I was talking to a friend back in Vegas yesterday. Yesterday seemed to be the day for people in Vegas to call me. I got four phone calls, one email and chatted on IM with someone else. It was insane!
Anyway! I was talking to this friend and told them that it was like 25 degrees out at the time I was talking to him. He then says to me….”Oh that’s nothing.” OK, Mr. I grew up in Montana with -20 degrees as a regular occurrence in the winter, I grew up in Vegas and 25 degrees is fucking cold. He told me my blood would thicken in time and it wouldn’t seem so bad, eventually. Well thank you very fucking much Mr. Advice giver of the cold weather. Fucker.
So it got me to thinking, as the temperature dipped below 20 with the windchill, could my blood thicken? Will my blood thicken so that I don’t shiver uncontrollably at least three times per day when it dips below 40 degrees? Hmmm I guess we will find out!
I tried to catch some of the snow yesterday as it flurried it’s way to the ground. I don’t think I got it:
OK, actually after looking at this again, I can see a few of the flurries in this picture! WHEEEE mission accomplished!

You don’t get used to it. I have lived in the midwest all my life and I. Hate. The. Cold. Srsly. At home I am always bundled up, with a blanket thrown over me. I mean, I guess you learn to deal with it, it becomes your new “normal.” IN gets a lot less snow than MI, so I bitch and whine when we get a few inches like we did yesterday … which is why I got an “oh, you poor thing!” e-mail from my Dad. LOL

Monique: Ugh I’m hoping I at least adapt to it, I don’t have to get used to it really. I lived in Vegas for 38 years, and I HATED. LOATHED actually the summers and anytime it went over 95 degrees out there…which is a regular occurrence there. Just dealt with it and moved on hahaha Guess that’s what I’ll do here with the cold.

You’ll get used to it on at least a seasonal basis. Cold weather will always feel cold, but your body will adapt somewhat. 50 degree weather in September feels like you’re going to freeze to death. 50 degree weather in March makes you want to break out the shorts.

You want snow? Come to Gotham City - we have snow, and ICE - ice isn’t any fun.

Joefish: I used to make fun of people from the Midwest when they’d visit Vegas. They’d be wearing shorts in 60 degree weather and we’d all be in sweaters and parkas. Guess the shoe will be on the other foot soon. LOL
FG: No, I do NOT want snow, you can keep it. kthxbai!
