it is official, winter is here, at least in Oregon. from the northern cascades to the souther cascades it is as we speak snowing. when we get snow this early it is not a good sign. last year we had snow this early and wound with near 5 feet of snow for the year. time to bring on the Christmas music, after all home depot and walmart already have put out Christmas decorations.

LOL.....Rep I was thinking of making a similar post. With all the financial mess in the country/world, with global warming, with the Iraq war, Afganistan etc.etc.......Then on top of it all......the boobs have been tucked away for the winter.

We have a winter storm warning out for the next couple of days and yes, as we speak.....snowing.....Farmers Almanac said it's gonna be a long cold one this year no matter what the polar bears are up to.........

damn it is colder then a witches **** in a brass bra here, tring ta get the property winterized but its hard in this weather.

Here in Indiana we are to get in the low 80's this weekend. WhooHoo!!!

Well.....snowing as we speak and about 4 inches already on the ground.......roads are slushy and the mountains around us got about 14-15 inches already.......Ho, Ho, Ho

It's hot chili and fire place snuggling time here in Denver. No snow yet (expect in mtns) but cold and wet. I'm sure we will get snow by Halloween though. We usually do. Welcome to Mingles Woman. Have a great time but watch out for Rep and Robbi. LOL ((hugs you guys. you know I love you both)) ;o)

No snow here yet, but I know its right around the corner. Can never tell when its gonna hit here in Canada. Time to bundle up!!!

82 all last week and 82 is forecasted for all this week

(breaks my heart, lol)

I feel sorry for your global warming woes Cris.......but, suffer through it eh??

actually warmed up here a bit, got to 50 today. supposed ta be 60 tomorow but we will see. we live at the base of the cascades so things change rather quickly

They said that 4 letter word in one of the forcasts last week but the worst we got was a little frost overnight. Temps back in the mid 70's for the Columbus day weekend.

keep that four letter word out there,to early for the white stuff here...

yes...we are suffering some mild Santa Ana winds this Fall. I just *winterized* by closing the sliding door a fraction at night. I'm also thinking about getting a blanket out to accompany the sheet on the bed. That should help too. I wonder if I closed the windows in the guest room and master bath...naaahhh not yet, it's only mid-October. I shouldn't have to close them until late November. I'll make a note to self.

I had to put a sweater on last night in order to get ice out of the freezer

SHEESH, even without the fan on in there, It was like 32 degrees or something!

(I'm sure glad I don't live in Canada, that would have made the temperature like 0 degrees in there, and that's just too damned cold for me)

lol...damn Canadian conversion standards!

Well it was below 32 here last week a few times, but this weekend? High 70's, might reach 80 today. What the bloody hell is going on?? Ah well, certainly won't complain. It won't be long now and we'll be knee deep in Frosty's dandruff.

It's over for now it seems. Supposed to reach 50 the next couple of days. Of course there will be 30-35 mph winds to blow your skirt up and keep it feeling cold. By the weekend, 65......it's sniffle weather....... It's 34 right now, so, maybe if I sit here on the computer for a while, the snow will melt from my windshield and I won't have to scrape.....lol

Well, it's just breaking 80 outside, only got up to 90 yesterday, so winter is indeed here

What's going on? The weather is teasing you, Cap. Just wait, soon you will wish you had our horrible, sticky humidity.... ah crap, no you won't.

It would be heaven down here, except for the humidity...

Ahh the wonderful weather. Here in Roch we had snow Tues. and Upper 60's Today (Friday) for the Trick or treaters.

So yes the cold & flu season is upon us. I sent one of my kids home early from daycare today with a 103.8 fever. Get your Flu shots!!!

woe up this morning to a couple inches of snow on the ground and we have had fluries in and out all day long. we get snow this early its gonna be another nasty winter for us

STUPID SUN!!!

Still in the 70's this week (sorry rep)

it DID get a bit cold the first day of my vacation on the east coast last week, but it warmed back up to the 70's in northern virginia the rest of the trip

(I believe this can be attributed to my sunny disposition)

Beautiful day for a stroll to the voting hall. Thank gosh winter is here!!

