Too Cold, **** Chicago Suburbs.

[Ares]

I don't think I could live in a warm climate. None of the warm places I've traveled to have people that I could stand for more than a few months. I mean, for **** sake, I read an article yesterday about how "valley girl" dialect was prevalent in something like 60% of men from southern California.

This frightens me.... bitches that talk like that are already far too prevalent.

I have another complaint, the lack of dryers at automatic(the ones w/no attendants like Mobil has down south)car washes in this area and the fact IDOT feels the need to dump chemicals all over the roads.

Cannot keep my car clean, and if drivers really need treated roadways...they shouldn't be driving up here during winter.

And my car barely started this AM...:lol:

Correct me if I am wrong, but do you dislike the roads being salted to keep them from icing over? No one can drive on ice.... it doesn't matter how good a driver someone is, if the road is covered in ice your fucked lol.

Would rather have a dirty car and safe roads than icy roads and a clean car

Truth.

I'm so glad I jumped on my first opportunity to get the **** out of the midwest. I had to put up with FL for a bit but ultimately it led me to CO. Bitter cold is pretty rare here but not unbearable with the sunshine. And the mountains...oh the glorious mountains

I would settle for the blow dryers, nearest one from here is 8 miles south...and it's broken half the time.

From May until October it's so damn humid you don't want to go outside, they have the same problem in reverse.:lol:

Meh. It's not that bad. Don't pretend like it doesn't get hot / humid as balls up there too...it just lasts longer here.

I travel a lot for business and spend a ton of time in San Diego, San Francisco, NYC and Austin, TX.

For me, San Diego is tops. Weather is great. People are great. Food, geography, etc and not too crowded. Only issue is that it's like 10 feet from Mexico so you gotta decide if you are cool with that.

San Francisco is cool but the politics drive me nuts - it's prevalent in EVERYTHING. There are times you just want to turn that shit off. Housing - even in places like the East Bay - is stupid expensive.

Central Coast is amazing - St Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, but you are 2-3 hours from anything.

Austin is the most overrated city on the planet. Yeah, its cool and the food is good and you have insanely hot UT girls, but like San Fran, every asshole walking around looking a hipster bass player for an indie band. And the weather is putrid. You are really trading one extreme for the other. My best friend, who grew up in LaGrange, lives there and basically the kids don't leave the house in the summer - WHEN THEY ARE OFF OF SCHOOL. Think about that. Kids are out of school, but they can't go outside because it's so fucking hot. Trading one extreme for the other. Cool city, but not the be all end all that everyone makes it out to be.

Some cool 'sleeper' cities include Charleston, Savannah, Richmond and even Hunstville.

I actually don't mind the cold quite as much as the snow. I don't really have to be outside all that much so the cold isn't usually that big of a deal. Unless I have to work on my car or something. Then it sucks.

But the snow makes driving miserable because every single year there are people that act like they've never seen the stuff before. I was an entire hour late for work the other day because people were going down the tollway doing half the speed limit. I don't even think we got an inch of snow.

I remember one time going down a country road with a little bit of snow on it and there was a line of about 4 or 5 cars just putting along. I went around all of them in a single shot.

And just like that, another school shooting in Colorado.

Next week it'll be elsewhere in the US. Its becoming numb to the public IMO.

OMG Snow, whyyyyyy? I like hate snow OMG.... srsly **** my life /drama

Lol people around Chicago including my family are bitching about snow like they have never seen it before.... its snow, you shovel it or snow blow.... salt, get an AWD vehicle and then wait for it to melt. Its been this way for a long fucking time.

 

[nvanprooyen]

All I want for Christmas is an automated, touchless self-carwash that functions. They are all out of service permanently when temps stay below freezing.

On the upside, I saw this shit coming well over a month ago and put up the Christmas display early. My neighbors wish they had done the same.

Heading out near you tomorrow...Glen Ellyn.

Hopefully I find an operational car wash somewhere between here and there.
