It's just a truck, it's replaceable. I'll drive in a lot of things but ice is not one of them. That is under my list of never, ever. Which is why I love Utah so much, we don't get ice. Just snow.

 

You can keep your beach.  :P It has been in the 20s with sun, which is perfect winter weather. Everything is white and it truly feels Christmasy. I absolutely love it. It couldn't be a more ideal December here.

Yes!! So happy he was ok!! He drives an hr. to work! And when the weather is nasty!! Well stuff happens sometimes!! I was just happy he was OK :) Thanks :) but this morning it was 12 outside! Plus we had a wind chill factor which took it to 0 F. That my friend is cold!!

I feel guilty, although it's only 17 degrees (not factoring in wind chill) we haven't been hit with much snow in RI yet. Of course I could wake up to a winter wonderland if the forecast is right. I hope all of you are warm, safe, dry, with power (& loved ones).

We got a little more snow yesterday. Just a dusting really, there wasn't even an inch to clean off my Jeep this morning. I think we'll have a white Christmas here!  :D  :D  :D

It came down so hard here yesterday, I would shovel and within a half hour it didn't look like it had been shoveled at all. Got about six or seven inches. It's a regular winter #*%*#&*% wonderland. :angry:

You crack me up. It's supposed to be a winter wonderland this close to Christmas! Can't you feel the magic and wonder?  :P

Same here. We have had so many blizzards and snow on the ground for 49 long days already. Temps around -25C for our highs (about -35 with windchill) and lows in the -30s (windchill -49 to -47). Winter wonderland my butt.

MORE SNOW!!! Any weird noises you have heard today are me squealing like a little girl at how exciting it is to know we are for sure having a white Christmas! No worries though, I'll be complaining by mid-January for it to end. I only like snow for Christmas and my birthday.

 

When it snows
Ain't it thrilling
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play the Eskimo way
Walking in a winter wonderland

bah!

 

81 today and I am feeling festive nonetheless.!! Christmas is not about snow.

 

...yeah, I have had my share of snow in this lifetime and even though it is lovely

on Christmas Eve, (I agree!!) the thought of it burying me for 6 months and making me cold and stiff....makes me say "no thanks!

 

Not missing it one bit..... and all the videos people send me from NY, PA and CT....just makes me say...sorry, guys. 

In a month or so, you'll be on a plane coming to see me.

No, Christmas is not about snow but for me I simply can't imagine living in a place where white Christmases don't happen. I'll survive our winter without running away to FL just like I do every year. I've said it before, but frankly what we get is so mild compared to what I grew up with that it's practically paradise here in the winters to me.

Someone please rescue this woman. If -21 is her idea of warming up I'm not sure she's going to survive until spring, clearly she's suffering from some sort of winter malady that impairs her thinking! :P

I know hon, but..... many times in NY and MA, there was no snow on the ground for Christmas either, so I'd rather be warm than cold is all I meant.

 

I create snow in my head and I watch White Christmas on TV. 

 

My imagination runs wild....

 It's all relative. She's happy that it's warm (er)...we should let her have it !  :D

Fine, she can have it. But it makes me cold just thinking about it!

 

Also, on the years we don't have a white Christmas here it is always above freezing which in late December feels warm. Warm enough for long sleeves and no coat, and a few years it was t-shirt weather. There's no complaining about the cold here for Christmas when there isn't snow on the ground. That northeast weather nonsense is for the birds, I'm totally with you there!

I'm another that likes winter, I just don't like how LONG it lasts. We usually get our first snow in September and it's pretty chilly by October. The cld comes and goes at that point but every other Halloween is trick or treating in the snow. Even if it was just November through February of winter I would be happy but the snow in April is annoying.  LOL

 

In Calgary we joke that winter lasts 6 months, but it's more reality than a joke.  We can have snow up to 9 months of the year. We've already had snow on and off for 3 months.

 

Snow at this time is great though. The kids are having a blast in it and we have a sleigh ride in the mountains planned in a few days!  :D

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
