I hate the cold!

I'm so bummed out over the cold temps here. Waking up to 20 degree mornings here is awful compared to the nice Florida weather. This morning I went outside to start up my new truck and pushed the down button for the back door window and it shattered like a bomb. I wasn't aware we had had freezing rain with wind chills in the single digits that had frozen the rubber seal around the window. The windows didn't have any ice on them so it had fooled me. I called to have an auto glass company come to my house tomorrow to repair it right in my driveway. They want $269.00 to come and put in a new window with the factory tint. I'm already making repairs on the damn truck and it isn't even registered in my home state yet.

it has not been much better but its been getting about 45 here in florida its pretty cold down here to...

Ouch. Bummer RocketMan.

Just be thankful you're not here right now. We've been having 30-50 below wind chills the last few days.

Here is what our local paper's website says:

"Windchill warning posted through Friday morning...will feel more like -25 to -50. Frostbite possible on unprotected skin in under 3 minutes."

thank god thats to cold for me... i like to play golf ever day so if its below 40 i stay home...

Calling for another snow storm here tonight! School is already canceled and a flake hasn't even fallen yet!

wow, i don't miss the cold at all. I used to live in Alberta where the high for 2 months is minus 40, that's not taking the wind chill into account...... here on the coast, it gets cold, but not that cold.....

i hope things get better with your truck..... win a poker tourney and the cost is covered!

man i wish it would snow in florida..just once though

I hate the snow!!!

Why?

I have to clean off my car with the brush
People here drive like 10 miles an hour if there is a tiny bit of snow on the roads so it takes forever to get anywhere.
If that weren't bad enough, I have to shovel the snow around my house

Now that I'm out of school, it really sucks to get snow. Doesn't do me a darn bit of good anymore. Just a hassle.

Actually, there is one benefit. In NYC they have these annoying alternate side parking regulations so they can clean the streets. Well, it was canceled today and I would've had to move my car because it was on the wrong side.
Now, I can leave it there tomorrow as well because I'm on the correct side for tomorrow!

Thank god that snow storm missed us today. They even canceled school for it. Not one flake fell here.

I called a national auto glass company today to come to my house and replace the back door window on my truck. They wanted $315.00 + tax and they wanted me to bring it to them because of the cold. I had set up an appointment for tomorrow and when I told my girlfriend the price she called AAA were shes a member. They gave me another auto glass installers number and I called them and the said they would do the job right in my driveway or in my garage for $173.00 total. The only thing is I have to wait until Tuesday for them to come. I'm so happy I have a girl with brains and money sense!

No doubt Rocketman,women do have a way of saving cash and still get the Job done.

geez man, you guys really get hit hard by these storms, hope your repairs come fast and cheap ;)

20 degrees thats it come on thats nothin, got -5 here lmao beat that
