Frost World Problems

Everyone loves to complain about the weather but nobody does anything about it… and that includes me.

Since no one will act on my cold-weather complaints, I’ll just lay ‘em out here. It’s cathartic, or maybe in this case it should be “catharctic”… see what I did there? Groan all you want, I’ll have my revenge for all the times I’ve read/heard “artic” and “antartic”, and I get to enjoy some small amusement in the process.

I’d also like to share my gripes with fellow northerners who might read what I’ve written and nod sagely to themselves, and with southerners who will likely roll their eyes and wonder why - or even how - human beings willingly live on an earthly version of the planet Pluto. Yeah, Pluto’s a planet so chill out!

Thanks to John Chuckman for posting this photo of a very chilly Caddy circa 1982 at his Chuckman’s Chicago Nostalgia website. The Windy City knows winter well… one might say it’s The Standard of the World when it comes to wintery weather.
