You get used to it, really. In a couple of months, we'll think 30 is warm.

Fuck February.

I think where my mother currently is, the temperature is -17 degrees Fahrenheit.  That's just the start of winter.

Which reminds me, I need to look up skiing lesson costs.

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.

17 degrees ABOVE zero?

what are you complaining about?

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.

Your erroneous notions of superiority matter not to me. I abandoned Maine.

On a related note, it's 40 and sunny here. Not at all unpleasant.

On the other hand, we're leaving the dock in 4 hours and in 7 hours we'll be in the open atlantic in 16-20 foot seas and 35 knot winds. So I'd happily knock 20 degrees off the temperature in exchange for knocking 6 or 8 feet off of the wave heights.

Rhode Island is the anomaly of the New England states. Our climate is different thanks to the way the Gulf Stream effects Narragansett Bay, but once you get out of the state and north of I-495, you're in for a mess. Which is why Worcester, MA, which is only 45 minutes away, can have nasty destructive ice storms and we won't get a drop of precipitation.
