With Canada going so far north it is basically snowing everyday some place in Canada.

The winter predictions for my area of WI have a week long period from Jan 1st they say will never be above -30 degrees.

I really hope that does not happen. O_O

Other way around - you can always cool off in the pool or a/c but doing anything outside in clothes heavier than a sweatshirt gets awkward. I detest having to be all bundled up in coats and gloves.

I can't play golf in freezing temps, ice and snow. I can play all day long, and do, in 110 degree weather.

I can't even imagine 50 below....at around 10 degrees...i don't want to be outside...even for 30 seconds.

I hate cold weather. Anything below 20 is miserable. I enjoy sitting inside watch the snow, but I seem to get chilled easily. My fingers get very painful when they're cold, the results of a few experience of near frostbite. On the other hand, my wife hates hot weather. Above 85, and she's headed inside.

It should be a challenge to pick a place to retire.

Why can't you play golf in freezing temps? check out the gallary

at -50 you might want to wear a coat and hat otherwise a nice flannel and a baseball cap will due

Even though there are a few silly tournaments, cold weather is very hard on the equipment. The thin metal club face on the woods can be damage, and it also can make your balls brittle.

:: must resist ball joke::

I have a few pairs of thermal underwear

There is an old joke about the peanut vendor during a cold New York winter that comes to mind.....

Probably the original story behind "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire".....

snowing in wyoming and montana!!! anyone up for a road trip?

must be climate change since it is different

I hope this means there will a lot of snow in WI this year!!! I love the snow and cold weather!!

Woke up to snow falling this morning! Glad I covered the tomatoes in the garden last night!

I love spring, summer, and fall, and generally dislike everything about winter, but there is one nice thing about 4 or 5 months of cold dark isolation, I know this sounds bad, but, a break from the neighbors. We live on a street with a bunch of retired people that think we want to hear about what is going on in the neighborhood (which is usually nothing). We are always in a hurry, but people insist on stopping us to fill us in on the latest mind-numbing neighborhood gossip. But for 4 or 5 months of the year, when eveyone is trapped in their houses, we are free to come and go as we please, no idle chit-chat, no phony waves, no fake admiring of their landscaping, no pretending to like their stupid dogs that poop in my yard, it's a nice break.

Bite your tongue!

Glad I'm not your neighbor, Bucs. Actually, you should come live in my neighborhood and I'll take yours. I miss neighbors that actually care about each other and have fun together. It's a dying breed.

Plus having a lot of retired folks in your neighborhood or busy bodies ensures that nothing untoward is going to happen without them witnessing whodunit!

This made me laugh...and i can relate, to a degree.

I actually like most of my neighbors and am nice to all of them, even the ones that let their dogs make in my yard. And it's true, they are a good security system, as they don't miss a thing. In fact, they were so complimentary, that they almost seemed pleased that I finally traded in my rusted-out 2002 Hyundai this summer. So I'll keep Waiving and smiling for a few more months.

It's just nice to re-charge over the winter.
