I am wondering if you ran into any of these monsters (see picture) while there. They were a little bigger & heavier than a model A! |

Re: So Done with Winter
Hope the weather gets better for you soon. This is why I like Georgia. I can drive my car all year long. The only time I dont drive it is when it rains. Thanks for sharing the beautiful photos!

As for living underground, Coober Pedy has been mentioned. They do the same at White Cliffs and I know people who have done it for the stable temperatures they get year round.

Re: So Done with Winter
It dropped to below zero F. last night, and today I went to the grocery store. The parking lot was pure white with thick road salt, not snow. It was windy, and the salt was being picked up and blown around like snow. Bring on the heat!

Re: So Done with Winter
Every night is in the 20's F. With the snow now blowing sideways, it is like a blizzard outside this afternoon. I am ready for spring, bring it on.

Re: So Done with Winter
Two nights ago I slept with my window open and just a sheet covering my bronze tan muscular body....today I have at least an inch of snow now.
This Saturday, back up to low 70s.........that time of the year for unpredictable weather. Might get Sarah out for a drive.......

Re: So Done with Winter
Winter has FINALLY arrived. Happy days !
After suffering through 4 years of extreme drought, it is a real joy to once again see water (and snow) falling from the sky ! So far this year our rainfall totals on the North West Coast of California is at 160%. And our lakes are once again full to capacity. And our summer water supply in the mountain reservoirs are at full capacity for the first time in four long years! So it is with great joy that I welcome with open arms the wonderful Winter that has finally come to our parched West. |

Re: So Done with Winter
Just back from Arizona. You should be down there with all the other Canadians. They love to check in on the weather back home and have a laugh!

Re: So Done with Winter
If they are laughing in Arizona, you should hear them howling here in the Barbados. Every day here is sunny and a plus 27C. Home this morning in Portland Ontario is -15C
Looking forward to getting home and ice fishing in late March.

Re: So Done with Winter
Truck got moved out to make room to pull another project apart. The last storm of 2016 had passed and the groundhog said it was a go. 5 more inches and Ice rain last night. The more I complain the more it snows, so I am shutting up now and trying to embrace it. (Ha)

Re: So Done with Winter
A couple of warm days brought the temperature up to 87 today and looking at possibly 88 tomorrow in Tucson...Back to the chilly 60 on Saturday. (I won't bring up what the temps are here in July or August)

Re: So Done with Winter
I have a 4wd tractor setup to remove snow from our dirt roads. My neighbors leave Jack Daniels on my porch to clear their roads and driveways. Question can a Model A burn JD?
It has been a GREAT YEAR for snow and booze! |

Re: So Done with Winter
Yeah, Yesterday was beautiful here too . Did I hear someone say it was 65? I think so! I was so nice I thought it was 85. The older I get the further south I want to move. I should borrow my daughters place on lake Conroe, Texas. But If you like weird weather, go to Denver, If the cold doesn't get you on Monday, the heat will on Tuesday, but never fear, you'll be passed out from altitude sickness Sunday night. Great place! The mile high city they call it!
