I keep both Indianapolis and Chapel Hill as locations on the dashboard of The Weather Channel app on my phone, precisely so I can look at readings like these and cackle loudly to myself:
Chapel Hill: Sunny, 47 degrees
Indianapolis: Light Snow, 23 degrees
Yes, July was so hot my air conditioner couldn’t quite keep up, but it is worth it for warm winter days when I don’t have to wear a hat.
Oh, and the reason I have little red and green stickers by the two buttons at the bottom is because you can’t tell what color each one is unless the light is on behind them. I put them there after I kept hanging up on people when I meant to answer the phone.

January 20, 2011 at 3:31 pmNo bragging allowed. LOL! We’re getting 4 to 6 inches of snow in Cincinnati as I write this, and it’s going down to 8 degrees tonight. I’m so sick of snow and cold that I could just croak. The only thing I like about them is watching “Winter Wipeout”! :-)

January 21, 2011 at 11:38 amI know what you mean. My friend lives up in Anchorage, AK and always tries to get me to go up there. Well, seeing the temps. don’t help but I still like my warm 70’s here maybe as low as barely 32 – although rarely.

January 21, 2011 at 1:09 pmI woke up to -15 below here in the Twin Cities, MN. It was even colder in northern MN. I haven’t stuck my nose outside once. My freakish kids were actually playing outside though. Briefly.

January 21, 2011 at 2:39 pmI do the same thing – we moved from Indy to East Texas nearly six years ago. I do not miss -20 windchills (from 40mph winds), scraping ice and shovelling snow. Here, I have to actually wear my winter coat probably 15-20 days out of the year. : )

January 22, 2011 at 1:19 pmThis is the time of year that, when I lived in California, I would call my sister in NY and talk about how I was sitting outside by the pool and about how sunny and warm (by comparison) it was. Ah, happy days.

February 6, 2011 at 2:50 pmI just finished reading your book, and I followed the link to your blog (yay for Kindle for PC!) Imagine my surprise and unadulterated jealousy when I idly scrolled down a few posts read this. I graduated from UNC in May and shortly thereafter left my cozy little Carrboro apartment to move to Germany. Brrrr!
Your book was wonderful and inspiring! I started at 320 lbs and I am down to 240. Mere nanoseconds after my wedding I was surprised to discover a “bun in the oven”, so I’m just working on maintaining and fitness for now. Reading your book is a great way to help me dream of the days when my hour long pregnancy “trundles” that pass for workouts now get to turn back into 5k runs.
