Anyone else sick of the snow?

Published

I realize I chose to live in Michigan, but ugh!! :uhoh3:

I heard on the radio that out of the last 20 days, it has snowed 17!! :crying2:

I'm tired of driving in it, especially to clinicals at 0700 and having to get

up super-early to get there because our school NEVER closes! :angryfire

I feel better.

Thanks for listening.

Think Spring!

Some of my family is in Michigan and they said it was about 10 degrees tonight. It's just around 40 degrees right now here in NC, and Monday it was sunny and 67. It's my first winter here, and I'm surprised by how mild it has been- only several days of rain and it's only snowed twice. We are in a drought, though. I remember it being in the 60's in December and riding my bike through the woods- something I'd never get to do back in MA (during December).

I guess there is no way in petitioning mother nature to stop dumping snow and freezing rain on us. I had to drive to work early Sunday morning and that was a real treat. I take 75 south to work and people still drove like idiots on the icy road. I went about 30 mph on the freeway! It was awful and I kept passing accidents and saying to myself "yep, sooner or later those people are going to be my patients in SICU"

Too bad you couldn't somehow thank the people driving like idiots for helping to give us good job security...nn:lol2:

Best,

Yeah I'm sick of the fact that one day it's 45 out, the next day it's 5 with a wind chill of -15. I hate snow as well, hopefully will move out of Michigan someday. Can't stand it the weather. Would much rather it not drop below 50 degrees ever...lol

I hate the snow & especially the bone chilling wind! It is absolutely freezing out there right now, I guess the low tonight is -10. Usually I can deal with the snow but this winter I have had enough. We even had clinical cancelled 1 night a couple weeks ago because the weather was so bad!

Hey Diane-RN, not sure where you attend school, but our school DID close one day last year - our clinical instructor called us all about 5:15 am to say the heavy snow closed school, and there was no clinical!! I was still under the covers and sleepy, and just rolled over and slept another hundred hours!! Even, better, it was a Med-Surg clinical and we didn't have to make it up!

I still dream about that day....

I'm with the rest of you. Today is Thursday, and I cannot believe how COLD it is out there.

I live between Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids. We've had 90 inches of snow this year. And I hear more is on the way (the weather said "winter storm") for next Monday and Tuesday.

Would be nice to have a snow day for clinical sometime, but I don't hold my breath :uhoh3:

Best,

Diane

I don't remember what I did....only what I didn't HAVE to do. The fact that she called early enough so we weren't wide eyed and ready to leave the house was extra fabulous.

I'm sure I studied Med-Surg at some point that day - that class was hard and I studied every moment I could find. A good class behind me!:yeah:

I have to say I can relate, I am a transplanted Wolverine (Go Blue lol) and now after 4 yrs in FL I can barely handle it when the weather hits the 40's! If myparents think we're moving back when i graduate, they can either keep dreaming or become snowbirds lol
