[quote=gibbsisgod;523587]If anybody else burns wood for heat they would say F-wood prices. I waited too long to buy wood this year. I am such a dumbass.

And while we are at it... F ice! We got about 2 inches of snow from this latest storn yesterday and now it has been sleeting for about 10 hours.[/quote]
I wish we had a fireplace. We have a gas furnace, and it's been expensive to say the least to heat the house thus far. If it were up to me, I'd set the damn thing to 68 and wear layers, but no, my wife and 2 daughters need the heat...

And I braved the elements and got into work today...it does help that I work about 2 miles from the house and have an AWD Mountaineer. My neighborhood was much better compared to other roads I saw/encountered today. My daughter's sitter's court looked like a frickin' ice rink.

Nothing is better than a nice warm fire on a cold night or day. We have a wood fireplace in our livingroom and I have a wood stove in MY detached garage which is also my man room. The wood stove will get both floors of my garage very warm wich is 24x28 so it pumps out some heat.

F winter for making me lazy and fat. If it wasn't for winter I would be outside going for walks, riding my bike and shit.

Pretty shitty weather here in DC this morning. The side streets were awful getting out of my neighborhood, but the main roads are fine. The sidewalks are pretty slick, but all in all, downtown Bethesda is pretty normal.

I like snow, and I like cold weather, but F ice.

Re: F... winter
 

It's been really cold here too.
I had to wear gloves this morning.

We'll be paying for it literally and figuratively June- Sept

Re: F... winter
 

I'd rather be too cold than hot. You can only take so much off. I like the cold because when the ground freezes it kills the mosquito eggs. We used to get snow all the time. That was before Al Gore. F all Gore and his global warming. We all take off of work when it snows and inch and get paid for it. He he he

Re: F... winter
 

i cant get out of my driveway yet. Im not about to try to clear it it's like 300ft long and gravel, and I have to climb a hill at the end to get to the road.

I don't mind, though. I went to wegmans the other day (bad ass grocery store btw) and stocked up on stuff to make homemade soup and got some movies and i think im getting sick from taking my girls out and playing in the snow.

Re: F... winter
 

I took the day off I wanted nothing to do with this weather. No sense in taking 2 hours to get to work and 2 hours to get home. Plus if the office decided to close early it would really have been a wasted day.

It's always supply and demand.....in the wrong place. I have about a cord+ dried oak in my front yard. I CANNOT give it away. I will end up having to get the city to come get it and mulch it up.

Re: F... winter
 

I second the F Ice call. Yesterday was our first real snow in NOVA, or at least here in Woodbridge, but I damn well hope it was our last. I say F ice because I when I had to leave for work at 3:40 this morning, my car looked like an ice sculpture. And since it's old as hell, it barely defrosts. What I'm trying to say is I was 15 minutes late for work because it took me half an hour to scrape ice off my windshield and drivers/shotgun side windows.

Re: F... winter
 

Yeah were getting just killed with snow today. It took me an hour and forty minutes to get to work today, and another hour and ten to get home (about a 20 minute commute) ... just terrible. I cannot wait for the summer.
