Reality Check by Dave Whamond for December 16, 2024

Good question. I did once, then I moved back. I’m no dummy.

Why do people live where it’s 30 below?

Snowbody knows.

Sounds like a mild winter’s day in the UP.

I applied for a job in Minneapolis. I needed a job, sent a resume. The manager that interviewed me there closed her door and point blank asked me “Why the h&ll would you want to move to Minneapolis? In the winter we don’t use our parking brake because it will freeze up and we can’t drive.”

Before she got back with an offer I got a job on the west coast.

On the other hand, people move to Phoenix. “Why do I live here” indeed!

Well it was 41.7 degrees (107f) here today, still over 39 at 7pm. Hope the cool change comes through soon.

Recently visited Mt Wellington (Tasmania). Temperature was 7 degrees celsius (windshield factor 2 degrees). Light rain & snow with a fierce wind.

So much for global warmeeng eh.

Some like it cold.

I would rather be cold than hot

I prefer the cold. You can always add layers of clothing, but there’s only so much one can take off before you get arrested. Poor Ralph must be freezing.

The only thing I can add to this is a B and a bunch of R’s!

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!

Must be Green Bay. Only place I know that heats there football field.

Welcome to Canada.

brrrr…

I remember Grand Forks Air Force Base. He must live in base housing.

There’s a song about it: You Tube: watch?v=ilSgXcEMHmI

A good cold winter sends termites and cockroaches toward the equator.

Because Dave lives in Calgary.

I love winter, my second favorite season to fall (pre-winter). It must be my Scandinavian genes. Swedes say Det finns inget dåligt väder, bara dåliga kläder. There’s no bad weather just bad clothes.

I’m still in the northeast due to family obligations. Would have moved south years ago otherwise.

Because you get two months a year with relatively nice weather and no bugs.

Cow-Hampshire: Live freeze and Die.

Layer Layer, pants on fayer …!

( the truth shall set you freeze )

Yup. I go through it every year.

Since he moved north, things have gone south.

Nice Dave! We in upstate NY can relate!

Better than shoveling whale sh it after hurricanes come into our Golf and Atlantic coasts.

My dream residences would be a place in the Himalaya mountain range, somewhere slightly below the tree line, and another place closer to sea level. Instead of migrating thousands of miles every year, it would be a short trip up/down the mountain to avoid temperature extremes.

ROFLMAO

FZ sage advice: ♪ “Watch out where the huskies go, and don’t you eat that yellow snow” ♪

Why do I live here? Well, let’s see: I don’t rock climb sheer faces, zip-line over amoeba-infested waters, sky-dive, bungee-jump, play poker with the pros, or join mercenary forces. So I guess I just need a challenge. Got it.

He’ll remember why he lives there next summer when the weather is delightful instead of intolerably hot and humid. When it’s cold you can always put on more clothes, but when it’s hot there’s a limit to how much you can take off.

Because there’s no hurricanes or tornado’s

Oh boo hoo, it’s winter enjoy it while it lasts. ;-)
