Anyone else had enough of winter?

[Pro Tour Punditry]

It's not been cold enough for me, but tomorrow is forecast as snow and ice so I'll be riding to work

I love Winter.

It's not so much the cold and wet weather we have to contend with. It's the dark mornings and evenings.

Going to work and coming home in the dark is a downer.

You know it's (so-called) Blue Monday today, right? AKA 'the most depressing day of the year'. Load of cobblers of course, but still...

Come and live in Ayrshire; winter all year round! It rains as much in the "summer" as it does in winter, and temperatures aren't exactly melting the tarmac either. Last two summers have really sickened me with the place; I don't think we strung 2 dry days together all year. So have I had enough of winter? Too bliddy right I have, but the thought of another wet summer doesn't fill me with joy. Maybe there IS something in this "Blue Monday theory?

The reason why I try to take my long annual holiday in the sun in November or February (not to mention being cheaper and there are fewer of those children creatures )

What's winter?

That don`t sound too good buddy. Have you talked to your doctor about it?

Its called life, wife and young kids.Unless they can prescribe 6 numbers on the lotto and a month on a sunny beach i doubt they can do much.

I bloody hate it
But for some strange reason I keep going
But we are on the right side of it and come 4th of feb it will just be light when I leave so that keeps me going

It's the lack of sunshine that gets me. There was a beautiful sunny day last Sunday and since then I think there was a couple of hours of sunshine on Friday & Saturday while I was at work and that's been it.

I didn't feel any blues, an enjoyable leisure run on the bike in the morning and a hilarious visit to a couple of pensioners in the afternoon. Although the mood did dip a little half an hour ago when I looked out the window to see that with darkness had come the snow.

That's hard. Just keep ploughing on.

I was looking forward to riding in to work tomorrow. It's snowed another ten inches on top of the eight or so that was already there. And there's a good bit of wind. I was hoping to ride in shouting 'Howl yee banshee, howl!', and generally cursing through gritted teeth. Seriously, i like that kind of thing. Unfortunately, I don't think I'm going to be able to make it. SHE has been out tonight and I've said she can have a lie-in, and I'd get the kids up, fed and delivered on my own before cycling. However, I'm up this late because she woke me up with a 'I'VE GOT A KEBAB FROM THAT PLACE YOU LIKE.'