Robbi, I saw a pretty nice pair today. Boobs!!

Keerok......I'm jealous....they've all been tucked away for the winter here.....LOL

Snow tonight is the forcast........

same here robbi, we had a bad winter last year and may have another.

Well....I'd like to see some snow, which we didn't get last night, but it's 35 degrees this morning. Need to jump start the rut in a week or so......bring out them big buck with no brains.......lol

Oh my gosh. We (western Chicagoland) got a little dusting of snow mid-week last week, and it's been mid- to high-70s and sunny ever since!! Craziest (and most fanfreakin'tastic) thing.

Obviously, the point was to soak it all up, all the warm air and gorgeous sunshine, so that we don't feel so miserable when we're still shoveling 6 months from now.

We'll be back to cold & rain tomorrow, *real* snow soon I'm sure.

LOL...Lisa....we've been getting teased also....nice one day, cold the next.....alot of rain recently and projected through this weekend.....possibly mixed with snow.....but it'll be wet whatever form it comes down in .......

ah CRAP!!!

bragged up there about the gorgeous weather here and the temp is dropping 15 degrees per day here now

by sunday, it will be colder outside than the inside of my referigerator!

weve been lucky by the beach here a few cold days on and off, but now we are in the 60's again, i luv it!! hi everyone, hope y'all doing good. hugs amd spanks!!!

well the snow is all gone for now, but still cold, got more moisture moving in this week.

Ahhhh. We had a Beautiful week, 60's &70's through Fri. then Sat when I gotta rake the leaves, It was back down in the 40's. Added some rain this morning too.

rain and snow here!

saw my first snowflakes on saturday up in the U.P. of Michigan

Rain,Rain,Rain,Rain, lots of high winds and cold for a week now. I would love to see the Sun.

Beautiful Fall Day here in Great Falls........High of 56 and sunny....

Woke up to snow this morning........was in the 50's yesterday. Canada is at it again, sending those cold air blasts down, complete with wind and snow to make driving hazardous.....30 for a high the rest of the week and then a little break for the weekend......

I'm not big on Winter because it snows here in PA. We havent had any real bad snow yet though.

well we aint had anymore snow sence that last little snow fall we got but it has been real cold here, 30's all week single digits at night, all we need is some moisture and were gonna get hit with the white stuff

*singing* "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer"

Grandma got run over by a reindeer. Walking home from our house Christmas eve. You can say there's no such thing as Santa,but as for me and grandpa we believe. She'd been drinking too much eggnog,and we begged her not to go. But she forgot her medication, and she staggered out the door into the snow. When we found her Christmas morning, at the scene of the attack, she had hoof-prints on her forehead, and incriminating Claus marks on her back.Now we're all so proud of grandpa, He's been taking this so well. See him in there watching football, drinking root beer and playing cards with Cousin Mel. It's not Christmas without Grandma, All the family's dressed in black and we just can't help but wonder:Should we open up her gifts, or send them back? Send them back!! Now the goose is on the table and the pudding made of fig and the blue and silver candles that would just have matched the hair on grandma's wig. I've warned all my friends and neighbors better watch out for yourselves, they should never give a license to a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves.

*haha, the cartoon about this song is really funny... grandma is friggin crazy!

i love the part about the incriminating clause marks on her back

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPaGQEskSKM

i love grandma....

well snow showers are headin in, supposed to start tonight and continue on tell atleast monday

It's 55 out, I'm freezing!! *laughing!!*

The humidity here sucks... the hots are hotter, the colds colder.

Snow from here to Galveston yesterday. First time in recorded history more than an inch. Earliest too. Back to 70% today.

We've got 74 inches since October 1 already. For the first time in my life I have a 4 wheel drive vehicle, and by God I'm never going back again, lol.

yeah when ya live in snow zones cap ya gotta have the 4x4, i have had 3 f-150's and will never own any other truck, unless i can get a new 250 diesel

Yeah......we start tonight too......snow coming.......6-7 inches and then the bottom drops out and -22 Sunday night and Monday......

