Weather: California vs Ohio

I’m trying to mentally prepare myself for the cold in Ohio. I really have no frame of reference for ongoing, constant, daily cold. I really don’t.

So I loaded some weather information for it on my google landing page. When I looked at it today I realized that I just might be crazy for moving back to Ohio in the middle of winter.

I don’t even have clothes for that kind of weather. I don’t even own a real winter coat. Visiting snow is very different from living in snow. I’m kind of starting to panic a little.

I’ve told everyone that my new greatest fear is to hit a patch of black ice, spin out in a snow bank and not be found til Spring. I don’t even really know what black ice is, but I’ve heard about it on tv and it’s never mentioned in a happy context. It usually means serious accident, hazardous weather conditions or certain death.

So this is gonna be interesting. Maybe I need to view this as diving in the deep end. If I don’t die now then I’ll survive the rest of the year. How is that for positive thinking?
