SO its really damned cold here and there is snow up to my knees and cars are stuck under the snow that was thrown over them in order to clear the streets and you're walking in nothing but 2 inches of ice and slush, slippin around.... and I still had school. Bastards!! Grant it I live across the street, but if you're gonna make me go to school, why not clear the pathways so I don't BREAK MY NECK?!?!?
Girl, I'm totally here in Chi-town with you. This needs to end!!! GRRR!!!Originally posted by Hallelujah Here She Comes:
Tell me about it. They haven't even cleared some of the sidewalks of the six inches of snow that piled up, so I had to walk in the dirty, slushy street halfway to work. Charming.
Yesterday was even better. There was a snowstorm going on during my 30 minute walk to work. I'm pretty sure I put on a black coat before I left, but by the time I walked in the door, I was so encrusted in snow and ice that I looked like a freaking snow angel. Or perhaps snow devil would be a more appropriate term, judging from the growls and expletives that I subsequently uttered.
And school? They don't cancel classes here...EVER! You just go and hope that the prof was as tenacious as you in braving whatever meteorological delight mother nature decides to whip up.
Oh, I love Chicago...

I grew up in Chicago. Lived there for 26 years. Then moved to South Bend, IN, where we received even MORE snow and ice (due to lake effect). I now live in New England. I wish it would snow MORE!
The TINY bits of cold, snow and ice the U.S. has received this winter is nothing. Give me that ANY time over 90 degrees F heat with 90% summer humidity! You want to hear me swear up a storm, let me walk for 10 minutes in that heat and humidity, when my fresh clothes are now dripping with sweat and I need a shower 30 seconds after taking one.
If you really hate the cold, move south!

I just finished almost an hour and a half of shoveling, and I still only got about 3/4 of it done. I called my dad at work to see if it was okay if I just stopped were I was. His response?
"Kate, we have a snow blower. I was gonna snow blow when I got home...you didn't have to shovel at all."
Dammit. *lol*

But in the summer you can always get to where you want to go. I hate it when the snow interfers with my life.Originally posted by Spiral_Staircase:
I don't think I could possibly agree more with any statement. You can always put on more clothes to warm up. On a humid day in August, I could strip down to nothing and still sweat like a pig. Bring on the snow!
