Started great, power steering was stiff and brakes would take a moment longer to release. Supposed to be 48 degrees on Monday so things should thaw out with the 87 degree temp swing lol.

I was contacted for a National Sales Manager job for a manufacturer in OH.
Me: Am I required to live and office out of OH"?
Recruiter: Yes
Me: No thanks, not interested
Recruiter: don't you even want to know what the compensation is?
Me: Nope.

Same with me! I was contacted about a job in Philadelphia and I said "No thanks" without even hearing more about it (as they said must relocate). They pinged me back and asked why. I said I left the cold 9 years ago and wonder now what the heck took me so long! Only call me with Jobs from Raleigh south!

It was FREEZING here this morning!!!! 25 degrees!!! Thankfully it will be 70 next Tuesday....while I'm freezing my ass of on a business trip to........Chicago! brrrr

While there is a very large number that would get me back to a commute and working from a office there is no number that will get me back north unless it includes 9 months of vacation from September through May.

It was only -5 here this morning, but warmed up to +10. Shoveled off the deck chairs and "enjoyed" the warm spell.;)

We had -30 here this morning, a bit south and east of the -39 fellow in Madison. It’s -4 right now, the 1/2” of ice on the INSIDE of my triple pane windows is melting...I have 7 years from tomorrow until I can leave for warmer climates. Nowhere north of Dallas Tx for me!

Please. Everyone keep posting more. Keep reminding me why I moved here. Thanks :)

It's a chilly 63 right now that the evening has cooled it off. 77 tomorrow. I might wear socks and pants, not sure yet.

's funny, those of us who enjoy the weather and the winter sports point out our cold temps in an offhanded way, I'm certain nobody is complaining, but the counter responses are always something that implies most definitely that we're poor saps for not enjoying the "cold" of 60 degree winters. I lived in NC for several years, and we considered retiring there prior to some things we inherited, but I've never longed for the swampy summers and earthquake/hurricane issues that arise. Mebbe somebody think back to these threads when they're about to get pounded by a hurricane, and consider that there's pluses and minuses to living ANYWHERE.

I'll take my handful of bitter temps, because it comes with snow and ice, without which, we wouldn't have ice fishing drinking, snowmobile drinking, snow skiing drinking.... :D

Coming from Rhode Island 3 years ago, these temps in Eastern NC are great

I had 44 years of snow and ice.... that was plenty. Getting to old to come home from work and shovel my driveway
