@parus - I'm sure the weather is contributing to many of our down moods. We all need sunshine and fresh (warm) air!

Count me in the boat @hopeful33250, this weather is affecting my mood and motivation as well. The arthritis in my joints is inflamed from the weather and I have found it near impossible the last two weeks to get myself to the gym as a result. The thaw is coming this week I think, so hopefully that helps us all a little bit.

@JustinMcClanahan

Yes, I think we are all waiting for a thaw! Teresa

@JustinMcClanahan I don't know where you are Justin, but here in NH and all of New England the thaw is still a ways off and tomorrow they are predicting a blizzard. That's the worst -- if we lose power and temperatures are low. I am not a nice person after a day of sitting in the house FREEZING. We have to make runs to Dunkin Donuts for coffee and to get warm in the car. I had a doctor appointment in Boston tomorrow but they called and cancelled!

I'm in Rochester, Minnesota. We haven't seen a temp above 4 degrees in about 10 days now. But I think this weekend is supposed to get back up to a squelching 20+ degrees! I actually like snow & winter, just not the blistering cold. If winter could be 15-30 degrees and consistent fluffy snow, I'd be OK with it. However, losing power would be no good. Winter gets especially frustrating when it messes with things such as doctor's appointments, even more so when those appointments can be hard to get and months out, I am sorry to hear about this.

@JustinMcClanahan I don't really mind snow and temps in the 20s either, when younger I was an avid skier and skied until our son and daughter were in college. My husband and I met at a ski area!
The interference with appointments is a pain, now my appointment is not until January 25.