Yea Robbi thats heading this way,but its going to be in the 30's for the weekend with rain then below 32 all next week...

just moved to a new house in palmdale, ca. and checked the forecast... rain & snow coming monday. YEAH! plus its been like 20- 30degrees up here at night. brrrr!i need more socks!

Oh by the way Welcome Capt and Mostie to the northern snow belt line,winter just started better get a frontend loader to remove that snow,lol

it snowed last night!

love the stuff

got about 5 inches here on the ground, i know its 5 inches cause i stuck my wiener in it, and there was still half an inch of snow before touching the ground

Let me go through my checklist here... -30 c outside (-22 f), snow on the ground, truck might not start (block heater cord looks kinda effed up), apartment windows all frosted over, yep, it seems to be winter although technically it's still autumn for another week or so, isn't it? On the plus side, it does seem more Christmassy and less like the middle of October.

Okay, quick update... isn't it ironic that when the temperature hits -30 c / -22 f, THAT'S when you find out the block heater cord is hooped? Yeah, truck's frozen pretty good, battery's dead, not going anywhere today but no stress, no worries, whatever I had planned today can wait. Probably a good day to see who's playing in the NFL.

Go Iggles(thats Philly slang for Eagles, Biff)nothing was finer then spanking New Yawks ass last week. wheres Mr Matt when I wanna see him?

Rep - it's up to 56 degrees today

I can tell because I went down to the Missouri River bridge and unrolled my pecker out all the way - water temperature is the best way to check ambient air temp

(river's high - it's deep too)

Hiya, Scorp. I never really was an Eagles fan, though I followed them for a bit when Jeff Garcia was still playing for them. College-football wise, I like Temple and they're located in Philadelpia, aren't they?(Why I like Temple, eh, I'm not sure. Trust me, I'm not an alumnus or anything and until they do better, I'm not likely to catch any of the Owl games on tv.)

We're warmer than supposed to be......wasn't supposed to get above -20 today and we're already at -19.......

Well, up here in Everett, Wa my house has about 3-4 inches of snow.

I'm so not a fan of it but it's pretty to look at when I don't have to

worry about being out in it. YUK! This morning was beautiful as the sky

was blue and the sun out as well. Of course, tisn't warm enough to melt the

dratted stuff, but the effect is cosmetically pretty.

Often I am told, Welcome to the Great White Northwest, but I've been here all

my life - the welcome mat has worn thin, lol.

classic MO weather today....

60 right now - down to 12 tonight!

(we may actually get some ice and snow but I DON'T CARE - there's not a reason in the world I'd have to venture out in the next day or two, lol)

Swamper, I'm pretty sure one of the things out there buried in the backyard is a frontend loader. I'm gonna need a backend loader to get it out I think, lol.

watching the news and there is a winter storm warning from now until monday at 10pm.

(((((((((((((bitchen!))))))))))))))

oooooooooo the weather...

yesterday the temps ranged from 60 all the way down to 8 last night and the sun never came out from behind the mass of clouds so it was very dim out

around here, we call this phenominon "im5 weather" because the temps matched his IQ and it was so dim...

-22 this morning, -42 wind chill.......high for today predicted at -15.....

Thank God I'm working on a kitchen remodel and except for a trip to the attic for wiring I'll be inside.......

74 out, going up to 81... probably won't turn the a/c on, a good day to clean bird cages and air the house out.

I miss snow at Christmas time, though. I used to get some great cold weather pics. My Dad thought I was insane running outside barefoot to get sunrise pics when it was below zero. Only out for a couple seconds... but you gotta get good sunrise pics NOW, no time to put on clothes.

oh Wow! We are really having a *winter* storm in SoCal today! I had to put on a long-sleeved tee and socks this morning!! There is even talk of turning on the furnace!

several more inches of snow this morning, right now its a woppin 17 degrees right now.

...the coldest winter I ever spent was summertime in Monterey, CA lol

it's still 6 (SIX) here today (no wind, thank god, lol)

if I truly wanted to feel a 6 degree temperature, I'd just get something out of my freezer

repster - what's the progress on the law enforcement position??

