Bitch away! I'm from the milder weather on the east - Tons of snow for a month and a perfect 17⁰C every other day.

Damn. But isn't skating super fun? I bought cross country skis and binoculars last year to help me enjoy the cold and dark.

I should look into that. The problem is the pipes run through a wall, I call it "The Wall," because it's ice all the fucking time. I can't figure out exactly where it's freezing, and it runs behind built in cabinets. The super special heater was put in because of burst pipes, so I guess it stopped that.

At least, this year, I haven't woken up to indoor winter with the basement heater screaming bloody murder through the house, and had to shuffle outside at Stupid AM to knock the ice off the intake... yet.
