I for one am tired of all this cold weather. We had an extremely cold week last week with lows in the 20's just about every night and a couple even in the high teens. I know most of the US got a taste of that winter blast, but I've had enough of winter already and I'm looking forward to spring. Who else has had enough cold weather? Am I the only one?

Ask that question round about august onlyl change it to "who's tired of the heat?" and I'll let you knw how tired of the disgusting heat I am!!!! At least if it is cold you can do things to warm up, but if hot, you are limited. It is easier to keep blood warm than cold.... so ask me come August and I'll tell you I am looking forward to winter!!

I still hate the winter worse, and really hate it now that we have moved into an old house with no insulation. You can't leave heat on during the day when you leave for work, cause of the age of the house, and it is all cypress--would go up quickly. So when you come home at night and the temp was high of 40, you have a cold house. It doesn't take too long to warm up the rooms we will be in but I'm hoping summer will be much better!

And on the other side of that out here in the heat of the summer... you can't afford to leave the AC on all day while at work and you come home to a literal heat box. Trust me.. it will warm up faster than it will cool down. Out here it is 10pm at night before things start to "cool off" outside. So don't count on getting any sleep before then! I hate sweating!

I had to run my AC last night cause it was so hot and no air movement via open windows! BUt then again, I only have 2 windows and all on the same side of the apt!

I am up here in Canada and it is terribly cold, I hate the winter, but we have until the end of March to go before spring comes, there will be a lot more cold weather yet to come before this winter is over, we don't even think about being tired of the cold until March and then we really had enough.

This winter I've just not been in the mood to deal with winter at all. However considering all the facts, I realize that we only broke our snowblower out maybe 3 times, and I've only had a lot of snow on my car maybe 3-5 times all winter. In past winters it's been an every day thing to spend 15 minutes cleaning my car before I could leave, but this one not so much. So I guess I can deal with the cold as long as the snow doesn't come back :)

I could never handle ice and/or snow every day! We don't have to worry much about snow here--it's like once in 5 years, unless this climate thing really shifts and makes our weather even more lopsided. LOL.
I only have to deal with ice on the car and I make my hubby do the scraping while I get our lunches together. It's an even trade off..haha.

But gotta have finances to do that. I tried to move once. But it didnt work out so guess I'm stuck here for ever. I HATE COLD!!!!!

I don't really mind the cold weather as I can wrap up warm against it and my house is nice and warm and cosy. However, we have been having a lot of snow showers since last Friday and the back roads here are dangerous and impassable. It has stopped snowing at the moment but there is more snow forecast for tonight and the weekend so I am going to be housebound for another while. Thankfully, I have stocked up on groceries and I have enough to last me for some weeks. I too can't wait for Spring and I'm looking forward to planting some indoor herbs and tomatoes. I also want to get some new shrubs for my garden to enhance the ones which I planted last year. Hopefully we will get the weather we are expecting.

It has really taken a lot out of me. I don't even want to go outside. I do love snow, but we haven't even had a decent snow storm for all this cold weather we have had to put up with.

I am with you on this one.. I can't stand the cold weather and I live in TN and it doesn't always get that cold in the Winter.. It gets cold enough but nothing like they have been having in the northern states, now that I could not take at all.. I am ready for the flowers to start popping up out of the ground, for more sunny days than cloudy days, and I am ever so ready for Springtime to come on in and bring the sunshine with it....

Yes, I've had enough of the cold winter. It's really cold in winter in Shanghai though the temperature is 3 degrees below zero. The wind can blow to your bone. Somedays are even worse: cloudy or rain. Oh, God! Hope spring's coming soon!

And you posted this 4 months ago when it was still in the middle of winter. It is now April and it is still winter here in Calgary. We have had some nice days but we still get snow storms and cold weather, probably till the end of May.
I am also really tired of the weather and wish it would warm up. I would love to be able to plant my flowers but can't do that till the middle of June, here where I live.
I am going to assume that you live somewhere warm, in the states, that you would already have been tired of the cold weather in January or December when you posted this. It was only the beginnning of winter for us up here in Canada, when you posted this.
