I think we have had 6+ days of -50° temps this winter so far.

Yup, the weather up there is putting a serious hurt on my cash flow. My jobs come out of northern IN, and all that snow sure gets in the way.

Supposed to be a break in the weather for three days coming up, so hopefully I can sneak a job in so I can pay my car payment...

I hear ya, it has been a brutal winter compared to the past several here. I'm hoping those below 0 temps are behind us now.

I'm glad I dont live in Atlanta. What a cluster that was. It's horrible to drive through there in the summer, let alone with snow.

My mustang is now my daily driver since I sold my other car. I have so much salt on from the last storm that it now looks like a powdered donut.

****! Even in FL it's been cold as hell. I know I know people like to make fun of us thinking its cold but keep in mind that humidity makes it feel far worse than the temp appears. Plus we still have wind chill. Today we had a high (not feels like) of 40 and a constant steady wind and annoyingly light mist of rain. Good friend that lived in Minnesota his whole life up til last year said it felt like single digits.

I feel for you guys up there though. At least I can still drive her without worrying about snow or salt.

A water main outside of our apartment broke a few hours ago and we have no water here, and tomorrow's our anniversary and we have dinner plans at a fancy restaurant. Guess I get to go in to work and off to dinner all nasty and greasy.

**** MN winter.

Haha well luckily by the time I woke up this morning we had about 50% water pressure, just enough to eek out a shower, so things are good thankfully.

Was just there over the holidays… I already miss that weather. My family is asking me to move there as well. But I have too much at stake here west. I have to stay put for now.
