It used to be a dry cold, anyway. Now with the changes, we get more precipitation in both winter and summer, more moderate summers, and warmer winters, too.
All of the redneck nonsense of some of our isolated coastal areas, as well, but without the good sea food.
Maybe we should've stayed on the coast. At least there I had access to fresh halibut, clams, shrimp, and salmon, among other goodies, more or less right out the door.
Hmm.
That 50 ft. of snow in Valdez in '89, though? They can keep that shit!!

calling for it to get cold now, all the way down into the 50s, dang! i'll have to wear a t-shirt and socks... 
Socks are much too hot for 50°F...you'll be ripping them off in the middle of the night to stay cool. Hey my DNA test said I had relatives in your area that settled there long time ago...calling for it to get cold now, all the way down into the 50s, dang! i'll have to wear a t-shirt and socks...

My feet feel strangled if I wear socks to bed. The socks grab the sheets and blankets via friction from my wool socks and the sheets (especially flannel sheets), and what's worse, the socks typically spread dog hair onto the bed, under the blankies. Yuck!! Literally can't sleep with them on if I'm under sheets and blankets
i've been wondering why i had trouble getting between the sheets and shit. i thought it was the numbness in my feet masking that i was tangled! friction, static, and science at the root of the problem after all, lol...thanks!

60F and tornado watches for Downstate Illinois. Got another 1/2 inch of rain to add to the swollen river.

-30 f. on the front porch mercury and glass.
Still have the poly barrels on the trailer, now full of #1 heating oil, ready to be off-loaded into the driveway and hauled by snowmobile/freight sled up to the barn; waiting for a warmer day to transfer into the main tank.
Need to park the trailer mid-day today after off-loading drums, and head into town to get about 51-gallons of premium gasoline in 5-gallon jugs (and 1-gallon into a 2.5-gallon jug for the ice augers and chainsaws), for the trip to the bush, for which 45-gallons in 5's and the (1) 2-1/2-gallon jug will go along with us.
Having fun still requires too much work, and my body hurts.
More snow on the way, but not before another near-30-below f. period for temperatures tonight/tomrrow.
Bleh!!

Our 1" of rain for Friday has now gone 3" of snow with warnings of 5-8" heavy snow. We will be right around freezing so it's just a good guess.
