Is it spring in your world?
« on: February 14, 2010, 02:02:19 PM »
Getting ready for a trip and thought I'd share the preparation  ;D



Honestly, the camera is not as bad as it looks.  That is what the fog and haze was like yesterday, and today it is clear, but wind and snow moving at about 35 mph from northwest ... looks worse!

Sunshine ... Here we come !!!

Daaayyyaaammm! That makes the 12 inches we got look like nothing. I still don't have power at the house. It's been out since Thursday night.

Snow Tires on a motorcycle?  :'(

Hope you get to warmer weather soon. Safe trip.

Sounds like you have exactly the same weather as we have here - bright, sunny, windy and in the teens temp-wise! Ground blizzards due to the wind and the very cold dry snow that's just sitting on the ground.

BTW, we have a snow pile over 2 stories tall (pause and ponder that - 2 stories) in the middle of our cul-de-sac. The city wants to remove it, but is trying to figure out just where in the heck to put it.

Safe trip.

It was 76˚ today, 77˚ 10 miles up at Disneyland. It's still 70˚ and since I'm sick, it's too damn hot! It'd have been a great day if I wasn't.

Welcome to Fl. M58, but button up, it got down to 62 today. ;) Ride safe and enjoy the beach. On a more serious note, the cold weather (and no I'm not kidding here) has had a huge effect on the fishing. The water has gotten cold enough (below 60) to cause massive fish kills on snook and tarpon. :'(  However, it has lit up the offshore scene. Swords, sails and spinner sharks are being taken like it was the late '80s. My advice is to bring an extra 5 bills and a couple of friends and book an offshore charter. It is hot there. If you're ever going to drop the cash to go offshore, or even off the beach for spinner sharks which are as cool as any tarpon, this is the year.

Our snow's pretty much completely melted. Pretty to look at but I'm not quote sad to see it go.
