You know it's winter in Nebraska when....
1) You get excited when it hits above 0 for the high.
2) You have ice growing like mold on the inside of our sliding glass door.
3) It takes days to finally get all the ice scrapped off your window after a storm.
4) It takes you 10 mins. to bundle you and the baby up to head outside.
5) Then it takes you another 5 min (if you are lucky) to scrap the ice off your window.
6) Then if you are lucky and your car heater doesn't work, you spend another 5 min. scrapping the inside of your windows.
7) When you walk down the sidewalk the snow on either side of you goes up to your thigh. ( if it's shoveled)
8) When you are driving the snow plowed on the side of the road is higher than your car.
9) You can't see if there are cars coming when you make a turn. Due to the snow being piles up so high.You just pray and hope for the best.
10) You have problems finding the garbage dumpster, because it hiding in the pile of snow.
11) You mailbox is completely covered, so you just dig a hole big enough to open the mailbox and just leave it open! So the mail man knows where to deliver your mail.
12) By the time you drive someplace your whole body is completely numb, and you have to pile at least three blankets on your kid so they don't freeze.
13) You find it hard to carry you sleeping baby, and your laundry at the same time, because you are afraid of slipping on the ice, but it's two cold to make two trips.
14) If you wear glasses, the fog up whenever you go from outside to inside.
15) You never go outside with wet hair, because it will freeze.
16) You can feel your burger freeze in your nose.
17) When you go sledding the drool from your baby turns to icicles on his jacket.
18) The bottom two inches of your pants are always wet from from the snow and ice.
19) You stop carrying a sippy cup for your toddler, because the water will freeze by the time you get some place.
20) It doesn't matter how well you drive you are constantly sliding all over the road.

Crazy! I don't think I'll ever move there. I'm not strong enough.

Yikes! I would never want to live there! Ever!
