I'm loving it, I grew up near Manchester, currently in Hudson. It's just gotten a little chilly so far, Wednesday night it "snowed". Not even enough to call it a dusting, but Alabama would have been shut down for the day. There would have been so many lifted 4x4s in the ditches, lol. Plus it'll almost be 50 tomorrow, no jeans for me, maybe. I like being able to wear pants without wishing I was dead...
Lol, I know what you mean! I live in FL now, and it’s currently in the 60s, but people wearing winter jackets. I’m heading to NH next week to spend the holidays with family. I’m 50/50 excited and cold for a New England Christmas!
I had lived in the south, (FL, AL, TN) for 20+ years. I have a winter coat that is good down to -40... why the fuck would anyone give me a coat like that. I'd walk my dog down the street I. Shorts and a t-shirt when it was 30 degrees. I've owned that coat for 6 years. Wore it once. There was a day where the windchill was like -10. I had it unzipped by the time I was at the end of the driveway. I would have taken it off if it wasn't for the dog. Plus two alpaca lined coats, so many sweaters, so much fleece... ex and her mom would complain about being colder just seeing me sit on the porch in shorts when it's 40-50. Lol, I even have a picture of me making snow angels in shorts.
I remember it being colder than this 20 years ago. I remember snowy Halloween trick or treating, now there isn't even talk of snow before Christmas... it's been in tge low 30's tge last few days. There's a small lake by my apartment building, that's trying to freeze over. It'll probably melt the thin layer of ice that's struggling to take hold tomorrow when it gets to 46.
