I am tired of being WOKE

[orangecrush]

Up at 6 a.m. to shovel damn snow every morning!

[Walleye]

1. I'm trying to psych myself to go outside, with the windchills below zero

[orangecrush]

2. My trick

I carry a pocket radio tuned to NPR in my winter coat turned up loud enough to hear while I shovel.

Listen to the morning news and takes my mind off the suck.

[Walleye]

3. I managed to pull on all my clothes and drive out to the store so I'm feeling a little better

[orangecrush]

4. Think warm thoughts!

[Walleye]

5. Texting with my friend who's staying in Florida. She says it's a little bit chilly down there, poor baby.

Soon there will be iguanas falling out of the trees 🦎

6. I'm on a ham radio net every night

And get to hear Floridians whine about 40°

[Walleye]

7. Very good! My father was big into ham radio. I had my novice license when I was about 13. Can't remember Morse code

[orangecrush]

8. Never had to do code here

They eliminated the requirement by the time I teated.

It's good to know, though.

[Walleye]

9. I could probably still send my call sign, if I had to. I didn't know they had eliminated that requirement

[Totally Tunsie]

10. I moved to South Carolina three years ago and have seen snow only once since.

My Massachusetts son just texted me with the message "Well, you wanted snow and you're going to get it". I say BRING IT ON! Once a New Englander, always a New Englander!
