HEAT WAVE!

The bitter cold had finally made a move and has left town....it has been warming up all night long.
We started out the night at -5F, right now, it's 13F and it's supposed to start snowing sometime today. Officially, we spent close to 10 days under zero...a little over two weeks in my part of town and most of that was at -15 or lower.
As crazy as it sounds, I would rather deal with 30 inches of snow than -30F. This is due to the fact that I had mentally prepared myself for a winter in Phoenix Arizona...NOT Anchorage Alaska. When that fat, juicy bonus was plopped down in front of me, there was not enough time to prepare myself (mentally that is) for the impending deep freeze that I knew was coming.

Should'v, would'v,could'v.......

I should have:
--not taken the contract with the awesome bonus and stayed in Anchorage
Or
I would have:
--been in Phoenix
AND
I could have:
--been basking in the 70F degree weather and not freezing my nads off at -20F

Could be worse, could be in Fairbanks were it's been hovering around -52F.....
