Stagger, I truly know how you feel, but, consider that things could get better, and also that people love and depend on you.

I can't throw in the towel because of my grandkids....and many days I feel like packing it in. Loss of function sux, but, what is the option? Often each day feels like you are,

Winter is tough on everybody. It just stinks. But Spring will come. Hopefully you will feel better then.

Besides, you gotta stick around for our antics!! That is what this is all about.....making the best of a crappy situation.

Each day now is adding a minute or two to the DAYLIGHT hours!
I guess one could say: 'Always darkest.....etc"
WARM THOUGHTS TO ONE And ALL! - j

and get a dose of YOU guys!! What a hoot! almost 60 posts to Cycleops thread about @#$%*! cold and everything from BOOGERS to SPEEDOS gets talked about !!

You totally make my day....... i had a bad one (SCS trial), but seeing this chatter completely picks a person up!
I luv you all!

Have enjoyed reading your posts about weather in different areas.

I am from North Carolina. It has been cold, and we had snow the week before Christmas.

Tonight is cold, and we have a chance of snow.

Lanny, I hope that the pain you are experiencing is better.
Take Care.

Only got 2" of snow at my house last nite - can handle that, but
the WIND is behind it......20 to 35 mph.

Projected tonite is 24-28 degrees
with wind chill ...... 'feels like' (would you believe) 2 degrees....or less!
(must be that 1 mph wind = decreases -1 degree of temp.?)

Grousing about the weather, is better than grousing about PN,
but the weather affects my PN .
It's a 'catch 22'.

I've just been reading through all the freezing cold posts... and thinking how snuggly warm I feel... and we had an earthquake. Not such a consolation, but it sure wakes us up!
I posted it on my Facebook page for my cousins and family back east, and one cousin freaked out... said we would be swallowed up by the earth, or fall off into the sea! She told me to run to the other side of the mountains! Like I could get over them right now with all the snow falling!
I've lived in California for over 30 years now, I've ridden out two major quakes and over 30 minor ones... I'm a native now. I don't miss the cold after reading all your posts, and after 30 years, I don't miss the family so much either! I go home every few years for family reunions and that fills my need.
Bless you all and I hope you stay warm and healthy through this winter. I have enough trouble keeping my feet warm here where it never snows, I don't know how I would survive there!!!!!!

Bob our storm was overrated. We got about 5 inches, and the wind is not that bad. We are getting some protection from the lake to the east as far as low temps go. It usually doesn't reach us, but it is this time. hmm.

Seams.....I could not keep my composure in an earth quake. I would be wild.
