Default Never realized . . .

How much I hate winter up until this year . . I feel absolutely disconnected from my car right now. I can't do anything for more than 5 minutes without freezing my *** off and having to give up.

I was a total fanatic about the cold..I was the idiot that didn't own a jacket, and wore t-shirts all winter...No more.
I'm with ya on the winter...
One thing that has helped were my friends.
They all own Snow mobiles. they really help pass the time. We build fires , hang out, ride some, drink some...It's allot of fun.
But what i found was if you dress for the weather, and do what others in the same climates do...it's not so bad.

Wow they dont make Russian's like they used to huh???

Climate. Owing to its vast size and the fact that most of Russian's territory is far removed from any ocean, the climate throughout the country is extremely continental, with distinct periods of warm and cold weather. The continentality of Russia's climate increases as one travels east, with average temperature differences between the warmest (July) and coldest (January) periods in Eastern Siberia, for example, varying as much as 65 degrees Celsius (117 degrees Fahrenheit). There is, however, much variation in climate based on latitude and physical geography. Temperatures for Moscow and St. Petersburg range from highs of 32 C in the summer to low - 25 C in winter
Nah, I feel you, was out at the Giants game last night and it was brick out there but it was mainly because of the wind. Like ***** said above, if you dress for it, you can nullify almost any weather condition.

Something breaks on my car right now, it's liable to stay broke for quite awhile.

I just got stuck in a parking space that I backed into but couldn't get back out of. It irritated me so much that I threw on my winter wheels but only the rears. Now my car looks funny but I can go anywhere.

Man, what you talking about. Me and Mark (mkorsu) were just outside changing my wheels in the snow yesterday. And it surely wasnt the first time. A little cold weather doesnt slow us down.

Just dress for the weather if you really have to get some things done. I had on about 3 shirts, a hoody and a waterproof jacket.
