NOT want it to be like last winter. That was the pits. TOO much snow.

[Fraidycat]

I used to think i was the only English person who played . . .
Why dont I live in America, whats wrong with me? Why am I banished to a tiny, cold and depressing island?

[longshot]

Xcalibur, is that a picture of the financial district in Toronto?:smilegrin:

Just teasing man!

Actually, I'm getting pumped for winter too. I spent a lot of money on a snowboard last year.

Been a skiier for 16 years, and I finally converted. Snowboarding is a blast!

I kinda miss my skis, but nobody in Japan skis. Oh well...

[Xcalibur]

Hehehe just check the second picture on the right side, the big ad there says where it was taken

Tonight the congelation point will be reached! If it really rain, there will be ALREADY snow! on the damn 2-3 october!

Just hope this winter won't be too windy, wind really doesn't help anything when it's 50 km/h and more:smug:

[Stunseed]

Bah! I spent last winter in Vermont. 12 feet of snow, and all of it sucked major ass. Big guys and ice equal videotaping fun for all, pain and humilation for me. Cabin fever for the first time after living your entire life in Florida was really difficult. After 5 pm, only 2 things to do in Vermont. Get drunk, or not get drunk.

PS, every had silly string freeze on your skin? My friends shot me up for my birthday out in the snow.

[GS4Gurl]

Come to think of it snowboarding looks super fun. Maybe if I tried a fun activity in the snow I'd like it better.

[Xcalibur]

Of course winter is fun

IF when you were 10 years old, all you did was to play an online game during winter, watch tv, and play inside, winter sux

If when you were 10 years old, gemstone didn't existed and you spent like 2-3 hours per day playing outside, skying, hockey, snowball fights sliding, et cetera, winter is damn fun!

it's like everything i guess, if you just don't do it, you whine about it (why do you think feminists women hate men that much? :cool: )

I really hate the rings around the bottom of your pants show gives so when you go inside, you can't cross your legs or anything until it dries which usually takes forever and it slowly ruins your pants.

[Miss X]

Without wishing to start a major debate, if you understood anything about feminism you would know its not about a hatred of men, its about a struggle for equality. :P

Vx

[Edited on 2-10-03 by Miss X]

[Xcalibur]

Without entering that debate, I think feminist was, like all good thinking, good in the begining.

Now it's just the shadow of what it was before, and all the strong feminists are only the lesbian/frustrated-women about men..

Jenisi, you don't have your blood warm enough, live north, you got magma inside your veins here!

[Tsa`ah]

Box me up and ship me to Alaska!

Anything over 70 is a travesty of nature!

Things I love about winter!!!

~Empty parking lots and a fast car! WHEEEEEE!
~Over-protective mothers and small children! (waddle waddle)
~Slick waxed wood or carbon fiber strapped to the feet and steep inclines.
~Polar bear skinny-dipping. Sure, the testes disappear for a few days, but two-week nipple erection is God's gift!
~Nipple erections!
~Out-door ice-skating!
~Schooling the kids in snowball fights!
~School closures and schooling the kids in snowball fights!
~Fire place and roaring fires!
~SOUP IS GOOD!
~Snowmobiles, untouched fields and ditches!
~Good sound sleep!

If you can't stand winter... you're a freak. Or maybe I'm a freak... whatever it is... you're just not right.

[Faellyn]

I dread Summer, every year, its too hot and I can't do anything. Spring is my favorite season followed by Fall, then Winter. If I could skip summer every year I would do it. Winter is nice around the time of the first snowfall, but by the end of January I'm a little tired of it most years.

[Stunseed]

Fall in Florida is perfect to me. It's 70 degrees, overcast and I've got the most incredible seabreaze that kicks in during the day, keeping my cave of a room nice and cool. I hate sleeping hot, and being able to cuddle up with someone you love and getting warm is one of the finest things in life. I can't wait for my birthday present!

Your such an old fart Tsa :P

I prefer Spring, it's neither too hot nor too cold.

The only good thing about winter is snowboarding and what ever winter sports people prefer. Other than that, I hate shoveling my drive way, I hate scraping the snow off my car in the morning, I hate warming up my car for 15 minutes before work, and I hate all the slush that follows you into the house. There's more, but I can't think of it. Since we get snow storms here, I'm sure I'll find more reasons to add to this thread in a month or so. :no:

Get a 4 wheel drive with one of those car starter things and you'll be all set! :thumbsup: My Jeep owned in all that snow.

What DOES suck though is if you don't have the benefit of a garage or a driveway...and you park on the side of the street, then the plows go through and pretty much bury your car in the snow they've plowed off the road...that BLOWS. The snow melts then re-freezes and you're stuck trying to pick mountains of ice from around your car....good times *stare*

[Skirmisher]

Yep. I keep a spade in the trunk of my car just for when I have to dig out from being plowed in.

And nah, no need for four wheel drive, I owned all those big ole SUVs last year in my lil manual neon.

