Well, TeaSea, I'm not Ickie but, way up here in South Georgia, I have my heat on too. Gloom, despair, and agony on me.....The City of Tifton has just announced a rate increase on natural gas...Originally Posted by TeaSea

I see no valid reason for winter. There doesn't seem to be any problems with the lower half of the planet and their paradise of endless summer ! I don't understand people who tell me "Oh, winter is so pretty, the quiet snowfalls, the interesting slush and ice, the bitter, icy wind. . .etc.".
No. Winter should be banned like the malicious, cold-hearted troll that it is. Ickie, please, see to it, eh ?

My son lives in Janesville, WI, and via a weather app on my Blackberry, I watched the temps drop from 14 to single digits. Brrrrrrr. Here in the Lone Star state it dipped into the high 30s but back up in the mid-60s today.

PFFFFFFTTTTTTTT!
That's not even close to "arctic" temps.
It's -20C (-4F) here and this is 'cold', not frigid!
Sure I got my winter parka out last night and I wear gloves, but it's too warm to put the hood up or zip the coat all the way up...
Now walking home in the real arctic (Inuvik, not those temperate places like Anchorage) at -51C is frigid, but the aurora was gorgeous and clear that night...
Mind you, a week ago I was having lunch on the beach in Mexico and I'm still wondering why I came home ( yes dear, I know the grandkids are coming over for Christmas, but they have a key...)

It is -38 at the Fairbanks airport right now. It has warmed up today apparently.
Yes, remember those days well....when it was too cold to ski and anything above -20 Fahrenheit was actually pretty nice.
