**** seasons, give me Florida weather and I'm happy.
To each their own. Florida seasons of:
****ing hot+some hurricanes
****ing hot+more hurricanes
slightly less hot
****ing hot
isn’t all that appealing to me. Sweating sucks. Love to visit, though.

Then you have Colorado where you can shovel snow in a t-shirt
Meh... Winter/snow is so beautiful on TV...
Im kind of tired of living in it... For reference sake, this is what my driveway looks like this morning....
The older I get, the less Im tolerant to temperature extremes it seems, as I now pretty much hate middle of summer just as much as I hate the -20 days of winter...

I’m in Michigan, and right now it’s 24 degrees with a wind chill making it feel like single digits. You get sick of snow when it starts to dictate your ability to leave the house for anything other than essential reasons. It gets even worse in places like Minnesota where othing is blocking the continental winds coming down from the tundra. Vikings fans know this so I’m not sure what they’re getting all salty about.
First of all, speaking from first hand experience . . there's pros/cons to almost everyplace you live. MN (my current state) is no different. But as far as the issue with what Cousins said . . . . I think its more about most of the fans up here not being thrilled with paying all the money to him to get to the next level and fail. While not all their troubles were on Cousin, he did fold an awful lot against really good teams. Play calling didn't help, but Kirk played scared against any team that put pressure on him. They are going to really regret that deal sooner vs. later (like we did with Suh).
Lived there, lived in Miami, and lived where I currently am, which is the Poconos. This ******* mountain is gonna be the end of me. I thought I knew what cold was when I moved from Miami to Jersey. I was wrong. See, the NICE thing about most of Jersey and the coastal areas is that while you DO get storms, and a hell of a lot of snow sometimes, it warms up enough so that the snow melts pretty quickly on more temperate days during the season. Not up here.
Things that will NEVER HAPPEN in South Florida that people in areas like the upper Midwest, Buffalo, and my freaking mountain have to deal with:
- Your beer won’t freeze solid while you’re trying to drink it around a bonfire. That's a bit frustrating when that happens.
- You won’t get permafrost for weeks or months at a time. My front yard has been visible for two days this month. Two.
- You won't get ice storms. Just trust me that ice storms suck.
- Oh, did I mention that there’s nothing green up here from November until April other than pine trees? Everything is gray and brown and covered with road grime and salt. It gets a little bit depressing.
- Fun fact: When all the leaves come off the trees up in the mountains? Wind rips through here at, like, Mach 2. The wind chill up here hit -37 a couple weeks ago. I let the dog outside for about three minutes, then went outside to call him in...inhaled...and it hurt my lungs. If someone tells you they love the seasons when that sort of **** happens? You're legally allowed to stab them in the neck with an icicle.
- You can't go outside for more than 15 minutes or so at a time without being miserable. Now, I know what you're going to say. "But Goat, it's AWFUL here in July and August. You can't go outside here either!" Bull****. I've lived there, and I get sunburned just LOOKING AT PICTURES of the Sun. I just didn't run around in swimwear from 11 am to 4 pm without Sunscreen. Or...look at it another way. The average low temperature in Miami in July and August is 80 degrees. Is that perfect? No. But you can at least go outside and be social, and move around. Here? The average high temperature in January is below freezing. This month? It's 34. That's not the average temperature. That's the average HIGH temperature. Our outdoor social activities usually revolve around garages and wood stoves, and trying to not fall on your ass when you have to walk more than 25 feet, because everything is ******* COVERED IN ICE. You think people in Florida are bat**** crazy? Get a bunch of mildly drunk guys who have cabin fever, give them bourbon, a Japanese 4x4 mini truck, a couple snowmobiles and inner tubes when everything is frozen over. You haven't seen a damn thing...mostly because nobody can work their cell phone cameras with ski gloves on.
- So you're stuck inside. And guess who's stuck inside with you? That's right...your kids...if you have kids. Because SNOW DAYS. And after the third snow day in a week, your kids are screaming at each other at the top of their lungs about something stupid on a video game while you're on a client call in your office at 4:30. And you don't want your neighbors to end up on the news saying things like "He always seemed like a super nice guy, nobody ever thought he would snap like that...I've never even HEARD of someone doing that with a snowblower." So you have to go outside, take a deep breath, hope your lungs don't freeze, and have a beer. But then your beer freezes again, so you say, "**** this, I'm switching to whiskey! And then you're drinking whiskey at 5:00 on a Wednesday, and you think, "Oh, so this is why everyone drinks so much in Wisconsin!"
- New Yorkers don't vis...oh, never mind. You guys get that, too.
Oh...and there's about a coin-flip chance that my kids will have another snow day tomorrow. Send whiskey.

2 feet of snow here...-20 with the wind chill.
Wind blows like a mother******, you drive in the ditch. Not a good time.
