Living in the south with a Model A

[George Miller]

Last week on Saturday we took a 300 mile tour in our A,s. We had a great time.
Today we took a 86 mile tour, the weather was great. It must have been about 70 degrees.

Thanks George. My brother tells me there's 17" of sunshine in St Augustine (he and his honey are at Disney til Tuesday).

Supposed to snow here now until Tuesday morning.

Same here "flamingo", I'm getting tired of shoving and blowing it. George, I'm jealous, could you send some of that warm weather up here to southern NY and Connecticut?

Thanks a lot! You make a guy with 5 or so inches of rain in one day feel bad! Guess at least I don't have 5 or so feet of snow.

break those chains!!!!
move south.
the census shows people are leaving the cold snowy wet regions in droves and heading south.
FL, SC, AZ, TX are big gainers, as well as other southern states obv.

1 million ppl move to Texas every decade.

DON'T move to Ca, you WON'T like it & if there's an E-QUAKE, you might fall into the L/H Ocean!!

The guy I bought my Honda riding mower from moved to New Mexico, so he wouldn't have any grass to mow.

My folks talked about moving to NC for the last 10 years of their lives, and now I can see why.

The palm tree saw his shadow so there will be 6 more weeks of winter.

I hate mowing but once I made the move to a zero turn mower its almost fun and I have over 3 acres to cut. I also made the move south and it was a wonderful 74 today

I don't mind cutting grass on my little acre but only cut it about every 5 days. I just get on my John Deere 22 HP 48" cut set the cruise control and have at it. It does have cruise control but I never use it. I usually start mowing early April until sometime in Dec.

Geess , My little "Hole in the doughnut" in eastern Pa, It's a balmy warm, above freezing, and no more SNOW! There's about 3-4 " on the ground. Heavy fog last night. The grass isn't getting enough sun to grow and mow. Last night, I finally got some work done on my model A parts. Life is good!

Drove my 31 cabriolet to church yesterday morning, top down! Then to the shop where friends are helping me add a 24x30 model A room to a shop that I own with 2 friends. Started with a bare slab Saturday at 9 and finished the frame yesterday at 2. 80 degrees Saturday, 70 yesterday. Gotta love Texas!!!!!!

Refresh and the pix will update. When they clear the snow you can see the skaters.

20 inches on the ground and another 12 to 16 predicted today.

You folks south of the Mason-Dixon line get back to us on July 22nd. We may have our hot days in the summer - but at least we get a break occasionally.

Here in NW Kentucky no snow... just the gray days. Lots of 40 degree days with lows in 20's most the time in Jan./Feb. Some says in 50-60's ... March usually just wet.

2009 ICE STORM Lots of damage and we had no power for 19 days! Took months to clean things up.

I like snow when someone else has to move it except I did enjoy plowing snow when I lived in the Northland

Ah 18F this morning, that's more like it... I will say Northern California is weather at its year round best...