I mean think about it - you could be getting paid for sitting in you warm car eating free donuts and drinking coffee right now, lol!

-6 with no wind chill,Robbi don't send this crap east no more...

LOL......sorry Swamp....but, I'll do anything I can to get rid of it....LOL....I tried sending back north where it came from.....but....it headed east........

-2......-36 wind chill...and warnings out for higher winds tonight...

ya its cold out

-2 as of 8pm my time.

there still going through the application process cris, should hear somthing in the next week.

YIPEEE!!! woke up to 30 degrees (windchill @ 20 degrees) and about 2-4 inches of SNOW here in Palmdale Ca. (northern L.A. County)... and the snow is actually sticking! I know it isn't nada compare to you Hunter or my midwest guys, but in L.A., this is rare and fun! I feel like such a kid! Yes Snow Day for me and bummer for those hitting the freeways... May the force be with them.

A balmy 18 degrees today with wind chill of 0. More snow coming starting tonight and continuing for a couple of days......

MsAries.....enjoy it....The first snow brings out the kid in all of us.....be safe.

Thanks Robbie! its just nice to wake up to 2-3 inches of snow after this dreary fire season... now they said to expect up to 18 inches... cool! i'm a total kid right now & lovin it! ok, back to the outdoors!

same here robbi, still -4 at 9 am here. more snow coming tonight. funny thing around here MS, we have 6 inches or so, and kids are still going to school. no such thing as a snow day here.

i know hunter... its just people here do not know how to drive and would you want to be on the road with those people?

actually hun, have ta deal with that hear, we have alot of southern Californians living up here now, they aint learned yet.

good thing today hunter (btw, i am mingles stalking you at the moment, hehe) they closed most of the freeways for the areas that received atleast a foot or 2 of snow... where i am at we received ATLEAST 2 feet today which is EXTREMELY RARE but a pleasant surprise! i just hope we can have the snow like we did today on christmas day... that would be soooooooo friggin awesome!

boy would i like to setup a camera and take video's on them driving in snow like that,,could win me some $$$$on the funniest home video....

Just watched the weather. Ya'll in the midwest and north east are going to get hammered. That snow in Vegas will be with you this time tomorrow. Moving quite fast and dumping lots of the white stuff. Take care of your pets and be careful driving.

ys shop its 7 degrees in Reno right now,its cold bro,my truck barely turned over,we got 4 inhes on the valley floor in the last storm and they are calling for more tonight and on into the weekend,don't even want to go out ,but Starbucks is calling me,gotta go get one real fatening ones. they are good.

yea shop its coming in early am and then some on sat. nite,,,,,no worries thou already had around a couple of feet...

got almost 18 inches in the front yard so far, the second wave hit us tonight about 6 pm and expecting more tomorrow night. at 830 tonight i was up on my roof shoveling off snow. that was fun in the dark

We're only gonna get a few more inches, up to 6 tonight and tomorrow, but damn is it cold.......-6 now with wind chills at -20, high for tomorrow is -5. I have two basement windows to put in tomorrow.......that should be fun.....lol

Couldn't you guys keep this nasty weather out west??? Listening to the radio on the way to work this morning there were already schools closing in anticipation of the storm, but I saw not a flake til I arrived at work. That was 830 this morning and just the beginning. It snowed all day, schools that weren't closed dismissed at lunchtime. The daycare where I work decided to close early too, (4pm usually open til 6). Parents were notified and started coming to pick up kids. Our plow service had not shown up even at 4 when the last kids walked out the door, with me right behind them. Half the staff had been outside digging out parents who got stuck in the drive. All together we got about a foot of the white stuff, (give or take) but high winds and lots of drifting. Rochester is used to snow but even being prepared the road crews had trouble keeping up, it was coming down so fast and drifting across highways that were already plowed. Took me the better part of 2 hours to drive home, (I wasn't in any hurry, just wanted to get there in one piece). Then another 2 hours of shoveling and I had enough room to get the car in the driveway and the front walk clear for the mailperson in the morn. Still have 2-3 car-lengths of driveway to shovel. Tomorrow supposed to be cold but minimal additional snow, with more snow coming on Sunday.

