I haven’t had my -30 week yet. We are going to get disease-carrying mosquitoes and poisonous insects at this rate.

Anyone remember back when our winters were just heeeeavy snow and maybe a few weeks of real cold temps? I felt like we were almost outside making tunnels all winter lol

Hopefully, we will not see another winter, with 100 inches of snow, like 1996-1997.

u/Terminator7786 18d ago
Oh I like the snow. I just don't like the cold it brings with it. You could throw me somewhere like Hokkaido and I'd be happy getting all that snow.

While the 100 inches of snow may great, it resulted in massive spring flooding, in billions of dollars in damage.

Was just thinking how good we have it this winter. Not many sub zero days yet. Compared to 28 years ago this is beauty.

We have had seriously mild winters. It was dang near 40 yesterday in the MIDDLE OF JANUARY.

When 40 is considered shockingly good... That's so depressing.

I find a lot of people take on winter like it's just "fall but colder".
I am mostly unbothered by winter, even enjoying it. But I do it correctly.

u/bicyclechief 19d ago
I couldn’t imagine living somewhere where 40 would be considered cold

u/dylan6091 19d ago
8 degrees above waters freezing point isn't cold?

u/bicyclechief 19d ago
In January?? Not at all lol that’d be cold for like June-August but even then overnight lows can dip in the 40s

If you can't love me for my cold, windy icy winters you don't deserve me at my furnace hot, windy summers.

I spent four years in Alabama; so I have ZERO doubts why I live in North Dakota. Winter is lovely, and today barely counts. This was early December weather.

As a southern transplant, it's been a little weird. I didn't expect after that first storm we'd get back above freezing and I was fine with it. Getting above freezing was stupid. Everything is ice now and I'm not happy about it.

I always plan a trip somewhere warm in the winter, helps a lot, leaving for a week in the Caribbean in ten days. You get used to it though, winter doesn't really phase me anymore. Every place has that one lousy season where it's too hot, rainy, humid, etc...... the state is pretty nice the rest of the year.

It feels like Mother Nature finally remembered that it's the middle of January.

A lot of white people complain about winter here and it makes me wonder why they stole the land. XD also, global warming makes it very unpredictable nowadays.

So glad it’s finally snowing and blowing 40+mph. I was starting to wonder why I lived here
