A great motto is, "It's always worse somewhere else". Be glad you aren't a victim of the tsunami, or are an employee/former employee of Riggs or Enron.
Keep your chin up. It will get better. And it's easier to look up that way.

Look at this way - if the weather's that bad Maybe the examiners won't come! Keep your chin up.

Pulling people out of the ditc...

I agree. Here in Louisiana, we had snow in New Orleans on Christmas day, and sleet in much of the rest of the state. Since then, it has been rather balmy. Today is 78 degrees, and these temps are supposed to stay with us through at least Sunday. I'm so jealous of those of you with snow, who get cool weather, who get to shovel their driveways just to open their garage door, who can wreck their cars in ice storms, who lose power for weeks on end...Oh, wait, I'm not jealous at all.
Guys, move south, that is all I can offer.

Way, way south.

Patrice, Take a short vacation for a few days. If you use one of the holidays (MLK Day is a good week) and go somewhere warm you can recharge and rejuvinate enough to get through the next two or three months.

"They" are predicting 4 to 12 inches of snow in the Chicago area before it stops tomorrow night. Oh well, it is winter in Chicago, what else can we expect.

Send some snow to me. I'll take it over the cold. We are currently at -25 degrees.

We're allegedly due for freezing rain & cold. However, should be back in the mid/upper 60s by the weekend!! Y'all need to move on south.

Well, now here in South Georgia we're supposed to be in the 80's this weekend. Did I sleep thru Jan-May?

Yup, looks like an ice storm here before some snow. Whatever happened to snow days?

If I could I would. Getting a major snow storm today in the Chicago area, not bad getting to work this morning, only a few inches but - - - the drive home will be - - - well, can I just go home now? 
I'm west of you (2 hours). Thank goodness we moved out of the 'burbs, a drive on a day like today in Chicago must be insane !!!

Since you are in Alaska I bet we do sound like whiners!! My husband and I will be in Alaska in August for a cruise to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary, I assume the weather will be better then?!?

Most of the snow will be gone, and just a few of the ice patches will be around. Little slush.... Actually it will be 24 hours of sunshine at approximately 70 degrees all dang day and night You'll LOVE it! Plan on a night in Anchorage to eat at Jens or Corsair. Suprise your sweetie with this treat. Only the locals know where they are and they're the BEST restaurants in the state I've had other BOLers hit them with rave reviews and notes from their spouses saying "how did you know about this joint"

Daydreaming - any good ideas for shore excursions in Ocho Rios? the beach horseback ride, perhaps? Don't know if it's SADD but all the precipitation also means lack of sunshine, so thinking about upcoming luscious vacations is helping....