OK while I was typing and editing midnight rolled by so it's already tomorrow's date on my post but it was meant for the 19th.

Yo......corner pocket!!!!......all that shoveling will keep you in shape...

trust me bunkie, i wanted to keep the winter storm here. although it stopped snowing on thursday early morning, it has been soo cold here in this part of los angeles that the snow is melting veeeery slowly. now we're expecting a winter storm with snow levels at a higher elevation (im only at 2500 ft.) coming sunday. but it has been soo awesome to drive around & see a white snowy palmdale which i've been told is somewhat rare. anyhow, i have a close friend up in buffalo, so you all be safe and stay warm... we here in l.a. will love to take your snow... esp on 12/25.

btw swamp, within the 1st hr of the snowfall here on wednesday, there were somewhere of an upwards of 40 auto accidents. i am happy to say that when i was out driving yesterday (the roads had not been plowed yet), that i was impressed with how well people were driving... i think people got the hint that doing 80mph on snow-slicked roads wouldnt be wise (but it was fun ). random!

I have had rain rain rain and temps in the high 20's at night..Now that is cold. I know it is probably warm for some of you, but I assure you body parts where falling off...LOL

" I assure you body parts where falling off"

There's gonna be some disappointed people out there.......

As of 8 this morning, it's 14 below- hot water pipes are frozen, geeeeeeeeeeeeez......

oh yeah, sorry mostie - I'm sure someone from the FRIGID area of the country forgot to tell you to leave the faucets running just a tad to prevent that...

18 Below as we speak and I just got out of a nice hot shower.......

Frozen pipes suck and are expensive fixes normally....hope you don't own the place and can just call the landlord.....

Naw! Outa luck, she'll call "Caapppttt..."---Capt. this don't happen on Mars. lol

Robb-o, you butthead- you LOVED rubbing my nose in that, didn't you-? LOL

Shop, doesn't happen in Cali, either- lol!

Geesh. I feel kind of guilty. Its a sweltering 31 degrees at 7:00 am.

.....who me??? LOL....

I hope you guys got it taken care of and things are back to normal......

Not yet, lol. Been heating the crawlspace for about 6 hours now, and they haven't thawed yet. I hope the pipes were buried below the frost line, but I'm beginning to doubt it. To top it off, I've gone through three starters on the Suburban in the past month, finally had to take it in, and it turns out there was hairline cracks in the block where the starter bolts to so the starter kept moving around. It's welded up now, but now it won't start even though it's turning over somewhat. I probably will have to change the flywheel tomorrow, this town is full of nice people though. I didn't have the money for repairs, so I took it into this place and the guy is having me work for him on my other cars besides my own to make up what I owe him. It may turn out to be a job, which is scarce in these parts at the moment, because the guy who worked for him died in a snowmobile accident last weekend. He not only gave me his personal vehicle for the weekend, but his credit card in case I needed gas as well. Geez...sure didn't find people like this in Pontiac, lol.

Capt....people like that are hard to find anywhere...you're blessed!!

ditty-boy......... don't EVER doubt that you're in the EXACT place you're supposed to be - WHEN you're supposed to be there!

life is GOOD!!

Excellent Capt.,Good things and good people find good people! Merry Christmas to you both from everyone here on Mars.

IT WONT STOP SNOWING HERE. over 20 inches so far and thanks to my lete night oof cleaning on thursday i got sick. really sucks, been wanting to take my little girl sledding. gettin better, hopefully be up and moving around tomorow. if it stops snowing.

no more snow but the rain is coming down... hunter, i'll take your snow and give you rain. feel better pops!

well seeing as how i cant find half my Christmas decorations in the front yard anymore i think it may be time to pull out the snow blower and go through the front lawn.

no Ms, you can keep yer rain, i prefer the snow.

i found my christmas decorations. hooray for me. took damn near 2 hours to clear just 600 square foot of lawn.

n.e.wisconsin is going to set a record of snow in Dec.,as of yesterday it was 34.7",and its snowing right now,and we have a week to go before this month is over,,,,,keep that snow out in Montanna an Oregon where it belongs,lol

LOL Swamp.....we're not setting any records, but it's been a few years since we've had this much and it stayed this long. A white Christmas hasn't really been seen around these parts for awhile. We need the mountain snowpack for the remainder of the year's fishing and farming so I can't say too much. But, this is the Montana winter of old that we're having......

