I'm counting on my neighbors to clean that crap up. I mean, why wouldn't they do that for me after I've been trash-talking the ones that aren't going anywhere about our tropical getaway?
Getting Through This Winter
- Thread starter Chizit
- Start date
I was in Sydney this last January. It was 90 degrees when I took off at 9 am. Within a day or two of my arriving home it was below zero. My poor system was sooo confused.
My understanding is that polar vortices will become more common as the Arctic continues to warm. Seems backwards but I guess look forward to more of this.
Regular exercise and being busy has helped a lot.......though now it's starting to get annoying because I want to do a race end of April but I haven't been able to run outside since about Christmas. And the 10 day forecast isn't great.
It could always be worse - I have an office job with a heater which beats being out feeding calves.

I am a fly fisherman and I tie flies. Tying up a dry fly in my tying room makes me feel like it is summer time with rising fish all around, even when it is -20 with wind blowing. That and booze....
Natural gas bill arrived yesterday. Got me curious and checked the last three months and for Dec/Jan/Feb it averaged $133/month. Damn good considering the low temps and me being home all day. Good that gas is cheap right now I guess. Also saved money on car petrol (and hotel and ticket) because every single time I contemplated driving to Ames for a game it snowed. I should probably buy you all beers or something.
Yes, I've heard that one.
I love when people create new terms for things, like The League with "eskimo brothers" and Always Sunny with "browning out."
On the bright side... Once we get thru tomorrow morning. We can kiss the single digits goodbye for the forseeable future in West Des Moines

That's great, but that term has been around a hell of a lot longer than The League.
As a mailman, I held up a white flag over a month ago. Nobody saw it, it was like camouflage in this $4!¥. I have heard the Cardinals singing but I am anxiously awaiting the first Robins arrival!
Relax people. Daylight savings time begins this weekend. The extra hour of daylight will warm things up in a hurry.
There was an article going around saying the polar vortex would kill a bunch of emerald ash borers, but i think an Iowa State entomologist said that was false. With the amount of snow cover all winter, it likely made it easier for bugs to overwinter
