I am so glad winter just has a month or two more left in it. It has been so cold here.......I had to wear my coat....Let's see.....3day this winter...(snikering to my self)

Yeah! You and me both! I just got back from a run in shorts and a t-shirt. 62 farenheight today!

Yeah Michael, I hear you. It was 70 something degrees here today. We haven't really had a winter so far. I keep waiting for it to get here, but nothing so far.

However, Feb and Mar are usually the coldest months here in sunny Okla so we'll see what happens.

Oh yeah, our new house is almost finished and we will be moving in the next couple of weeks. That should make the weather turn to crap for sure.

I was going to go for a swim today but the water was too cold at 78?.
(then he wakes up)
Wait, there was no swimming, I was too busy digging out about 30 feet of snow.
Sorry fellas, I've got no sympathy for you. Hope Marion chimes in, he'll have even less sympathy.
You're a bunch a sissies.

Me too, its really bad here in Southern California...
low 70's in the winter??
If ts stays this cold I may have to wear a T-shirt instead of a tank-top!

Well up here in the great white (er..... green) north, On the west coast that is, we haven't seen snow since 2 weeks before Christmas, but we did have 28 days of solid rain. That sucked, but today was wonderful, see





I use to live in northern Alberta where we had snow like Mario for 4 months of the year. I don't miss it one little bit.

I'll be thinking of you Texas and California tough guys on the ski slopes this weekend...

AH! That's one of the best parts about Northern California: less than an hour from 7000' and the lifts! Was snowboarding in 2 feet of fresh last Thursday
I'll stop rubbing now - bad form...
I guess there's a down side: Homes start at $500,000

Okay those are fighting words I forgot to mention I've got a 2 hr drive to ski 700 feet of vertical

we don' ski much here in Quebec, but we can sure skate our way to work!

I think Arkansas is on the "Winter do not call list" this year too, it was close to 70 today. I would like to have one cold blast at least and one snow fall.   We desperately need the rainfall and a little chill before the 6 months of humidity season sets in.

Yeah, I just spoke with my Dad (lives in Batesville). Sounds like your drought is pretty bad. Get goin' on the rain-dancing down there!

This is our warmest winter in years. Coldest yet was -26 instead of the ussual -40 or cloder and the snow banks are only5' high. Going to cost our region millions as the snow roads arn't in to get to the winter wood supplies for th forestry industry and our northern communities will have to fly in all supplies (including heating fuel.) But I don't miss the cold. Only - 2 today.

I must have been working that afternoon when summer came by!

Winter? No such thing here I know you guys in the deep snow won't believe it but I actually miss the snow. Haven't seen it in about 15 years. The seasons don't change a lot in Florida.

That's where my snowbirds(parents) are parked, for our winter!

Well, here at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, we've still got snow on the ground, which is somewhat rare. Usually its here one day and gone the next, but this one has stuck around about a week and a half.
Record snowfalls in the mountains, 3rd snowiest ski season on record....I'm lovin' it. Many, many powder days and Vail is sweet every day.
Keep it coming, mama natural...

Yes, you guys are definitely getting the goods over in the Rockies! Was in Vail Dec 15-18 and saw some excellent days there. Except for the altitude problems trying to snowboard at 12,000'! Man thats up there!

We're also having exceptionally warm weather here in Minnesota (above freezing almost every day lately). It's causing all kinds of problems for the St. Paul Winter Carnival, which starts in a few days.

YOW!! Here in Spokane, we've had a mild winter, little snow, but compared to where Richard is, it's been balmy here, low to mid-30s. But I'm looking forward to spring, more days in my un-insulated garage-shop, to start on #2.

After moving to the inland NW, I learned that the San Francisco Bay area, where I came from, doesn't even HAVE seasons.

A bit nippy for the shorts, t shirt and tevas

Seems like I heard recently that some areas of Europe (or maybe Russia) are getting slammed with some truely Arctic weather conditions. I guess it all evens out in the long run.

Ron, i guess that in both our case, we shouldn't blink too long, otherwise, a couple of seasons will go by!