Blame it on Canada.....lol

Above 0 today for the first time in a while. 21 degrees right now, but, of course the wind is howling......so the wind chill is around 4. Tomorrow, 2-4 more inches, 30 degrees and winds up to 30 mph. Maybe, we'll get snowed in up in the mountains and won't make it back till spring........Ah, that would be grand.....but, highly unlikely, some do gooder would probably "save us"......LOL

Don't forget the do not save sign for the cabin door.

LOL.....good idea

snowing again here.

Snowing again here too, and I'm still working on the suburban over at the shop so I'm driving the owner's Subaru...something tells me the Japanese did NOT have snow in mind when they designed these things, lol. Had to dig out 3 times just to get out of the driveway this afternoon. A White Christmas is a definite certainty though!

Hey, Robbie, it's okay to blame us for the cold and snow... Canada just redirects the blame onto Alaska where these polar conditions originate (though I wonder who Alaskans blame-- the Russians, maybe?)

LOL......Biff....when I lived in Alaska......that's exactly who it was....the Siberians.......LOL

We had a big melt yesterday, then rain, then snow and freezing last night...makes for wonderful driving....

As we speak, it's snowing.....and boy howdy is it. One of those, two inches in 30 minutes type of snows.....I'm hoping it only lasts an hour......lol

been having a good melt here, really not much rain, but snow moving back in by thursday.drive down the road today was nasty slush

Well, it only lasted another 10 minutes after I wrote that....so that's good. Supposed to be 35 today, which would be wonderful to clear these roads of ice. This is what Montana winter used to be and we haven't seen one in years. You should hear the spoiled people bitching.....LOL. On our way home last night came across a guy in a car stuck at the end of the alley, car sunk into the ice/snow crap that the plow had piled there. He wasn't happy at all......lol. Hooked up and pulled him out. Julie is hating life...she hates to drive in this ice, but, at least with the Jeep, she's a little more comfortable......

It's winter in Montana

And the gentle breezes blow

Seventy miles an hour

At twenty-five below

Oh, how I love Montana

When the snow's up to your butt

You take a breath of winter

And your nose gets frozen shut

Yes, the weather here is wonderful

So I'll guess I'll hang around

I could never leave Montana

'Cause I'm frozen to the ground

^Thats not good to hear,,usually that heads east,last night we had freezin rain...

damn siberians! they blew over the 50 below. We haven't had this for a while. Where's the global warming?

LOL......Shiiiiiiiiiiloooooooo, I saw you guys were getting wacked.......Remembering the good ole days and glad I'm in 20 below......cuz, there is a difference ya know......

But you guys get the wind, which of course makes it allot colder. I think I'd rather take 50 below with no wind and humidity versus what you folks get 'down there'. *smile*

Heck once ya hit 30 below, anything colder is all the same. Driving in this stuff is a different story though. Ice fog galore, can't see more than 10 feet in front of ya and your vehicle is filled up with blankets, extra gloves, boots, jackets and ya have to carry the wood stove also. No room for passengers. jk

^oooh looky, a Shilo spotting!!^

So true about the wind Shilo....and yes, I remember that after -25 it's all the same, cuz you dress the same regardless.....lol

And Ice Fog.....don't see that often down here.....I remember seeing people's tires fall off the rims on their first corner out of the driveway.....lol, gotta go slow till the flat spots warm up....

gettin real cold here again, we had some decent 35-40 degree days here for a week, most of the snow melted, snow should be moving back in soon

just saw -4 degrees, here windchill ??? doesn't even matter when its this cold,better go an warm the truck up ya think...

I used to be able to go out walking in -15, but not if the wind was blowing... yuck.

Here now, it's 72 inside, 72 outside. Time to head into town.

