Almost out of the worst month of the year. December always gets my vote for worst. Shortest days of the year, and it always seems like we have this foggy gloomy crap for some of it. Think I’ll prefer the blizzard to this.
I think you need to see a psychiatrist
No way, January is the worst. Usually the worst temps of the year and the knowledge that warmer weather is still months away.
3 straight days of dense fog is getting old
Even though I agreed, I think February is the worst. Not because of the worst temps, but because I am freaking sick and tired of it and want it to end, and its not ending in February.
Yeah I don't mind cold temps (as long as there isn't strong wind) but the dreary days get old. Need some sunshine.
December is even further from warmer temps though. I am probably in extreme minority though that prefers January
Positive with February is it’s not completely dark till after 6
Yeah but the "wear and tear" hasn't set in for me in December. And normally we still have several nice days in December. By mid/late February I am fit to be tied; those nice days become pretty sparse.
YMMV of course.
This fog can just **** off. I want to get Christmas stuff down but everything is wet. Unlike someone's mom, I don't want everything wet right now.
February sucks the worst.
The key to dealing with the crappy weather in Iowa, is to leave the state for a vacation or two get away from it. We are currently in Dallas, and next month it will be a cruise for 14 days. Best weather in Iowa during winer is when I am out of Iowa.
The fact I remind myself to stay sane is that the average daily temp starts to rise in February by the end of the month. While it’s just cold and crappy, at least it’s generally the beginning of warming toward spring.
It's March that's the worst for me. You get your hopes up one day only to have them shattered the next. A real roller coaster.
Working W of the cities Sat-Sun, I may stay an extra night road dependant. F*ck this sh*t.
