It was supposed to be 80°F yesterday. I think it was hotter. All summer and fall I look forward to winter, because I can get some relief from the heat. Now it’s January and it’s hot. Back east people are freezing. Where’s the justice? How 'bout if the easterners get a break from the cold, and we get some of it out here? ---

Today’s morning temperature in Niagara Falls: -9 F. Wind chill between -11 and -15. (And when I woke up this morning and saw that on the news, my first response was to think, "Actually, that wind chill isn’t so bad.) ---

See, if we split the difference it will be about 45°F for each of us. Sounds good to me! ---

We got a dusting of snow on Thursday night, another one yesterday afternoon, and it was 8 degrees when I woke up an hour after sunrise. All we need now is a _history-making Northeast blizzard!!_ ---

Please, help yourself! Windchills in the -20s and -30th. I’d be delighted to share, we’ve got more coldness than we need. And it’d be great if you could send us back some of that warm, sunshiny goodness. ---

No, we don’t want you easterners weather. I live in Idaho, where it is 45 degrees out, and it is nice to be able to walk around my campus in a t-shirt. ---

Well, if you wait until the temperature rises 10 or 20 degrees, I suppose I could ship you a box of rain. ---

Growing up in Los Angeles I never understood the 4 seasons thing I learned about in school. But now that I’ve lived where they had 4 seasons, well… I LOVE 4 seasons! I MISS YOU 4 SEASONS ☹ ---

Weather bug agrees with you **Johnny**. 75 going up to mid 80s is just WRONG in January. I think I’ll stay in today. I’m sooooooooooo depressed. ---

OK, I just tried huffing and puffing in what I think is a westerly direction, but the only noticeable result for me was a dizzy headache. Did it help? ---

**Johnny** , I never dreamed I’d say this to you, especially after **Scotticher** and I fought over you, but I hate you. You and **Scout1222**. I watched the Super Bowl yesterday and saw gorgeous sunshine as snow continued to fall here. This morning, it was -3 Farenheit and when I went out to run errands at 1:30 this afternoon, my fingers went numb despite my gloves. I have friends who claim to be weather witches, friends in Maine. They’ve been a bit busy of late, but arrangements can be made! I think it’s against my ethics, but there’s a chance I could be persuaded otherwise. On second thought, scratch that. I just pictured the Rule of 3 applied to my weather, and I’d kind of like to get above freezing before July. You will pay for this in the end, though. For now, just picture me sticking a hatfull of snow down your back! CJ ---

:: mwah :: Love ya, **cj**! I live about 5 miles away from where the Superbowl was played yesterday. I knew, when I saw the weather, that those who were suffering from the cold snap that’s pretty much everywhere but here, would be yearning to be out west. ---

I love this weather. Yesterday we were grilling ribs and chicken on the roof, watching the Super Bowl…shirt sleeves…it was tremendous. Saturday at the beach it was gorgeous. Ad beleive me, I grew up in Wisconsin, so I know what winter is really like. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dear-easterners-please-send-weather/151224.md?page=2)
