I am sick and tired of winter weather. What are you sick and tired of?

It has been snowing steadily since Friday evening; well over a foot of snow and it keeps coming. I know winters are long in Minnesota, but we can usually see bare ground by mid-April.

    The rain finally stopped and it looks as though the sun is trying to come out.  It's about time!

      I commiserate with you. Even though I have lived in Southern California for decades, I was born and raised in a city in the Rocky Mountains, so I was well acquainted with wintery weather. I have no desire to ever live in such a place again at any time in my life. I don't even like it when the California weather turns to its version of cold. While not as severe as Minnesota, California's cold weather is no picnic. I always prefer warm and/or hot weather.  Like you, I'm always ready for cold weather to end. 
      I'm no longer acclimatized to the Rockies as I was my first 18 years of life, I lived in or spent time in places all throughout the Pacific after age 18,  Hawaii, Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, etc., so I became a little bit spoiled and I now turn my nose up to living in the cold.

    We believe that our weather keeps the riff-raff out.

      Hey, wait . . . I was planning to fly in for a visit. Does this unusually long-lasting cold front mean that I'll have to wait until the weather warms up?

    No, if you want to visit me, you'll have to wait until Hell freezes over.

      Er, um, who said anything about visiting you?  Minnesota is a big state, I might be going there to see some of my other women. (Don't get so stuck on yourself.)

    Read the restraining order. Minnesota is off limits for you when I am in residence.

      I can't afford to disappoint Rachel and Kim (above).  Besides, you know I never pay attention to those silly restrai . . . hey, what's the big idea, Officer, where are you taking me?

    At the rate this winter is going, Hell should freeze over in another week or so.

    Sounds like Oz. You only get snow at altitude, for a couple months if you're lucky.

      Revolving, overlapping, unending, and completely frivolous restraining orders. (Can't you and I work out some kind of truce?)

    Yes, you restrain yourself and I won't need to file the orders.

      I'm shocked!  A woman of your social status, class and age, yet you can't help but throw yourself at me like some lovesick teenager? For shame, I say, for shame!

    I want to comment on my impression of this photo.  This woman looks completely and utterly miserable.  It may be part of the act but look at her.  Neither her stance nor her face shows anything but unhappiness.

    Yesterday I was sick and tired of it, but today the weather was summery with over 12 hours of daylight. Horay!

    I would expect Minesota to have over 12 hours of daylight today too ;-)) This post was edited by JakobA the unAmerican. at April 15, 2018 9:31 PM MDT

    We're between 11 and 12 hours of daylight. The long summer days help to make up for the severe winters.

    A few miles west of the pic above, in California, there is Picacho Peak. This part of the country is famous for goofy looking mountains. The water is an irrigation canal.
