    I understand.

    I'm thinking right now we are right where we are supposed to be temp wise. We had a 9 day single digit stretch the second week of December. That was definitely not normal. I'm secretly hoping that our December and late January temps just swapped.

    We had a good 18" plus snowfall up here last night that was nice and powdery, no problems driving through it this morning. Now it warmed up like crazy to +30* with gusty winds and it's making heavy cement snow everywhere. I finally managed to get my Tacoma stuck trying to pull out a guy's Silverado. Wound up with a three truck caravan rigged to get everyone freed and moving.

    My temp Guage said 60* today. I'll trade places with y'all. It's winter, it's not supposed to feel nice enough for shorts.

    I've been sweating at work all night because my stupid ass wore long-sleeved undershirt with the long sleeve uniform. I guess I'll have to switch back to the short sleeves!

    I don't even look at the thermals unless its gonna be low teens. Sweating in the things is brutal.

    Eh it's not a thermal. Actually a long sleeve underarmour I bought when I worked all summer in theme park security. My ginger ass kept getting burnt every day. Lol

    :eek: 30°F :crazy: That sucks. My rule is it should not get warmer than 25°F until break-up, but the fickle bitch never listens consistently. I hate it when it gets "greasy". 30°F up there is just nuts IMO.

    60 minutes to clock out. I get paid to shower at work.

    Nobody is here. I'm using all 60 gallons of that hot water and 45 minutes of that hour. Sorry about the visual.

    See you guys next Tuesday night.

    Color me gone!

    It's pretty bad. I much prefer the dry -10-20* winter weather.

    I understand that. I prefer 0 to +15, but I'll take subzero over greasy 30°s.

    Doing good Joe. Scored a 3 day break for Christmas Eve through Boxing Day (for those who know what that is ;)). This weekend is a 4 day break, this being night one off ... but I woke two hours after laying down tonight. I'll get another nap later.

    Counting down to visiting the kids/grandkids in PHX ... 29 days to go.

    Hope all is well with you and yours Joe.
