Anyone else hate snow and ice?

Post Reply New Topic

Louisiana only gets snow every couple years & it tends to be more ice than snow. When that happens. everything is closed around here because people don't know how to handle it. The schools have to make up for those days. Lots of heaters here have problems when it gets real cold because the fans get frozen or something so you cant run em when you need em most

Definetly. It's way too cold for me. I generally don't go out much in the winter.

I don't hate it, but I probably wouldn't move to a very snowy place. I kind of like shoveling snow and cleaning off the cars, etc. Sometimes I'm wary of slipping on icy steps and cracking my coconut.

So far:

My F-150 truck has been stuck twice in the past weeks in my drive way.
First time I dug my self out, and then rocked the vehicle to where I managed to slide and slalom out.... @ 15 minutes.

Second time was where I needed wife's 4x4 to tug me out backwards, as ice was beneath 7 inches of snow......argh.


Son has Ram 1500 4x4 and spent the night in a ditch when we were out of town. 'Ram tough' 4 wheel drive wouldn't cut the drifting snow,
and he ended up off the road in a ditch while sleeping in the extra cab till his rescue @ 3 A.M.

2 more months.

It's snowing where I am right now. It'd be okay if I could keep warm, not need to go anywhere or do anything and just mess about on sledges or skis all day. However i'm really cold & don't want to go out but my car needs fixing today...

I bought some oveshoe ice grippers recently and they have been fantastic, as walking on iced over pavements is so difficult and risky. I like walking as it clears my head so this means I don't get stuck indoors. I tend to not do well if I don't get out of the house, it's like I get stuck in my own head & if i'm off work can easily spend weeks like that, so i've got be be careful as snow exacerbates that hideway urge.

I've been having fun shovelling all of the driveway snow into a nice hill in the front yard, and hoping the neighbors don't think I'm too crazy.

I don't get snow where I live. It never snows here. It gets cold, but doesn't ever snow.

We presently have "freezing rain" forecast here in northern Louisiana, but the rain is not actually freezing at the moment. I cannot imagine getting all emotional about weather and actually "hating" it -- anger seldom resolves anything -- yet the cold surely does occasionally make me very uncomfortable and/or even somewhat "miserable", so to speak.

snow is pretty and smells nice. but that is the only thing i like about it. ice is only good in cold drinks and no place else. having said this, snow beats the dickens out of extreme summer heat, if i had to choose one, i'd choose snow over broiling heat. both conditions give me cabin fever, as i won't go outside if it is above 80, same for if it is below 30.