Of course, when it heats up all the normal people go away, leaving us to the heat/humidity...

Rep.....I saw alot of flooding and mudslides out your way.....you experiencing any of that stuff with the thaw?????

not around here robbi,it has melted slow enough but up around the portland ares especially around lake oswego and parts of the coast have been bad, a few small highways have been shut down for several days becuase of land slides.

-9 degrees with 10 to 15 mph winds,much of the same for the next couple of days,like the saying goes,,,"nothing like freezin your nuts off"...

Damn Swamp......I heard you guys we're getting hit again. Kinda Balmy around here.....35-40......sweating or cold, no in between.......lol

Down to 20 or lower tonight. First time this year. Three P's, Pets,Pipes,Plants

YAY - it got above 0 degrees today. Supposed to be 20 degrees tomorrow. All the cold weather went to Wisconsin. Swamp, you can keep it too. :-)

gee thanks...

global warming is on it's way here.....50-60 through the weekend for us......my suntan will get a jump......lol

send that to the east now!!!!!,-30 to -40 windchills early this morning...

Well its 71F here today...lmao...sometimes I think San Francisco is on the other side of the equator. We freeze in the summer and get heat waves in the winter.. go figure. Maybe that's why there are so many um... how shall I say?...unbalanced people in these here parts????

I think it was Mark Twain that said, "The coldest winter I ever saw was the summer I spent in San Francisco."

They sell more coats here in the summer to tourists than any place in the world.

We're under a severe weather advisory around here, expecting wind chills temperatures of -10 to-20 degrees. I sure do miss Texas this time of the year.

I just checked your area a little earlier verita......just to see if you'd be gettin it......and sure enough....while I'm basking in the 60 degrees we have comin.....you'se guys will be all bundled up.........don't forget the ear muffs....

-11 with a 10 mph wind,tomorrow a high of 19 deg woohoo...

I'm watching news and the newscaster is hammering a nail with a frozen banana in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Dude! That's COLD! It doesn't get that cold here on Mars. lol

Winter didn't come to me, so I came to winter...brrrrrrrrrrrr...

you think that was a smart move Frckld,lol,we can always use another snow angel...

I do think it was a smart move and I will believe it once I get settled.

Frck, wait a minute....weren't you in Cali??? omg...ANOTHER one has been stolen away from our sunny state! lol

Yes I was Mostie. For a bit over 4 years. That was about 3.5 years too long for me.

Winter has returned.......after 4-5 days of 50-60 degree weather......the next 4-5 days are blowing in with winds, snow and sub zero temps......I shoulda went fishing when I had the chance!!!

22 degrees this am. Need to seal the windows up a bit better.

In Florida??? Wow....you need to move to Anarctica........lol

Kee, could you please make sure the strawberry crops stay warm and not frozen......just what I need, a rise in strawberry prices!! Geesh.......

Quick... call Al Gore... global cooling... it can't be true, lol...!

My well froze up this morning, ice everywhere. Told the dogs they had to hold it for a few hours. Bill

gettin rain here but supposed to be a cold front coming in in the next few days, wouls like some more snow.

67" of snow this season already and another below zero this weekend...

I see alot of peeps east of us are getting slammed.....death toll is already up to 19 or 20......I pray the toll stays low and people make it through. Think before you act........

23 dead and a million without power, I read this afternoon. Pretty bad... I really hope things straighten up soon. This is just what we don't need when times are bad, nature to hammer on us.

And a good friend got stuck on his roof shoveling snow off, the ladder fell down. He had to phone for help. Good thing he had his phone...

About that 22 degree "snap" we had... all the palm trees are losing their fronds, and all the plants in my flower bed are black. Florida plants are really wimpy.

It's pretty bad here right now, alot of snow.

Not too much of a problem for me, but tough for anyone to travel.

Well it is bad up here. Andy will be staying at the office for emergency calls. Try living in an RV during this weather. Who knew I could be this tough! (Ok, ok... he helps keep me tough LOL)

take it from an expert SLOW DOWN !!!

