snugtop Posted February 8, 2006 Author Posted February 8, 2006 This winter has been great. ST are you still on the injured list? I can get out but still can't ski. (Not that I ever really could ski to begin with) Quote
DirtyHarry Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Not doing any winter activities is brutal. It would sure suck to be you. I'd move. Quote
crazy_t Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 I'm really, really feeling it this week too. City + grey, + rain, + lack of outdoor adventure, kind of a downhill spiral for me. I know other people are fine with it, but it's hard. I used to go to SA a couple of times per winter but with a 1 year old that's over for now. Buy a ticket to San Diego for a weekend, gives you something to look forward to and the sun and temps will help. Superfoods too to keep immunity, energy etc. up. Good luck ), you'll get through it. For me it's a question of do I want to endure this every year? Making a long-term plan might be part of this year's solution. Quote
John Frieh Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 My work is trying to send me to Phoenix followed by Malaysia I need to quit my job again Quote
EWolfe Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 This has been the worst new year of my life. Quote
griz Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 I'd move. Yeah, i'd second that. I tried the PNW thing from '00 to '02 and I was "off keel" after that first winter ,for sure. My bro has lived up there for ten years and he loves the weather and has no effect on him. Hits some and misses others. Within a week of moving back to CO, the winter blues were gone and have never returned. Cured by sunshine. If you are one of those hit hard by it then you should really think about living elsewhere... in the sun. Quote
Dru Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 You may have sun, but you have to live in Colorado. You still come off worse. Quote
DirtyHarry Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Maybe you just have a case of the Mondays! You're probably not wearing enough flair either. Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 You're probably not wearing enough flair either. Proper amount of Flair: Quote

Perhaps if I had a job where I wasn't in an office 5 days a week it'd be different, but that's not current reality. Quote
marylou Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 It certainly has been a rough winter for the seasonally affected. Spring will be here soon though. Quote

snugtop Posted February 9, 2006 Author Posted February 9, 2006 Today was awesome. Too bad the sun goes down by 5. I cheered myself up by painting the house. Well, my BF actually did most of the painting, but I picked the colors. Quote
willstrickland Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Stoked up here Days are up to 7hr 45m, highs above zero, and saw the sun for an hour today. Two more months and rivers breakup. Quote
mattp Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Yeah, but what do you guys drink up there? Had any good single malt lately or is it just some aboriginal brew for Mr. Strickland? Quote
willstrickland Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Oh, yah. Drinkin' cheap Aussie and Chilean reds this week, the xmas gift Glenlivet was finished off last week. Yellow Tail shiraz right now. Quote
mattp Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 It took you a month to drink the single malt? No wonder you are suffering SAD. Quote
snugtop Posted February 9, 2006 Author Posted February 9, 2006 My prayers were answered--just as I thought, God reads Spray! It's f*ing amazing out. Driving over the 520 bridge today I almost got in an accident, I ws just gaping at the mountains. Quote
AlpineK Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 I'd move. Yeah, i'd second that. I tried the PNW thing from '00 to '02 and I was "off keel" after that first winter ,for sure.

pale Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 Pale? Pale? Got anything to say ? No. I'm too busy beating the hell out of Chuck Norris. And Olyclimber keeps calling, muttering something about push-ups. Quote
