    Who the fuck willingly lives in this Hoth-like environment? Tell us your stories of horrible cold, and how you survived.
    Next time I come here, I'm slicing Scarlet open and sliding inside his guts to stay warm.

    If your ears turn black that means they're going to fall off.

    but how will my glasses stay on my head

    That's when you just stay inside and watch TV all day.

    Unless you have to go outside, in which case you go outside and don't get stuck in a snowbank and die.

    Manifest, I invested in some earmuffs a couple of weeks ago when I was going to be standing outside for my grandpa's funeral. I wear them all the time now. It makes me sad/keeps me from losing chunks of flesh.

    Here in Dallas, where winter days vary between 60 above and 4 below, sometimes going from one to the other in less than 8 hours, we survive by just plain being hardcore Xtremo badass motherfuckers. You fags with your "climate" and "consistent weather" can quit whining.

    Atoms must be seen at absolute zero before classes are canceled. The physics department had a fit about that idea, but in the end the Headmaster (liberal arts degree) won.

    It's only happened once here, and that was because there was this huge fire in California that was making it unsafe to go outside.

    It was sad looking at the dogs wearing medical masks so they could go for walks.

    I live in Chicago to prove that I'm not a pussy. Wind chill was supposedly around -35 last night, and it was six below before the wind chill when I got up this morning.

    Meanwhile, ten-year-olds are walking to school. We grow 'em tough around here.

    My college has cancelled classes twice since I've been here, with about 4 or 5 two hour delays (first two classes cancelled).

    This is all for less than a foot of snow, but no less than a 1/2" of ice.




    I would rather have the snow.

    The issue isn't finding better places to live, it's convincing the rest of the family to move there, too.
