Aloha!
Just sharing a little winter humor…I grew up just outside Chicago, so I GET it. What about you? (With thanks to Linda Koukis. Edited for Hawaii…)

Your Daily Dose of Paradise with Jamaica Michaels--A Maui Blog 
Last Sunday it was 15 degrees an hour south of Chicago. I grilled on the back patio in two inches of snow. The pork chops were great.
LOL perfect. I live in Omaha, NE (for now) after it was negative -11
and “warmed up” to all of 15 degrees, suddenly people were saying just how much better it felt outside. I compare it to the woman who is excited that her husband bought her a last minute anniversary card from a gas station on his way home from a night at the bar.
Aloha Kenneth,
Thank you for sharing! My sister sent me a screenshot showing that the temperature got to 47° with the caption: “What a difference a week makes!” I know she’s much happier, and I’m sure you are too.
Glad that’s over for all of you.
Aloha, Jamaica
