ITT: A Floridian bitches about cold weather

[Suu]

Use science.  Apply a cold pack to it.

It's cold enough in here...now it's getting to sauna range. Oh well...it's about to s-word, let it get hot as sin in here.

[Suu]

Also, they haven't predicted hardly any snow for RI, yet everywhere around us is apparently getting pummeled. This could mean one of two things...Aput once again, has chosen RI to be the sacred ground...Or we shouldn't plan to go anywhere for the next couple of days.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

It's supposed to drop down to 31 here tonight.
the hell.

Woo! Hard freeze! Get yer plants in! Spray the strawberries! Watch the oranges turn orange overnight!


...And I'm so glad I pay rent for my heat to NOT work.

I've told my landlord, and he said, "Well, the system is old and you're on the top floor. Most of the steam goes into the downstairs apartments first."



I have got to get out of here. I am going to freeze to death next month.

Aaagh, that's against the law, man, if he doesn't fix it.

It's considered an operational system, and I'm cranking the one in the bathroom. I have the valve on the main heater almost all the way open and it's not doing a thing...however, when I DON'T want it on, you bet that fucking hisses like a motherfucker.

If he were to "fix" this, he would have to replace the radiators with baseboard in 12 units, 2 of which are directly on my line. So not only would I freeze, so would they. I fucking hate steam radiators, even when I was staying with the Z's their system was flawed to hell as well. I swear it only came on at 4am so by the time I woke up, my room was sweating.

All he really has to do is install those little electric wall heaters. They're really cheap and they work.

great fucking scott it's 30 F outside and they're saying we might get snow this year for the first time since 89.

every time I go outside and I think of that night court episode when Harry got that gavel warmer for christmas, but found a better use for it, and wished I had one.

would be awkward asking my grandmother to crochet me a gavel warmer though..  she knows I'm not a judge.

[Juana]

The rain has tempered the weather, and it's going to stay in the 40s tonight. Still jacket weather, but I'm not freezing, and that means I don't have to dig around in the garage for another tarp for my lemon tree. The one I've been using has had it.

I remember when it showed in 89...I brought it up in one of my classes and all the kids looked at me funny....they weren't born yet.

It's 31 here, windchill of 18. EIGHTEEN.

Remarkably, my heat still isn't working. It popped on, and then obviously turned off while I was at class. WTF?! My bathroom, however, is sauna-like. This is very not fun.

[Suu]

IT'S ON!

5 MINUTES LATER IT'S OFF AGAIN!

NOW IT'S ON AGAIN AND I SMELL DUST/LINT BURNING!

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

It's 41. I turned the heat on.
I was 13 in 1989 and on my way home from tae kwon do when it snowed.

My neighbors were having a Christmas party, I was 8. One of the other neighborhood kids came in and went, "IT'S SNOWING!" We all ran outside and I was disappointed, having remembered snow from New York. Lol. It stuck on the cars and nothing else.


Also, it's 26F right now, feels like 17F. It's not getting above freezing all day...but still, not a cloud in the sky. I don't think we even got those flurries last night.

[Suu]

And according my my cousin, it's the same temps in southern Alabama. 

[Cain]

40 F and drizzling here. Fucking South Carolina "winters".

That sounds like a typical British winter.

Although, this year, it has actually been quite nice.  Lots of snow, compared to usual, and pretty frosty most of the time. We might even have a white Christmas this year, unlike every other year, where the press hype the unreasonably low chances of a white Christmas, setting up inevitable disappointment.

[LMNO]

Use science.  Apply a cold pack to it.

SCIENCE!


That's a great idea, btw.  I wish I had figured that out when I was still renting.

It's not January yet, you know. That's when we'll have our couple of weeks in the negatives. Sorry we can't be as awesome as Maine...then again, maybe that's why we're superior.
