Well... I wouldn't say I'm stuck in the house, but I spend an awful lot of time avoiding going outside because it's so cold out. Several of these cold days have been bright and sunny (God, if You're listening, I think that's really mean!) which helps when I absolutely must go places (petsmart, supermarket, church). I can't hit the car wash because my doors will freeze closed - I don't have covered parking. I get my revenge in that when it's this cold, it's too cold for substantial snow, and I'd rather wear 52 layers of clothes than drive in the snow. I'm definitely in the minority in that regard. The disadvantage to spending that much time inside is that you'd think my house would be pristine - like Bree on "Desperate Housewives" - but that is definitely not the case.
