It's 15F outside and we've gotten 32" of snow in the last two days.

It's mid-November and the ski slope up the road is threatening to
open in 2 days -- about 2 weeks early.

Does anyone know how to make it go away?


First buy a snow shovel. Then get your ass in gear.


'twas a sultry 88°F in Phoenix today. Days like this make it
crystal clear why I moved from Cleveland.


Not sure that makes up for 4 months of hell. Going out at 11pm and
finding it still over 105.

Up north, the best time of the day is just after noon and that
coincides nicely with lunch time. In phoenix, lunch time is the
absolute worst part of the day. The best time in the summer is
between 2am and 4am. I don't get out much at that time; I tend to be
sound asleep.

But right now the weather is lovely.


A New York author once said: "The outdoors is something through which I pass
between my apartment and my car."


The same applies in Phoenix.


If you don't want to complain about the weather, move to Hawaii. They don't
even have weather forecasts on the TV because the weather is exactly the
same every day (the islands are surrounded by a one trillion square mile
heat sink). Or, you can do as I do.


Stay inside. With redundant air conditioning.


I do. It gets boring cowering inside all the time.
