re: Question for Those Up North

I grew up in Pittsburgh and I'm allergic to cold. Seriously. I get hives when it gets too cold. It was fricking miserable having to climb out from under that electric blanket to go out into -10 degree windchill to wall a mile to the bus stop. That wind cuts right through you, no matter how many layers of clothing you have on. Our driveway was gravel and was on an incline and my dad would be out there at 5am shoveling in negative temperatures so that he could get his car up the driveway to be able to go to work. Scraping the ice off the windows so you can see, icy roads causing you to slide ---- frick that shite. I miss a lot of things about it but the cold is the one thing I don't miss.
