Yep, I have cabin fever already, sick of winter and don't look forward to the big melt. We have at least another month and a half of crumby weather then we have to wait for the first green thing to pop up outdoors.
My foot is tapping............

I live in Scotland and although we have not had it as bad as you guys, It just seems to have been a very long hard winter and we all would love to see some sunshine. You feel so much better when the sun is shining, roll on spring

This whole next week is supposed to be warm---40's and possibly even 50's, but it's supposed to rain later on during the week. Since I'm walking around in one of those big old ortho boots I'm not sure which I'll like less, the snow or the rain. I guess I'll just continue to tie shopping bags over it.

Gotta take the good with the bad...the bad makes you appreciate the good even more! We've had a lot more snow this year but really don't think it's been all that much colder. Winter is never fun, beautiful, but not fun.

Today will be the first day in 45 days that we will get above 32 degrees....it has been a very long cold winter here...and I am so ready for some warmer days...by the end of the week we may even get in the 40's...and that will feel so good!

I have been keeping my house at 62 if I am home, and 55 when I am not and at bedtime and my heating bill is still huge...as long as I keep moving, I am warm enough, and if sitting, put on extra layers.

We have had winters that were much colder than this year. Early winter was really cold, but today it is quite pleasant outside. I would also like to not have the high utility bills to pay...

I totally agree...I detest winter so I fuss and fume about it and pray for spring warm weather and flowers blooming and never complain about it being HOT....I save all my complaining about weather for the winters ice snow cold and naked trees....SPRING take me awayyyy

I am the odd man out, I will do my complaining when it is 100 degrees and I can't cool my house...
