No snow in my part of MI, but that will change this week.

Yeah, you know....SNOW.......that cold stuff that's the same color as the stuff on top of yer old-assed head.
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
I can say that because I'm younger and mine's getting whiter and whiter by the day. ;) ;D

OH! That stuff! Why would any one in their right mind live where that stuff is?
:)
-
So Cal too. It's raining her down by the ocean, but when it clears up, we'll be able to see a lot of snow up in the mountains.
Surf and snowboard on the same day! ;D

I'm not in my right mind, and I like it here. ;D

I was disapointed by the ocean up towards SF, it was no warmer than here in New England. :(
-
I like it here too, but I've never seen snow in a chat room before. ;)

I think Mark twain said it best.
"the coldest winter I ever experainced was a summer by the bay"
the up welling of the cold water from the deep ocean just of the coast makes the northern CA coast line very cold.

8pm, still 52 outside :)

8:23 63 degrees ;D

They are calling for 9" of the white stuff here starting tuesday. Ok! You DRTV's from out west of me need to know that winter has not started according to the calendar. So stop sending it my way. Send it down south. I love watching them drive in it. ;D

snow what's that
I have never seen this white stuff that falls from the sky
a cold day to me is around 10 to 15 degrees

Is that 10 -15 degrees C?
We're going to get hammered here in MI and the great lakes area. National weather service has been making statements about this since at least last Saturday a.m. Rain, freezing rain, wintery mix, snow, high wind warnings, and throw in falling temperatures and lake effect snow towards the end for good measure. Not looking forward to the cummute tonight thru Thursday. Remember SNOW is a four letter word.

We're Americans, dang it, we don't use celsius. :P
-

next thing you will want me to translate to English :P
50 to 59 I think it is a cold day for summer today as it is only 68 at the moment
-
We're Americans, dang it, we don't use celsius. :P
C x 1.8 + 32 = F.....
-
Thanks, we actually use celsius at work.
-
-40 F = -40 C. That's cold no matter where you're at.
-
we have had a bit recently.
been really warm so far, couple weeks ago i was splitting wood with a t shirt on.
seems like as soon as december hit it got cold.
-
Still beats the crap out of LAST year, about the middle of October it dropped to about 30 and almost never got above that again until June.
-
Here in OH we have been getting snow though not as much as MI. Starting to get a little cold. Took the kids out and let them go sleigh riding. Pelted them with snow balls to. I have to finish butchering my deer and hogs.
-

When the temp drops below freezing the damn announcers tt feel the need to point out windchill >:( When it's 20 below I don't care if the wind is blowing or not ... It is just damn cold, and who cares if you freeze to death in 30 seconds or 45 :-\
It's like when I was in Arizona. It was my birthday, and I was in the apartment rehydrating. It was 125 and the wind was blowing sand under the back door. I was talking to someone up north and they pointed out that it was "dry heat." To which I replied "Have you ever stuck your head in a pre-heated oven? That's dry heat too!"
I don't care where you are, hot is hot and dry is dry! However, the older I gets the less I enjoy shoveling rain.
-

I hear you! But, I'd rather have the cold then deal with the heat "dry" or not!!
-
I tend to be "bearish" about weather, when it gets cold I hibernate ;D
-
When it's cold, you can always put on something warmer. When it's hot, sometimes you have no other relief....
I'll stay up north....besides, I rather freeze to death than die of thirst.....much betterer....
-
Minus seven this AM, with 4-6" of fluffy white stuff on the ground.
Y'all whine like MB in the Secret Hidden Bunker! ;D
-
They call it "snow" because $h!t was already taken.
-
Well lets see it got up to a blazing 10 yesterday and yes that is fahrenheit, and with the wind chill it got down to about -20 last night. Plus it's been snowing off and on since Sunday morning. But the only thing that I don't like about the whole thing is all of the Californian imports we've gotten that don't know how to drive in the stuff. :P You know it's bad when you are going 25mph on an interstate through a city of 60,000 people.
-

Out here, we call that the Central Artery, Interstate 93 in Boston, in the summer.....but it's more like 1,600,000 people..
Years ago, I was driving down 93 in August and the pedestrians were walking faster than I was driving.....that was the last time I went to Boston....1994 or 95...

