Congratulations, Utah: I found something I hate more than the Jazz

PrintI've been minding my own business this week. Trying not to think about how/why the Rockets all of a sudden find themselves in a 3-game tailspin (hint: stop shooting contested 3s and make your FTs. Oh, and give the ball to Luis Scola more.). Then all of a sudden, I got some of the worst news I have had in ages...
What... the... hell?
I moved back to Houston so I never have to deal with this kind of weather.
Upwards of 41 hours where I have to survive sub-freezing temperatures. And that's not even factoring the wind chill. Nooooooo!! I freakin' HATE cold weather. In fact, to put this in perspective, I hate cold weather even more than I hate the Utah Jazz. And I really, really hate the Utah Jazz.
So, yeah, I'm going into hibernation until this passes. It's too freakin' cold outside. I blame this on Trevor Ariza's free throw shooting. Which may be the only thing colder than the temperature in Houston for the next few days.

You have completely set yourself to be bashed by everyone who lives north of you

Yankees is such a demeaning term
I would not like to be associated with any sort of evil empire….many people from the North hate the Yankees, especially those in Boston, and here in Michigan

Bitch when it’s 90 degrees. Which is perfect weather. So their opinion matters not.
90 Degrees
With no humidity. Throw in our humidity and they’d think they were melting.
We hate the cold weather because we’re used to it being so warm.
Plus
You just can’t do anything at all.
You can’t go outside and throw the football.
You can’t go outside for a jog.
I’m already feeling trapped knowing that it’s going to be worse later.

what are you talking about?
I go out running all the time during the summer.
I used to play basketball all day during the summer on the concrete courts. It’s a good workout. Builds character!
I was talking about the cold.
I’m all for the summer/heat.

ZOMG BELOW 32 NO WAI
Man, I can’t believe I thought like that growing up. I don’t even know how cold it is here, but I’d love to see 32 degrees right now.

Born and raised in Houston
and oddly I love cold weather. I did go to Indiana University for 2 years so that might have helped but other than that Ive always lived in Texas.
Good news Dave, its 6:21 and its not freezing yet. Looks like that weather forecast was wrong…thats a surprise.

To all Houston sports fans, Houston is the 4th biggest city in America, there will be traffic on the way to your respective sports game. Come Early, Be Loud, Stay Late.
I wish where I live it was considered “freezing cold” at 32 degrees…
… but here in NY State, there are plenty of days where 32 degrees is considered “warm”.
You people in the Deep South need to quit complaining. So it’s a little cold. Big deal. Try shoveling a foot or two of snow every few days. If you did that on a regular basis, you’d be glad to have to only put up with temperatures in the 30s…
I had to stop arguing with drunks, Steeler fans, and all other fools.
It was making my brick wall jealous...

Well, then maybe you shouldn’t live in a godforsaken wasteland.
That’s may be true but…
…you don’t see me posting a big story on here pissing & moaning about it.
If you guys are too soft to deal with thirty degree temperatures, move to Hawaii.
Otherwise, quit crying. Sounds to me like you guys wouldn’t last a week living up here…

Probably not, but that’s not an issue, because we have the good sense not to try. Don’t live in a miserable place and then complain that no one else will be miserable with you.
Who the hell’s complaining?
I was merely pointing out that it is silly for you guys to whine about a little cold weather when most of the time it is nice and warm.
Basically, count your blessings because things could be worse.
“Good sense”?
lol!
At least I have the good sense not to live where there are rattlesnakes and scorpions or tornadoes and hurricanes.
If you want to complain about those things, be my guest. Why anyone would put up with that stuff is beyond me so whine about dealing with them things and nobody will say a thing.
But to cry about a little cold weather? Come on.
If you can handle dealing with snakes, scorpions, tornadoes, and hurricanes, a little cool weather should be nothing for crying out loud…

I haven't seen so many snakes or scorpions (more of a Hill Country/West Texas thing) around
What I think most people are pissed about is that this is the “nice” season in Houston. It’s generally about 55-75 and sunny over a lot of the winter. I look forward to the winter as a great time to get outside and enjoy the outdoors. I do most of my golfing here over the so-called fall and winter. So while 30 isn’t cold by New York standards, it would be like you guys having an mid May day at 103 – you’d feel cheated.
I’ve lived in cold climates for several years, and the cold really doesn’t bother me much at all. I don’t like shoveling snow, days that get dark at 4pm, and endless gray skies, but cold, meh.
Unlike Dave, I really don’t like being outside at 100 degrees and 95% humidity. I’ve done my share of “Two-A-Days” in it, my character is formed enough. I flee Houston in the summer every chance I get. Though I must say, coming back from traveling, the blast of heat and humidity on the jetway feels like home.
Yeah
It’s way too tropical in Houston for scorpions and rattlesnakes to be abundant.

as an Eagle Scout growing up in Houston, I have camped all around Texas and there are copperheads (still leathal) in the Humble area. I also worked at a park up there and have seen them. But as for scorpions and rattlesnakes, they start showing up about 50 miles or so outside the city limits. So not too close but not too far away either.
Miss-placed Houstonian living and going to school in the wilderness of Wyoming. Fresno St. 28 - Wyoming 35 (2 OT)!!! Hands down best game I have ever been to.
and...
This is why I find camping to be something less than pleasureable.
We invented air conditioning. It’s like evolution. ;-)

i love houston
But I also love the cold. This weather really is not that bad, I actually wouldn’t mind playing basketball in it but none of my friends want to. Plus for those of you complaining about the weather and lack of outdoor activities, just go to a gym, especially if you’re in college because its free
