created You know its cold when....
on 01-07-2010 09:15 AM
You have ice forming on the inside of your windows and your heat pump is set on 78°! 
Having moved to the mid west from the deep south, this shit is completely new to my wife and I! How is everyone else managing through this cold snap?

Coming from Canada to Sweden I'd have to say I'm used to it as well. This winter is certainly the coldest and most snow I've seen in Sweden, but still nothing compared to what I left behind.

Snow is beautiful. But girls in bikinis more so. Nuff said.

Lol true enough. You guys are way more acclimated to this stuff than I am. Our first year living here we had 3' of snow in two days. That's more snow than I've seen in my previous 32 years combined.

I moved to Quebec from Atlanta Georgia, and I have to say it is hard to getting used to it.

I would trade off all the summers for what you guys get there. For once I have decided I am staying home this winter and there is no snow at all. I am so sick of it and it looks like I will have to put away the skis. looking it from the bright side I might get more time to spend on the computer . Love winters
I also have one of those - excuse my bad English but I don't know that word - thing like a fireplace but made of metal and it sits on the middle of the room and you have the fire going inside of it Haven't seen one of those for ages and there is no better heat then that. You also hear the wood burning and it is so relaxing .... i might as well poor myself a glass of red wine

psshh I lived in San Diego my whole life until I came here to Wisconsin a year and a half ago. Stupid snow. It's bad enough I own a torquey rear wheel drive American car.
When I left for the break to go back to San Diego a few weeks ago, I left my window cracked like one inch (opps). I come back two weeks later and my apartment is 42F and the heater doesn't work.....fun times.
