Tomorrow night the forecast calls for -25 f with a wind chill of -65 f. And to think I have to get up at 5:00 am to go to work. Is it spring yet?

This is why I don't live where there are blizzards. I can't imagine getting up in the wee hours to face the freezing cold to dig out the car to go to a job I really would rather not do... :)

I prefer the cold weather to mudslides, wildfires, earthquakes....etc. Campgrounds are quiet, good hiking, (snoeshoes) ice fishing,

Don't get me wrong. I prefer cold weather. I just don't find cold and blizzards conducive to having to go to work...

Earthquakes are minimal in quantity. You might experience one big one in a lifetime and that doesn't guarantee you'll have any damage, etc.

Wildfires are bad, but still not as common as tornadoes and hurricanes. Once a wildfire has gone through an area, it will be quite a while before it goes through that area again.

Mudslides usually come after a bad wildfire, but again, once it happens it will take a long time to happen again.
