It suddenly dawned on me tonight as I was patting on my facial moisturizer, that I finally understand why they call it defrost on your car. Defrost as in melting all that ice off your windshield when you're dumb enough to spray windshield wiper fluid on in hopes of melting the ice but you end up adding to to the problem.
Too bad my defrost isn't working right now. It's my car's way of protesting this weather. Seriously, no car or human should have to put up with these conditions. I continually ask people here why they continue to live here and no one can give me a good answer, even after years and years of this. If you're still hating the weather 1/2 of the year after a DECADE, you should MOVE, people.
Move to L.A., where, according to my dear friends, it's a chilly 68 degrees.

It's 38 degrees here at night.
it's been pretty cold here. though, not as cold as you guys. You should buy one of those subzero sleeping bags. better yet, find a company that makes subzero jackets.
maybe at your house, chuckie, because it's in boonie land!!
Pauline, winter is hardly even begun. If you're sick of the snow already, just wait until late January / early February, and we'll see what you have to say then. :) You'll make it through, girl! You might even like it (maybe). I think we survive cause we don't have to worry about things like digging out our car or driving in the snow. :)
Amen... That's what I've been saying for years.
NOO!!! we need to tell east coasters that the west coast is horrible! that way they will move to the mid-west like ohio or kansas... if everyone on the east coast moves west, traffic will only get worse by the time we move back to so cal!
Actually wiper fluid is supposed to help melt the ice and snow on your windshield... Unless of course you are using "plain water" as your wiper fluid (as many S. Cal. drivers do).
Maybe it's also because I have a crack in my window.
I was so happy to throw my windshield ice scraper away when I moved back to CA.
You're so right P! Amen! It's freakin' cold in Michigan
i agree, resa. but it's all right.
as for mountie, you crack me up, dude.
and the wiper fluid does freeze after a certain temperature. not sure about the freezing point of wiper fluid, but boston easily hits that point.
You know, I used to bitch about the New England weather, and native NE'ers used to say "you're weak sauce. Suck it up. Quit being a little bitch." And I, with my chronically severe SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder... Google it!!), would look them straight in the eye and say, "Yeah? Well you're stupid or crazy for living in this crap."
Now I'm working my ass off so that in 5 years or less I'll be living happily in Hawai'i. Even LA is too damn cold for me... I've had enough of heaters, jackets, and SOCKS for a lifetime.
