Question for Iowans here.

[Wapsie B]

Why is it that people in this state take such delight in complaining about the weather? I was in the grocery store tonight, and a guy in front of me was talking to the cashier about the winter weather and how we may get some more precip next week. I couldn't help myself and piped in and said, "You know, this is Iowa. We get cold and snow now." But it fell on dear ears. Just one thing that really irritates me about living here. It just seems so many get a real thrill about bitching about the weather, no matter that time of the year it is, and it's wearing thin. I just want to tell them to please enjoy the day. I say all this as a native of the state.
