It's colder than fucking Siberia right now? There is literally no redeeming quality to Northern Indiana.
In San Diego, its 65 right now. Kinda sad I'm skipping town today. Although my flight was supposed to be this morning but got cancelled because (I'm assuming) whats happened out east. All my siblings went to IU, that said the state is not the best in the country. Its still better than Ohio though.
And you guys have this happening: Apparently after 3 days of freezing temperatures, the ice expanded and enclosed the cars. Have fun digging out of that.
Well the cold didn't move in quick enough last night and we just had a shit ton of rain all day until about 9:30, it started to turn to snow then quit about an hour or so later. We may have got maybe a half an inch. Barely a dusting. We might have called off work had there been some decent snow but I don't think we will with just cold temps. Aww well. The forecast doesn't predict much snow either for the next few days here.
We don't like cold. You'd have to be a retard to like it. You can't do ANYTHING in it. We can take it. We just don't have to like it.
Southerners don't like the cold. They're poorly equipped for it (and honestly, investing in equipment for it is retarded since less than 30 days out of the year merit 'needing' that equipment), and they're pretty well convinced that when it snows, nature is attacking them. It snowed 5 or so inches here last week, and they handled it marvelously well. After icemageddon and everything Texas went through I'm glad to see someone not shut down because of the precipitation.
Thats kind of interesting, because the way quite a few Southerners are built, you'd think they'd do quite well in the cold. Its almost like the South is evolving to be better suited for a colder environment.
At one time Arlington had the highest number in the nation of fast food restaurants per capita...reflecting on the average human there, I can say I believe it. I've noticed people aren't nearly as rotund here.
You can do plenty in the cold like ski, play pond hockey, do donuts in parking lots, go car sledding etc etc.. You can't do anything in extreme heat.
Its fun to bash on Ohio and all, but that statement is preposterous. Ohio has varied terrain, not endless farmland. They may not be Chicago or New York, but there are redeeming qualities to all 3 of the major cities, multiple cities, not just Indianapolis and whatever you want to call fucking Fort Wayne. Nobody is ranking Ohio as paradise, but its still better, in totality, than 98% of Indiana.
I'm being genuine when I say this, the only good thing in Ohio is Cedar Point. Thats it. The rest of the state could burn and no one who doesn't live there would notice.
False. You can float the river and drink buckets of beer and wear bikinis and have lake parties and go fishing and play baseball.
How much is a ski lift pass again? The tallest hill within 100 miles of here is get ready: 190 feet. You can do donuts if you want the cops here to charge you with reckless driving. You must be kidding. There are way more ways to beat heat. I've been in super-hot heat plenty and it isn't in the same league, stadium or galaxy as extreme cold. You can jump in a pool. We can't jump in a volcano. We have it worse, that's all there is to it. Why do you think 80% of live near the border? To be closer to you? A stray bullet or horny school teacher might get us.
I live in the tropical zone. My blood is quite literally water. I can handle around 55F before I need to start bundling up. Isn't that cute? Our winter is a non-entity this year. It has been "cold" 3 days so far. I like the cold because I sweat through everything otherwise. The actual deep south gets cold. It snows, freezes, sleets. Snow has not touched this area since 1977, and even then it melted instantly on the ground. Southerners lose their shit in the cold because they are generally ill-equipped to breathe without someone reminding them. I hate the south and everyone in it. But sleet? Cars frozen? Fuck that. Suck it, I'm going to the beach because it is 83 today. HAW HAW! *shakes penis at everyone*
I was fucking around, you can do much more in 100 than 0. However, I'm serious as a heart attack about Ohio.
No shit warm weather activities beat the hell out of cold ones. Though I think the winter depression gives northern folk a little more character Im still jealous when I see my friend's from warm weather places still posting boating trips and beach bonfire get togethers. Though extreme heat does cause trouble for some activities. My softball season first day started in Shanghai when it was like 105. My brother's friend ran the league and was shocked when we didn't have anyone heat stroke out. If you didn't stop drinking beers and switch to water/gatorade you were getting dizzy in a hurry. Also, what the fuck is a Polar Vortex? Did Roland Emmerich get ahold of the weather channel and decide to make up an action movie sounding weather condition or something?
False. Once it gets below -10F, it's best to just stay inside. Any outdoor activities are miserable because you need so many layers of clothes that you can barely move. Even if you don't need to move much, -10 or colder burns your lungs. I agree about the heat, though. Anything over 80 and life just sucks. You can always add more clothes in the cold. When it's hot, there's only so much you can take off and it's still going to suck.
My brother spent the last few days at a Scandinavian spa with his girlfriend. The treatment they voluntarily opted for was a hot tub soak and sauna, followed by jumping out and rolling in a snowbank, then back to the hot tub before going for a massage. Thank you but no.
