There's Always The Weather

[Riverwind]

Here in Winter Wonderland, its snowing again, then its going to get cold, like zero and below, then we will have a big snow storm but it will warm back up again to about 15 or 20. That takes us through the weekend.

We already have the 3rd highest snow fall recorded and its only the 11th of January. January and February is when it really gets bad, so I think before this winter is over we will have had more snow then anytime in recorded history.

Yes Moi, I got up this morning and there was an inch of new snow on the ground and its still snowing.

I love it.

Rupert on the other hand knows I am somehow responsible for this and is wondering why I am pissed at him, he keeps trying to butter me up.

Looks like the right coast is getting a tropical gift.
Atlanta frozen over. Will the Peach Trees survive?
NYC on weather alert which means some of our mid Atlantic friends are in for a treat to, if not already delivered.
Will it reach up to Maine? Only Ernie can give us the first hand accounts.
OZ-land flooding again.
Aren't parts of Euro-land doing the same?
I love the weather this year. Clean air, fantastic clouds, the views of nature such as snow covered peaks in the distance are really, really special this year.
Only regret no rain in any forecast.

If this is global warming, sign me up!

Well final count is another 2 inches of snow with more coming this weekend.

That brings the years total over 30 inches.

There are things we can do that you will never know,

like taking a cup of hot water out side and throwing it in the air.
Playing Ice Hockey on a lake, (major tournament this weekend).
Ice Fishing.

I love the four seasons, each has something special to bring.

I tried to convince my brother to go with me to watch some snowmobile speed runs in International Falls a few years ago. I never could figure why he didn't want to go!

Probably "the noise" and "abuse of a winter wonderland".

My experience with white winters was by six weeks before the end people are really getting sick of it, and achy as well.

Boring seventies, no clouds, clean air.

Though I grew up in Colorado, and have done the whole winter wonderland ski thing, I remain of the opinion that snow is a "four letter word."

Moi, California does not have clean air, never did.

Has anybody seen Al Gore lately?

[Riverwind]

No, sense he got thrown out of the house and living in a tent, he has not said much, but I understand that tent is in Mexico.

Mexico: A place ex-politicians retire to after they fucked up there country.

or is that the other way around???

We are bracing for low sixties and up to a quarter inch of rain over a one day period.
