We've had a few big storms but it's New England. It snows. We move on. </p> <p>That said, for me personally it's been better, I guess, because now I'm a SAHM so when the weather is really bad or cold, we stay in. Yes, I get cabin fever, but it beats commuting on public transportation in the bitter cold like last winter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-this-winter-compare-for-you#post-1415834 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 17:12:04 +0000 Purpledaisy 1415834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in California, there is no winter this year! It's hard not to enjoy the nice weather but we are also having a severe drought so.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-this-winter-compare-for-you#post-1415789 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 17:01:04 +0000 mkp17 1415789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Atlanta has been awful! Second round of snow days in the last 2 weeks. Am very ready for Spring </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-this-winter-compare-for-you#post-1415762 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 16:54:53 +0000 mrs. 64 1415762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It has been rough here! Way more snow and way colder temps than we've had in a long time. I'm struggling! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-this-winter-compare-for-you#post-1415519 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 16:08:13 +0000 farawayyama 1415519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is my first year in the midwest. So far pretty brutal. I'm pretty sick on snow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-this-winter-compare-for-you#post-1415168 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 15:08:05 +0000 BeachMama 1415168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well compared to the storms the east coast has gotten, California has been great. But for us, it's really bad because we're facing the worst drought in years. We drove by one of the big lakes in the area (Lake Casitas) last weekend and it was SO LOW. Like, the water doesn't even come up to the dam that's supposed to be blocking it. </p> <p>I honestly can't remember the last time it rained any significant amount. It was a little rainy last week, but supposed to be in the 80s by the end of the week. For those of you in the cold it might seem wonderful, but I feel like we just haven't gotten a break from the hot weather at all this year. Makes me nervous for the fall when "fire season" starts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-this-winter-compare-for-you#post-1415087 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 14:55:08 +0000 cascademom 1415087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's definitely a colder winter here in the Midwest. A couple of years ago, we had a super snowstorm. I don't remember that one being this cold. If anything, the cold is similar to a cold winter I remember back in high school where we had cold days off. </p> <p>My husband is itching to move out of the Midwest. The recent weather isn't helping any. I can't complain about the weather because he'll keep telling me that there are other cities that are warmer year round. Moving out of the Midwest wouldn't be a good idea because we'd be too far away from my parents who help us out with LO for trips, etc. They're our strongest, most stable support system in addition to trusted friends who offer to babysit, etc. I don't like the weather, but have to shut up about it. I can't wait for spring, so I don't hear DH's gripe to move elsewhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-this-winter-compare-for-you#post-1415085 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 14:55:07 +0000 rattles 1415085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's the roughest winter I've had, but for some reason it hasn't been nearly as hard on me as others! I'm tired of it and I'm ready for spring, but I've definitely been less whiny than I was in years past. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-this-winter-compare-for-you#post-1414981 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 14:40:51 +0000 lovehoneybee 1414981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: Hi fellow PAer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-this-winter-compare-for-you#post-1414979 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 14:40:29 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1414979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's been brutal!! We live in snowy Ontario in the "snow belt" right off the lake.. so we usually get a LOT. But this is the most I've ever seen, and people who have been here their whole lives keep telling us "it hasn't been this bad since 1975!" We've got soooooo much snow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-this-winter-compare-for-you#post-1414977 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 14:40:14 +0000 cmomma17 1414977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have lived in the same place (in VA) since 1993 and this is the worst winter ever! Not due to amount of snow, but more frequency of snow/ice and the super low temps. The brutal temps have been the worst part in my opinion! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-this-winter-compare-for-you#post-1414966 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 14:38:29 +0000 lilteacherbee 1414966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wayyyy colder and more winter weather than usual. We had 4 snow days in a row two weeks ago. Today was an early release and tomorrow we're out of school. Winter for us is usually mild and in the 50s...we almost never get snow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-this-winter-compare-for-you#post-1414964 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 14:37:39 +0000 Mamaof2 1414964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We moved to PA 5 years ago and this is by far the snowiest and coldest one yet!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-this-winter-compare-for-you#post-1414962 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 14:37:34 +0000 pui 1414962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two years ago we had hardly any snow at all. Like practically none, which is pretty unusual here. Last year I would have called "normal" for our region. This year we've gotten a lot of snow, but I wouldn't say it's been any colder than normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-this-winter-compare-for-you#post-1414954 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 14:36:28 +0000 artsyfartsy 1414954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Seems typical. We've had a lot of snow but not any huge snow storms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-this-winter-compare-for-you#post-1414953 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 14:36:25 +0000 Bao 1414953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: yep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-this-winter-compare-for-you#post-1414939 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 14:34:44 +0000 mrsjyw 1414939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've lived in MI for almost all my life since grade school and it's one of the worst to date! Record breaking temps AND snow fall.</p> <p>BRUTAL man. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-this-winter-compare-for-you#post-1414937 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 14:34:36 +0000 illumina 1414937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Less snow, more rain...continuous rain! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-this-winter-compare-for-you#post-1414931 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 14:33:55 +0000 lovehoneybee 1414931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've lived in Pennsylvania for over 8 years, and I think this is the worst winter I've had here. Seems like we normally get one, maybe two bigger snow events (and in some recent years, not even bigger, but small amounts). But I think there's been snow on the ground since sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I was just watching a video on weather.com and they said the Philly area has gotten around 4 feet of snow this season, which is around 4x more than average (I live about 1.5 or so hours outside of Philly). </p> <p>Now we're being forecast to get over a foot and blizzard conditions tomorrow night into Thursday afternoon, on top of the 3-4" we got on Sunday, which is on top of the inch or two of ice we got last week, which is on top of more snow....sigh. </p> <p>I'm waiting for the woman I spoke with to set up my interview for Thursday morning to call me back. I don't really want to have to drive in a blizzard to get there...</p> <p>So, how's your winter? Cause I'm so over it this year! </p>
