Winter! i'm so bloody sick of winter!

Stay there @EveHarrington! It's nasty here.

Do you want to trade spaces? :D:D I would love an extended winter. Spring brings depression and summer is almost intolerable to get through. I should have been an Alaskan girl. I made the mistake of marrying a city boy from California! :O_o: Love will do it to you every time!!! I should have gone north and looked for an eskimo, instead! :rolleyes::D

If it makes you feel any better, my allergies are CRAAAAAAZY!

Fortunately I’m going back home to an area I grew up in so I don’t have allergies there.

I guess I’m trading allergies for cold weather lol.

Snow and Allergies. I'm just outside of Detroit. Why oh why did I leave Utah? Oh that's right Utah people are scary weird no offense to @cactus_jack you are one of the sane ones not molesting female missionaries or beatting their 20 wives

I think I saw a white walker on the way to the grocery store yesterday.

Hey, you, Fadeaway! I am sitting, right now, at the base of the Wasatch Mountains. We have not had much of a winter this year, so I feel absolutely cheated of my favorite season. We are transplants from Washington state and have been here since before they were allowing high-rises to be built. I think they were still pulling handcarts through the city back then, too. ;):p Your post made me laugh!:roflmao:

I was in SLC for a few years until a few weeks ago. The lack of winter was nice imho as I am a summer girl all the way, but as fate would have it, it started snowing the weekend we were moving out. Guess we took it with us. I loved the area just not the culture. Needless to say we weren't of the majority religion. Didn't really have issues with it until the last year or so we were there. The little ways in which women are undermined just did a number on my self esteem. I noticed it mostly in the medical profession. There are some beautiful places there though.

Yes, the shunning and the lack of support, if you are not of the controlling religion, is frustrating, at times. And, yes, the wandering eyes of many men was an awful uncomfortable thing to put up with when we first moved here. Hubby was disgusted with this. And the amount of women on psych drugs, here is way over the national average, as you probably know. They are expected to be so perfect there is no way they can function freely and normally. It is sad. We lived in a neighborhood for 14 years and only one neighbor was friendly and they were catholics. And we had a hoot of a laugh, one year, when the people were instructed that they could not celebrate Halloween on Sunday and had to delay it an extra day. So, we had trick-o-treaters for two days in a row. Yeh, there are some pretty weird things to have to live around here. There are some wonderful people in this mix but they are very much influenced and held back by their religion. As for the medical folk, I know exactly what you suggest. Have seen it, have experienced it, and have friends in the medical setting who are very frustrated with the politics and double standard in it. But, we are here and have had to adjust. It is doubly hard to find friends here. BTW. It snowed over 6 inches today. But the temps have risen and it is half gone. You can feel free to send the snow back our way! :)

 

[Fadeaway]

Yup to every thing you have said. The suicide rate there is scary and I understand why, I know you do too. As far as friends go, I found a lot of luck in the lgbtq community there. I am straight but went to pride as an ally and made some friends there. If it hadn't been for that, I would have felt extra isolated. I will happily send more snow your way as the heat is broken here.

Anyone not living where hell has frozen over?

Nope. It's pretty ridiculous here too. The high/low for tomorrow is 73/35.

Spring HAS to be close, I saw the first turkey vultures of the year today.
