    Default 100 degrees or 2 feet of snow!

    My sister saw this on a sign at a Western Wear store:
    What would you rather have, 100 degrees or 2 feet of snow?

    Me personally I would rather have 2 feet of snow. I do not like the heat. When it is cold out my home is warmed by our wood stove. I love to cook extra meals to freeze and to bake. Shoveling snow does not bother me, the bugs do not bite. I enjoy my home so I work on indoor projects, crafts or read.

    Which would you prefer and why?

    Give me 100 degrees any day. I hate the white stuff, especially when I have to shovel it.

    huh? If I don't have to be out in the snow 24/7 I love it. Even shoveling it. WE have been very close to 100 degrees lately w/ no air and I am getting sick from it

    I have a simple rule: No matter how cold it is, I can layer more and be fine.

    If it's hot, there's a limit, and not being in great shape, that limit isn't even that cool.

    Dad moved here when I was 17 and I never left. Now I'm too old and set in my ways to move.

    Oh, and my wife is here. I almost forgot.

    Eww! Both choices are bad! lol I guess I would take the snow if I had to. I would rather be inside bundled up than the 100º.

    heat -
    cold makes my fibro hurt more- layers dont make a difference in the pain .
    cant get to work in bad snow =loss of money - i can still go out in heat - can can check in on my patients in heat - i cant in cold -
    less likely to loose power or have a treem limb come crashing down in my house from the heat as i could from the snow.

    Two feet of snow isn't that much. Bring it on!

    Oh My, SNOW! SNOW! SNOW! I love the quietness of the snowfall, when everyone has decided to stay off the roads and the snow blankets everything undisturbed. I love how the moonlight glistens off the newly laid snow. I love the family unity when we all are "stuck" at home and there's nothing to do but shovel = snowball fights, make forts, snow angels, catching a snowflake on your tongue. I love the heating of towels to warm frozen noses & homemade hot chocolate simmering on the stove. I used to love to watch our Suki Girl bound across the snow drifts burying her snout in deep and popping up with delight.

    YES! Let it SNOW!!!!!

    I'll take the snow for sure...like inkstain said, I can add layers if it's cold...When it's hot and I take enough layers off, I get thrown in jail.

    Polly. your right.During the winter no one is out the roads are so quiet. Not many kids screaming outside, unless its a snowball fight.Living out of the city and in a small town of 1500 its very nice in the winter.

    I'll take the snow. The cold aggravates my fibro too, but the heat makes me light headed and I'm likely to faint. I've never been good with dealing with heat. I might move slower in the cold, but at least I'm moving.
