I normally don't hate winter, but my back sure does after finishing shoveling the drive just now

That's what snowblowers are for...and ATVs with plows...and all inclusive resorts in the Caribbean...and rum & cokes...

We are here at the beachhouse in Baja, and I have to agree.  

The temperature was in the 60s this afternoon, and I had to dither in my decision between short and long sleeves.  (I HATE that part).

It was a strange wind from the East, blowing spray from the incoming waves.

Tomorrow it's only going to be 66.  But not cold enough for a fire in the fireplace.

Doesn't this bite????

In the name of STN snobbery, I must point out that your screen name is "Shawn and Gwyn", therefore the thread title should read "We hate winter".

Now would someone please point out all of my spelling mistakes and obvious grammar errors.

Weather forecast for where my brother works in Western Australia (an iron ore mine):



And yet at Christmas we still sing "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas" and "Frosty the snowman" and "Walking in a winter wonderland" and "Let it snow" and "Jingle bells" ....

We hit 60 yesterday, on the 2nd day of winter. I know we'll get blasted with cold and snow at some point, but for now, I'll take the mild weather.

2 years ago we had 3-4' of snow on the ground at this point in the season!

I hate winter also.

Shouldn't it be "grammatical errors"?

So get a snowmobile!  or one of these - http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/20/2289/Motorcycle-Article/EXPLORER-Snow-Bike-Conversion-Kit.aspx

I hate this poor excuse for a winter here in Pittsburgh. 40 and raining just sucks. Can't do anything outside in that weather.

Let's get below freezing and stay there for a couple months so that ski season can start.

[mxvet57]

The temps here should be in the 20's and snow. It's been in the upper 30's low 40's and no snow.

Yesterday it was 40 and i rode out to a buddy's shop to get the tires changed on the FJR.

On the way home i did hit fog, fogy mist, some ice pelts , and a few Snow flakes.

Christmas day it's looking like middle 40's and sunny. I'm going for a ride before dinner and football. I have never been able to do that before.

  when we lived in MN.. we had snowmobiles.. sold them before moving out here. completely different kind of machine. out here i wont own one. there are no public lands you can ride them on close by, and the snow doesn't last long enough. so you have to trailer them up into the mountains to use them. and i have no place to store them .  now the weekend is looking great.. but there is so much ice and snow in the neighborhood. it will be sometime next week before its clear enough to get out. ohh well.. just have to do some work on Connors sabre and go from there.

Snowmobiles aren't worth the investment here as the season's too short and with the amount of snow we get, a 4-wheel drive ATV (with a winch for extra insurance) will get you pretty much anywhere you want to go for the month or so the snow's at its deepest.

[Mr.Black]

33 degrees and spitting rain.

We definitely had ALL the snow last year but I would like some this year.

OK, a Canam Spyder with Blizzacks or studded snow tires!!!!