Sounds like personal experience that made ya an expert.......LOL

Snuggle up Star...

Hope it's just snow and the ice storms miss ya Tck...

Mostie........sorry to hear this for you........lol

Bad news! The groundhog sees his shadow

Punxsutawney Phil predicted six more weeks of winter, handlers say

PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. - The world's most famous groundhog saw his shadow Monday morning, predicting this already long winter will last for six more weeks.

yea, its snowing here again... but not enuff for a bikini snow angel yet...

Unbelievable......how long since you've had two snowfalls in one year??

Waiting for pics.......lol

It was pretty cold where I am the last few weeks, but suddenly (and unexpectedly) started to warm-upas of yesterday. I am not complaining!

we had a little snow today. could use a bunch more though. colder than a welldiggers poopiedo

wow. who would beleive that for the 4th time this season we are getting snow here in southern cali... yes, there is a God. plus more to come on sunday.

WoooooooooHooooooooo waitin for the angel pics.......again......LOL

Can I get in that waiting line too...

Ok, I'm not one that minds winter all that much......but, comes a time when you're just plain done and ready to move into spring......so take this ****ing snow and shove it......I'm done...ready to fish and ready to get back to working full weeks.....!!!

it is supposed to be summer here ...after the heat waves we have had ..it is now only 17degc here ..almost winter !! hahaha

For California, it's pretty cold right now.. and the snow is all over the mountains around the city.....

I always laugh when people find out how gets cold here in the winter....

well its coming down up here 4" of the wet stuff already and still falling...

Forecast....2-4 inches of snow.......Reality.....now about 6 inches and still snowing....

Forecast for Saturday......50 degrees and sunny

for the fourth time this winter, we received a deluge of nearly 1-2 inches of snow last night... gasp!

(it will be gone/melted by noon)

we've had a few very cold days, and one 2" snow fall that stuck to the ground for about 3 days - but never stuck to the streets

I haven't seen a winter as mild as this one has been in over 20 years

sorry y'all........... but it's been a grand winter season here, lol!

(I fear though that the "water tables" will pay for the lack of percipitation later this summer unless we get one HECK'UVA'LOT of rain during the spring)

If not............ it's going to be some pretty mild white-water canoeing this year

'My' yard doesn't look like it got 1-2 inches. I'd say a 'dusting'.

funny you should mention the water table.....We've probably had more snow this year than I remember in the past dozen years......so I figured we must be doing good on snow pack in the mountains. Which in turn means a good fishing year with plenty of water in the resevoirs and streams. But, saw an article the other day that said we're behind on snow pack.......even further than last year.....??? I'm still not sure how that could be....but, snow pack is measured by what stays behind, not what comes down I suppose.....

You haven't seen a winter as mild as this one because WE got it all over here, Chris- thanks a lot-LOL

I have to admit, it is beautiful...but Lord, am I SICK of it! Yesterday, the sun was shining all day, I was out driving around half blind during most of it from the reflection on the snow...I know there is grass and roads underneath all of it SOMEwhere, and oh, what I wouldn't give for this stuff to just melt off already-lol

all of the weather news subsequent to my post this morning breaks my heart and brings a tear to my eye, lol

(but the tear isn't enough to count as precipitation)

man'oh'man are the farmers going to whine (more than usual) this year, lol!

Yes, winter is here. Still. With no signs of leaving anytime soon. But at least it's March and what's that saying? If March enters lyin', it exits on the lam, or something like that, right?

well if we were going to have a winter storm this year, it went right by yesterday and forgot to "drop" anything

still a little cool today - around 30, but bright and sunny and the spring warming trend is beginning

it still breaks my heart that we had no, niente, nada, none, zippola' snow accumulation this year

(sniff-sniff)

Well.......2 below this morning with fresh snow.......suppose to warm to 25 above by Wednesday......Seems to be dragging on, but, every year seems like that around this time....just when you want to get fishing......

We're still below healthy snow pack levels according to yesterday's paper. That seems almost impossible.

After 70 in Vegas, it's making this weather really hard to take......LOL

7 below, 25 below wind chill...more snow......WTF!!
