Winter Cometh

For most of my life I lived in the middle of nowhere in northern ontario. Much of last year I was staying at my brother's place, and he lives down a road that barely ever gets plowed. Also his driveway is so huge you can't shovel it by hand, need the quad to plow it. And the only source of heat at his place is a wood stove.
This year will be my first winter in toronto, I'd imagine it won't be nearly as rough as what I'm used to. Still hate winter driving though, fortunately I won't have to do very much except for around christmas when I need to drive 4-5 hours both ways to visit family. Got my snow tires on last week just in case - last winter I would have been stranded on multiple occasions if I didn't have those.
Honestly, I liked winter until the first time I had to drive in snow. Now I hate it. Cold doesn't bother me and I certainly prefer it over summer heat.

It was in the 50s today.
I opened my windows.
And had a fan going.
It's in the 30s now.
Most of the windows are closed, since it's night time. But, the one next to me is still open.
The fan is off, but I'll be turning it on when I go to sleep.
Hooray MN GAF.
never moving to MN

...and that's not even cold yet.
I live in very low income area, one of the coldest in the country, and our electric rates are soon almost going to become double the highest (non-Hawaiian) rates in the entire country, and my apartment is entirely electric heat.
I honestly have no idea how I'm going to afford to live this winter. I'm a bit concerned.

Indeed, weather in New Orleans these last two weeks has been fantastic. Gimme mid 60's all day erry day.
Yeah southern Louisiana has had some ace weather.
You get your four seasons worth here. The variety of weather in this state is huge.

I feel for you socal bros because I know even in December and January you never really get winter. Even here in the dry desert we get a little snow annually. Goes down to 30s.

Yeah this is really my problem with winter, too. If it wasn't six months of winter here and the other half of the year shared between all of the other seasons it would be a lot nicer.

I don't mind winter too much. The extreme cold sucks, but average winter isn't bad and snow looks nice.
I just hate driving in the winter when it's shitty, so I don't go out much. That and shovelling when it's everyday. A couple times a week is fine.