And who wants to live in Florida year round? Some people love it I guess, but not me. I like to see all four seasons thank you. I want the deluxe package, no cheap ass three season home for me.

[Stunseed]

Florida indeed does have it's drawbacks. I'd love to live in Vermont during the month of September. Leaf-peaking season is incredible. Getting up at 7 to watch the sunlight shoot through all the different colored leaves was truly something I'll never forget. Hell, that entire month I prolly slept more under the starlight and tranquility more than I did in my bed. It was so perfect, then the snow came, and it became crap. Winter is the season to see someone at their worst, cabin fever, flu season, kids puking on your new ice boots, oh yeah!

Love you Jolena!

FIRST SNOW, 5 CMS (2 INCHES). BEST DAY TO LEAVE!

WINTER rocks!

[GuildRat]

No shit, or winters along Lake Sinclair! Burr! Talk about a "nad" shriveler. ::shiver::

[Wezas]

I just hope the DC metro gets the Smackdown again. Just enough to close down the government. Nothin like staying at home, getting paid, and playing in the snow.

screw working outside none of them walk to their cars in chicago winters... oh sure it only 17 outside with a 40mph wind off the lake

[Caiylania]

Fall and winter are amazing to me. The colors and weather of fall just make it wonderful to be outside breathing the air. Winter is when hot cocoa and good movies, with white world outside the window, makes for good relaxing times. Snow angels, snow men, and snow ball fights. I love the snow.

You know the best thing about baby's arms?

[Weedmage Princess]

Be nice, Wezas *poke*

In other news, Weedie is *very* jealous that other locations already had their first snowfall, and I'm still waiting for it here :(

On a winter day? My daughter's arms being wrapped around me while I read my baby girl a story. This will be her first winter as a mobile child. It will be fun!

[Weedmage Princess]

Aww how old is your daughter? My son is 11 months...on the verge of standing and walking...soon as it happens, he's going outside in the snow..hee.

[Caiylania]

She just turned a year old! She is only holding one of my hands now when walking, just needs some faith in herself and she will be on her way. I had a heart attack the other day, found her on the stairs. First time ever.

My legs are going to get nicely worked climbing over all these baby gates!

[Weedmage Princess]

Hee..oh yeah..chasing after them is a workout within itself.

[Caiylania]

Good, cause I'd hate to get fat sitting in front of GS and these boards!

[Myshel]

I saw alot of snow when I was 18 and I wasn't impressed, this florida girl couldn't get warm after being out in it. It has snowed in florida, I've seen that twice but it melts as soon as it hits the ground.
Its beautiful but I like seeing it on TV.

Well as long as "According to Sean" isn't a TV show or bestselling book the world is safe. Now "According to Jim"......

[Weedmage Princess]

Yeah but you know Sean also thinks he looks good and he's in shape, when in another 40 years his man titties will have dropped and will be orbiting around his knees like a 75 year old woman's.

now now where did you see his man titties?

[Weedmage Princess]

There was a thread somewhere...where he felt the need to take a bunch of pictures of himself shirtless...when he was trying to say how Godly he is and how much better looking he was than everyone else who plays Gem. He took some without a shirt *shudder* and another where he pulled down his pants and bent over...draw what you will from that.

I don't know where the thread was or the name of it, though...it might have been pulled cause I think he was already banned at that point, and using another name to circumvent the ban. But I don't know.

[Caiylania]

I am beyond gratefull I wasn't around then to see those pictures.

[Xcalibur]

20 november, STILL no snow on the ground

green effect in english? warm effect?

That sux, seriously

[Overlord]

Dude im just thankfull its been extremely misty and we've had rain since october 31st (odd that was our first rainfall for the year)
Miss the daily rain of scotland

[Xcalibur]

So it's around that for everyone? bah! I want a white christmas, to sky, to skate, bring us some damn cold!

[Overlord]

The last time it snowed in mid western cali was 1995 lol and that was a freak event. Though it does snow up here just over the hills, though boarding season has already opened up at tahoe muha ha ha ha ha
Have to get some pictures of me making a fool out of myself and breaking body parts doing stupid stuns *cheers*

[Xcalibur]

Edge did it, once... posting pictures of bmx jumping and such..

It must be bad to live in a place it's 75% of the time summer, not good for warming others, huh?

[Xcalibur]

hmm, wanted to bump my joyce of winter by saying that it'S FREAKING -44 degree (celsius, same in farenheit or close) outside sine like 1 week.

that temperature is a killer!

[Anebriated]

we just got a fresh 5 inches and counting. started about 6 hours ago, its great. with any luck theyll cancel class tomorrow, doubt itll happen but its worth the hope.

[Hips]

HERE'S TO HAVING NEW TIRES!

>raise my brand
You raise your fine elven brandy in a toast!

People on I-95 were driving like... 40 MPH just 'cause of a little snow... those wusses. Heh.

[Latrinsorm]

To wit:

"People, it's cold. Sure, you laugh, haha, but I don't think you understand; it's Why has God forsaken us cold outside."

-30 F in the Troylet. Wheeeeeeee.
