    Another ***** thread. :D

    I tell you what, I've had enough of this cold crap and snow this winter! All week It's been between -15 to -20 below here. We've had snow on the ground since the 1st week of November. We've got about 3 to 4 feet of snow on the ground now. The weather people are saying the temps could get above freezing by the weekend. It's been a LONG time (almost 3 months) since we've had above freezing temps here where I live. It would be so welcomed.

    I know what you mean, man, the low today was 21, which is entirely too cold for my precious skin. Drys out way too quickly.

    But it's supposed to by sunny and in the 60s this weekend, so all will be good. :)

    sounds like you need to exfoliate and moisturize... I suggest a trip to the day spa and get a mani/pedi while you're there... :lol:

    here's some music for ya to listen to on your iPod while you're there...

    It hasn't been too bad here this year, but yeah, over all, winter sucks when it comes to daylight hours and not being able to get out as much as I would like.

    Yeah I've about had enough. The home stretch seems like the longest. I can't wait for green grass and warmth.

    Days are getting longer!

    I just want the snow to go away so I can get to shed hunting. I don't care about the cold as much..

    Schultzy, you can't be too far from me because you just described our winter exactly. On the home stretch now though.

    We finally get to 20 - 30 degrees this weekend but then 15 - 25 mph winds along with it for the next 3 days. A guy just doesn't win !!! I can't remember the last time we had a calm weekend. I don't care how cold it is or how deep the snow is... I just want a weekend of no wind !!!

    Detroit lakes here. I've driven down highway 15 many times when I used to live south of the cities.
