Looks familiar X! :?

OK, CG, rub it in. I am seeing -7 right now.
But, it will probably thaw out in January and we will have 40 degree temps. That's Wisconsin for you! :roll:

Oh my gosh, I hate the cold soooooo much!!! I didn't even leave my house yesterday. It looked like Alaska outside yesterday with the snow blowing and 35 mph gusts. I told one of my co-workers that hell froze over and someone put me in it :evil: . It is way to early for this crap. Our grill isn't covered either. We were still ocassionally using it last week. How many days til spring? I must be cranky because I so dislike ( I didn't want to say hate again) how it gets dark so early too. Combined with the cold, it's a real energy zapper.

I'll try to put on my happy face now :wink: . I must book the May trip soon. That will get me out of this cold weather funk.

Perhaps I should clarify....

I hate snow because for one year we lived in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We got 340" of snow that year and it took care of any desire I might have had to ever see snow again!

CA Girl,
You lived in the U.P. also at one time? I still have a frostbite mark on my face from walking across campus at N.M.U. to class one morning wearing an Eddie Bauer down coat.

I feel the pain of much snow and bitter cold.

We have ice skated on our lake on the morning of Christmas and played tennis in the afternoon.

I just cannot explain our weather pattern to anyone that hasn't lived in CO.

I blew a path to mine last night I'm doing prime rib grilled shrimp and bacon wrapped peppers for Christmas Eve.

um, yeah, I can relate. Our grill is similarly covered under 2 feet of snow.

And, as it is placed a bit back from our house, we would have to trudge through said 2 feet of snow or shovel a(-nother) path if we REALLY want a steak.

I'll just throw in a chicken pot pie.

I think it looks wonderful. I love snow (in the winter). Much better than rainy, foggy, humid weather and around 32F. Yiiuuukk!

So please send some snow over to Scandinavia :lol:

My grill looks the same! Since the kids' last day of school was cancelled for a snow day, I'll just eat all the Harry & David 'tower of treats' stuff that I bought the teachers. No grilling required!
