I miss California too!

Re: Who Here ISN'T in California?

lol, I think I am further than any of you. Anyone know where the Northwest Territories, Canada is? Grab a map and look at the highest points in northern Canada. Bingo!

Re: Who Here ISN'T in California?

Wow, you're waaaay up there. One of my friends is from Saskatchewan (Regina area I think).

You're further, but CA is my home and I'm home sick.

Re: Who Here ISN'T in California?

... Saskatchewan ...

OMG you spelled it correctly!

And why aren't you home Sig? School?

Wisconsin rules!!! Ever ridden a car on a frozen lake? Ever shoveled snow off a roof and then done flips from the roof onto the pile of snow. Ever skied in a 10K race across a frozen lake at night? Ever seen beautiful Wisconsin autumns? Ever barhoped from a bar to bar until you end up outside your house? The only major problem with Wisconsin, especially northern Wisconsin: no Armenians.

Another problem with Wisconsin: Green Bay Packer fans.

Favre > God

Karoaper, I haven't done any of those ... except maybe the bautiful autumn thing. I also tried to cry once in the winter when I had to scrape the windows of my car (-19F windchill) but I couldn't get the tears to leave the tear ducts.

Oh the 'fun' of Wisconsin winter. I frequently think of becoming like the migratory birds and making for Central America for part of winter. Anyone who hasn’t experienced their nose getting runny from the bitter cold, and then the subsequent and nearly instant freezing of that snot (inside your nose), hasn’t really felt cold weather. Sometimes I like to shower, go outside in the bitter cold with wet hair and mold my hair into a funky temporary ice sculpture. Yea Wisconsin. I do not own any Packer paraphernalia.

Madison is an exception to most of that, though.

Being a weather person in southern CA has to be one of the easiest jobs on Earth.

Ugh. The boogers freeze right inside your nose and your face is too cold and to feel the snot, which instantaneously starts to drip as soon as you step outside and that cold blast of wind slaps you, SLAPS YOU, in the face, causing you to become winded and having to take several shallow breaths and you WANT to cry, but, you just cant! I hate cold...xxxxing HATE it.

When I lived in Tennessee there was a ‘blizzard’ () of about nine inches of snow. That basically shut down everything (except a few of the gas stations) for an entire week. One of my roommates had a 4x4 pathfinder and chains, so we could get around without too much trouble (and give rides to the poor saps who tried to drive without winter-driving experience.)

I don’t hate cold weather. I really like the change of seasons. I love snow (and it often gets too cold to even snow in WI). But winter in Wisconsin sometimes feels too long to me without a break (that is when I start thinking about heading to southern CA, Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia… etc...)
