Last winter, you couldn't walk through some trees without tripping on a dead iguana.

Damn that Al Gore....

It's nice to have the windows open for the holidays. After just leaving CT, this weekend was fantastic.

I get to wear jeans and carry my "other" goodies, that I cannot when it's a swamp ass hot day.

Still have the Miami Herald article from flurries in Miami in the 70's. It was gone in a couple of hours, but it did snow in Miami.

That's when "experts" were touting a second Ice Age..... :P

FQ if only my winters were as bad as yours, boo hoo, 50 some degrees must be rough.  Speaking of winter clothes, up here the only thing you can do with winter gloves on in our winters is pee our pants. We see -30 a lot more than I wish, when it hits -10 it is a good day to get caught up on work outside. No sympathy here.

To quote my late lamented stepfather:
"If God had intended for man to live in the cold, the Florida Turnpike wouldn't have ended in Wildwood (a lttle town north of Orlando). You go any further north than that and you're on your own. He tried to warn you". ;D

The "Florida Turnpike may end in East Azzhole Fla. But Rt's 1 and 95  go damn near to Canada, so his theory doesn't work.
Or else God DID intend for men to live in the cold.

As for the rest, count me with Huntnelk, Boo f&%king Hoo,  Wuss
We had flurries a couple weeks ago with a snow storm predicted for next weekend.
Oh, and it hasn't been above 45 for 2 weeks. I'm a wimp, I'll be digging out my long sleeved shirts this week.   ;D

All of us could have worse winters.

I saw this line reprinted from a Fairbanks AK newspaper.

Heat wave engulfs Fairbanks as temps skyrocket to 35 below.

45 F when I left the house this morning for therapy.  52 F for the ride home.

I'm not going to complain, because it is nice to be able to ride!  They told me prior to the surgery to put the bike away for the season.  However, I wasn't willing to accept that in mid September, and my stubbornness has paid off with over 500 miles since I was told "no more this year."

It would be nice if we could keep the no drivin' Canucks to a minimum down here for the winter.

Traffic is worse, between the Yankee Snowbirds, and the Canadians, it sucks.

Although, I can't blame them too much for wanting to leave the ice cube regions.