I'll second that! ;)

I feel your pain. We're currently getting heavy snow with 35 mph winds, and they tell us that by 9 tomorrow morning it will dip down to around -1 AIR temperature.
HAZ, PLEASE SEND BACK THOSE ELECTRIC BLANKETS!!! ;D
-
-15 hear this morning with a state low of -34. The water is hard, time to go Ice fishing before the January thaw takes it away. :D

I don't have to fish for ice. I just go to the refrigerator.
;D

I can walk on water, as long as it's hard water. ;)

Give it a try, it keeps a lot better
-
I actually don't mind the sub zero temps if I can dress for it, it gives me a feeling of acomplishment to go do something out side at -20 and then get back indoors with out dying ;D

Personally I'd rather sit inside in front of a fire sipping a Captain & Coke and watching some OTHER poor dumb bastard do something outside at -20. I guess that means I shoulda been an OFFICER, huh? ;D

YES ;D or a 1st Sgt ;D

In mid Michigan near Lake Michigan it is snowing and blowing and thundering right now. Suppose to warm up to the mid 30s overnight, change to rain, then the wind is to get really bad, the temperature plummet, and the lake effect snow kick in.
-
It's coming this way, we are supposed to get 6-10 inches tomorrow changing to rain. It will get interesting if it freezes.
And MB and Marshal aren't even here to enjoy it like last year ;D
-
Felt the need to move this up. It is a house cleaning day today. I'm not sure how much snow we have received, or how fast the wind is blowing, but I do know that it is 2 degrees, I can't get off the yard (the guy that rents the barn was here and plowed a strip through the yard, but the county and city plows aren't running), the dogs are in the house, and I am cleaning.
Twelve years since I quit teaching EMT, FireFighter and specialized rescue; seventeen years since farming was ended; and fifteen years since I gadgiated from kollage; and it is time to clean up some of the stuff that was still around. We had been married four and a half years when we moved out here, it was five more years till the fire, and now it has been twenty years (twenty years in two weeks) since we moved into the new house and started collecting crap. One of my uncles that went through a fire after us said that "everyone should have a fire every five years just to get rid of all the crap."
Will spend a little more time on this project, then I have a little family room cleaning before company this weekend, and the guns should get some attention yet today ;D
Keep warm everyone!

6 inches so far still coming down.

Woke up this morning to a balmy -13 and a wind chill of -32. The Copenhagen summit is doing wonders for global warming... ;D
-
Woke up to an overcast and muggy 68. It is now 72 and sunny with a light breeze. All windows open. Shorts and tee shirt are uniform of the day.

AS long as I'm upright. I can kinda shuffle along. But if I go down I'm pretty well screwed. :o

Man I am looking for at least some cooler weather....Setting record heat down here, wife is complaining(nice word to choose),....
86 today, 87-88 tomorrow....
Had to put the A/C on... >:(
-
Cold front is moving in after the wind storm here in Ohio. Yea we are out of power and it is suppose to be 12 tonight.
-
Woke up today and it finally quit snowing. 11-12" of the white stuff and a balmy -22 without the wind, made for a long cold day at work. Wind chill warning tonight except -30 to -40 according to the weather guy. Should be fun.
-
We got about 8 inches of snow, with the wind chill -15

We got about 8 inches of slushy, wet, heavy, icey stuff which prompted me to dip into the hidey place where I'd stashed some cash for a new lever gun and maybe a .22 LR Savage and dropped 900 bucks on a new snow blower instead....
Remind me why I love the north! :-\
Bought a compact Ariens this time, seems like a much better unit than the Troy Built I had a few years ago...all steel, heavy duty but not a monster. Consumer Reports recommended it so I'll see how she runs. Didn't have any trouble moving the heavy stuff...
I also gotta find a new hidey place.....the wifey snooped my hideout....

Got to save the ol back! Sorry you had to wipe out the lever fund. ;D

The Good Lord saw fit to use my money for a more noble cause....I know I'll use it more this winter than the lever gun....plenty of time to hide some more cash and my burfday is in May...

OK, I know it was only eight inches, on top of two inches from last week, and 50 mph winds to move it for us. However, since we are in the early winter whining mode I will share ... Photo number two is from one cleaning of the lot and almost as much as we piled there all last winter.

Nothing more in the near future, but I guarantee there will hell to pay if I listen to Big Tom forecast another one of these!

Ok, since M58 is showing off HIS parking lot, I thought I'd show off mine. I left the van in the picture just for the sake of perspective.

That reminds me of Sault Sainte Marie (the Soo). They have a lot of snow and not a lot of places to plow it too, so they cart it off and dump it somewhere else.
