Thank you. 
And a Happy B-Day to Odinoneeye as well.
November! Spring has sprung! Actually we may even have summer early judging by the last 2 weeks. The child just got back from school camp. The school camp that he didn’t take his raincoat for. And he didn’t need it! Miracles do happen.
On the other hand POOOOOOOO to the hole in the ozone layer. I’m a fairly olive skinned type and I got sun burned reading a book in the garden a few days ago. Me and sunburn are rarely connected…in November? Never.
If any of you Northern hemisphere types wander down this way BRING SUNSCREEN. The sun has got vicious in the last few years. Not hotter but bloody strong.
I’m typing this one-handed because I slipped on the icy street and broke my wrist. :mad:
And no typos. Amazing how humans adapt. 
You could try. I can’t. I have term papers to write, and then exams. Plus, it’s bleeding cold out, and we’ve already had snow this year. I do not want to think about what February will be like.
Chalk me up as really hating November.
The cold in November doesn’t bother me. I’m a northerner. I’ve been through -30 and -40 degree temps with the wind chill and the snot freezing and the bone chilling.
Round these parts, November has just gotten so indecisive. Cold one week, warm the next. 20/40/10/58/snow/rain/hail/fog. It’s just such a damn messy month.
Bring on the steady cold.
But…but…my birthday is in November, so that makes it all better, right?
No.
But January-February are far worse. Nearly 4 decades of NY winters, and I still can’t handle the cold. And to me, a cold day is highs below 40F.
I’m ready for a job that shuts down before Christmas and reopens in April (I am unwilling, however, to take a pay cut for it 
)
Thanks.
De nada. Glad to be of assistance 
Uh, see my above post (where I typed about instead of above) :smack:
This is why us Nort Dakoahtns can handle the cold. It just fuels our entertainment fires to keep us warm. 
Yep. I turn into a big wimp in the cold. I readily admit it.
However, I can handle the NE’s worst summers with aplomb.
Another November birthday chiming in. But that’s not the reason I love autumn in general and November specifically. No, I love November because of Thanksgiving (mmmmm, turkey [drools]…) and because it is the first truly cool month after the scrotal melting heat of a Houston summer. I pit Houston summers, hella hot. :mad:
Oh, and Happy Birthday Elenia28, Odinoneeye, and spooje.
Any 11/11’s out there?
Well, I guess it’s only fair that November be pitted. After all, december was pitted so very many times. I’m sure the other months felt left out.
I lived in Canada for 39 winters, and I freakin’ hate winter. For me, the dread used to set in at the beginning of October, when my birthday is. “It’s almost over, and soon it’s going to get really crappy and stay that way until the end of April.” By November, I was usually despondent. I’m pretty sure I would get SAD. I couldn’t wait for winter to be over. I got hypothermia once, from waiting for a bus that never came, during an ice storm. I must have passed out, and someone rescued me, because I have vague memories of being dropped off at home, and getting out of a car. And I got frostbite when I was a kid. I hate the freezing cold!
BTW, I hope you don’t think I’m bragging or trying to rub your nose in it about my living in Florida (I’ve mentioned it several times in other threads)! That is not my intent at all. I’ve been here for six years, and the novelty of it not snowing in the winter has not worn off. You know, it probably never will. For somebody who hated snow as much as I do, for so long, it has been one of the great pleasures of my life to have wound up in a place where it is highly unlikely I’ll ever see another snowflake for as long as I live. I am living The Canadian Dream[sup]TM[/sup]!
Yeah FUCK YOU November!
We don’t have really cold weather here in November, but we sure do feel your ugly presence November in the form of it getting dark so early in the evening because of the shortening of daylight. Some of your days can be overcast and gloomy which sucks even when it’s warm.
So to you November I give you the big middle finger and say FUCK YOU!
Florida is nice this time of year, but May through September pretty much sucks, unless you like 90 degree days with stifling humidity, followed by hurricane season in late summer. But all in all, I will take it over November through March in Chicago.
My heart bleeds. Here’s my local 10-day forecast:
Partly cloudy
Cloudy
AM showers
Cloudy
Few showers
Few showers
Showers
Showers
Mostly cloudy
Showers
And the PNWers can expect this forecast to apply till, say, the end of May.
(And yeah, I’m originally from the Northeast, so I know what the winters there are like.)
I was just thinking how beautiful it is out there today. It’s not even really cold yet, I just had a long sleeved t-shirt and a sweatshirt on. I’m from a part of California where it doesn’t snow and the novelty of having four distinct seasons has not yet worn off; this will be my third winter in the Midwest. I know by March I’ll be sick of it (opportune time to go visit mom and dad!), but right now I’m still eagerly waiting that first morning where I’ll wake up, look outside, and see everything coated in a layer of snow.
But everyone in the Chicagoland area should be grateful I don’t have a car. I’ve never driven in the snow and am scared to death of trying.
Yeah, basically. I grew up in Florida and absolutely hate the cold. I moved to Austin because Atlanta was too far North for me.
BTW, I’m hating November because we’ve had ass-loads of rain here in central Texas. The river is flooding so we can’t row. And Wed night, the dock that had all the coaching launches chained to it, washed over the dam with all the launches still attached. :eek: So no coaching for while. Plus, bleh, grey skies…
