ghort Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 How bad was the weather for you last year? We had snow and about 0 degree temps.... Made for a long time in the line. Then getting into BestBuy with all those coats and such made it a mess, but we had 5 of us and each picked an era to head to and get the items for everyone.
Gporter34 Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 It's always cold here but that just makes it better. I don't think I could get up that early and stay awake if it were warm, lol.
Rebirth Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 It wasn't bad in 2003 or 2004 in Chicago. It was colder in 2003 than 2004. I remember it snow before Thanksgiving in 2004, it wasn't bad, just light snow.
mrn8 Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 It's always cold here but that just makes it better. I don't think I could get up that early and stay awake if it were warm, lol.Cold in the Dallas, TX area? Really?
Gporter34 Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Yeah, we are in far north Texas, on Oklahoma border and we get really cold winters for Texas. We usually get some snow right around or right after Christmas.
mrn8 Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Yeah, we are in far north Texas, on Oklahoma border and we get really cold winters for Texas. We usually get some snow right around or right after Christmas.I never would have thought it! From up here, TX is thought of as a perennial summer.
ghort Posted October 13, 2005 Author Posted October 13, 2005 I thought the same MRN8. Nice to see another wisconsinite on here.
Gporter34 Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Well, it doesn't get near cold enough for me. I love snow. I think you guys get the real Christmas weather. I am always so glad to get every little bit of snow we can get.
ghort Posted October 13, 2005 Author Posted October 13, 2005 We get more than enough most of the time. I don't mind the snow, I just hate the cold.
Guest DigDoug Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 It was pretty cold last year... I hope it is a bit warmer this year.
biomajor Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Last year was pretty nice here. The year before, it was raining and cooler so that wasn't as much fun. I don't know if my daughter will want to go with me this year. She's a true teen now and sleeps till noon on her days off!!
ghort Posted October 13, 2005 Author Posted October 13, 2005 My wife thinks i'm nutz that the only day of the year I car to shop is a day I'm up at 4 am, sitting outside in the cold in a line.....
starshine Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Last year was cold but my first stop was sears in a nice warm mall so we waited in style.
Booterbunz Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 I had no waiting last year, thankfully! LOL But it wasn't cold, I only wore sweatpants/shirt and was fine. I think it may have rained a bit and was a little windy, but nothing major!
diane175 Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 It was cold here So IL, not much snow last year. I LOVE snow! I wish we got more (then I could play more with my truck LOL ). It is the cold that keeps me awake on BF mornings tho. Without it I would sleep thru it too!
kmbrly Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 I never would have thought it! From up here, TX is thought of as a perennial summer. My flight from St Louis to Florida (by way of DFW) last Christmas was delayed because it was snowing in Dallas.... Didnt think it snowed in DFW, but I guess it does. LOL Gporter34... I have a friend that lives in Paris, TX.

fairydustcrissy Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 It was pretty freakin cold here....around 35 or so if I remember correctly. It was colder than the weather said it was gonna be.....
Gporter34 Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 I don't think it would be the same to me if it were warm. I think the cold just makes it better. But I love the cold weather so I guess it's just a matter of opinion.
kmbrly Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 How cool. I have lived here all of my life, I probably know them. lol It's a small town. He repairs computers. Has his own shop I think. name is Scott.
Gporter34 Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 I guess I don't know him. lol We have four or five computer repair shops and I haven't been to any of them. That snow we got last year was a welcomed suprise. It started snowing on Christmas Eve and kept going until well into the night.
vonnyb Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 It was not very cold, but it was VERY foggy and we live in an area with tons of deer so it was terrible driving .
elena_398 Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 I am glad there has been to ice and snow. I don't drive when its icy.
Tracy72 Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 it is always cold here in KY.....it was raining the yr before last...very hard with the umbrellas..lol
sgtboots Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 Last year it was cold here in PA. Husband gets up with me and gets my truck warmed up for me so it wasn't bad going first thing in my morning. I won't wear a coat in the stores, so coming out and getting that blast of cold air almost kills ya. And I have leather seats in my truck (not heated) so when you sit down you get a jolt!
dealluvr Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 always seems to be raining here on bf.altho when i was growing up in michigan it was almost always snowing around thanksgiving
Rebirth Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 Coldness doesn't stop me. I live for that kind of weather. lol
ghort Posted October 14, 2005 Author Posted October 14, 2005 Wow, soo many people like the cold! Who woulda thunk! I am hoping for around 30degrees or so but will probably be more like 0.....
darkkan Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 We're lucky if it is even slightly cold, here, as Alabama has very mild falls and short winters. I usually hope it is cold enough to wear a sweater!
