Frank:  How much snow do you have?  I'm kinda afraid to ask but I hear in some places it's a fearsome amount.

Bill:  You are bragging. 

Alf:  You are bragging too.

All the snow we had 2 weeks ago melted except where it was piled up. After that I let it pile up for a few days and had a white Christmas. About 5 inches of nothing but powder was on my truck when I finally swept it off Tuesday. No ice or fogged up windows either. I got lucky. The Weather Channel at weather.com says there's a 40% chance of snow tonight but I don't think we'll get any. The forecast goes all the way up to January 11th with 10% or 20% chance of snow every day except the 7th is 30%. It looks like it's going to stay below freezing that whole time.

Alf, you need to go to AI in June and September like us.....you know, when the skeeters are in full attack mode.  ;D

Lows next week here in south GA are predicted to be in the mid 20's all week....possibility of a couple inches of snow around Wednesday. There won't be a roll of toilet paper or a bottle of wine in a walmart anywhere.  ;D

The last snowfall that was heavy enough to stick was in January of 2010 (I remember the wife had no hair from chemo).

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

We've gotten into the high 30's before dawn here the last few days. By noon it's up in the mid 70's, so it isn't too bad.
;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D

It's the upside for the price we pay for Hell In Summer.

You dirtbag.  Now I don't know what to think.

This just messed me all up.  My head is reeling...or is that from the remodeling paint fumes or Pathfinder's response?

Frank...you ain't braggin.  You're enduring.  Better you than me brother.

Timothy...that sucks too.  The low temperature...stop it with the dirty mind.

I'll get my revenge when it's 75 degrees and 30% humidity here and some of you guys have 100 degrees (but it's a dry heat ;)) or 90 degrees with 100% humidity. It's a price I'm willing to pay for having all 4 seasons in a year, and 3 of them aren't bad. I once had a neighbor who had it all worked out. He and his wife lived in Michigan from mid-spring until mid-fall, and around Brownsville, TX from mid-fall to mid-spring. No snow or sweltering heat to deal with. But I can only afford one house so I'm not going anywhere.

It's 15 degrees right now and the forecast has changed a little. There was what looks like a fraction of an inch of snow from in the house, and a 30% chance of more tonight.
