Top 10 Reasons Why Cold Weather Sucks!
10. Immediately upon walking outside, your eyes well with tears which then freeze to your eyelashes and freeze your eyeballs (true story - one woman actually had to go to emerg to un-freeze her eyes!)
9. You pay to attend hot yoga classes because it's the only way to get warmed up
8. You get your coffee at the nearest Second Cup but by the time you walk the one block home, it's cold
7. Snowplows don't come out in the day so the roads are a disaster from morning to night
6. The snowplows then decide to clear the snow overnight meaning loud scraping noises throughout the night = no sleep
5. You not only have to wear your ugly boots, but you also need to wear your wool socks, long underwear, pants, snowpants, tshirt, long-sleeved shirt, sweater, vest, coat, hat, mitts, scarf, and dickie in order to even walk the dog - try going to the bathroom quickly in all that gear
4. In order to start your car at the end of the workday you have to let it run for a good 10 minutes when gas prices are at a ridiculous $1.15/litre!
3. Your hands, legs, and lips are so dry that no matter how much cream you rub on them, they still feel like a donkey's rear end and co-workers bring you lip balm and lotion - yup, they noticed how bad it was...
2. The windows in your condo are not insulted well and condensation forms making it colder inside... in addition, the window will not open because it is frozen shut and my arms, while well-toned, are not muscular enough to have the strength to move it
1. Your parents leave for Florida at the peak of cold season, leaving you with no one to whine to about the cold weather :)

On the Bright Side...
No one likes a big complainer so here are some good points about the cold weather:
- You no longer need to put your lunchpail in the fridge at work - the uninsulated window in your office makes for a great fridge!
- The dog doesn't like the cold weather either so walks can be 10 minutes long and he's good to go
- A cold weather alert is issued giving you every excuse in the world to stay home all day in your pajama pants on the weekend
- You always have a "small talk" topic: "Can you believe these temperatures?..."
- It's easy to get hugs from people simply using the plea that you're cold and it will warm you up (trust me it works)
Just remember, it could be worse - we could live in Iqaluit!
