It's 15F outside and we've gotten 32" of snow in the last two days.
It's mid-November and the ski slope up the road is threatening to open in 2 days -- about 2 weeks early. Does anyone know how to make it go away? |

If people burn more coal, the Bush/Cheney team can get a coal company in there to remove the ski slope and dump it into a creek. |

Going out at 11pm and finding it still over 105. Up north, the best time of the day is just after noon and that coincides nicely with lunch time. In phoenix, lunch time is the absolute worst part of the day. The best time in the summer is between 2am and 4am. I don't get out much at that time; I tend to be sound asleep. But right now the weather is lovely. |

So that I don’t have to plow or shovel snow or drive to work on icy roads, or live with chronic bronchitis throughout the winter, etc. Unless you live in a climate like Hawaii, or simply like to freeze or burn, you avoid the seasons you don’t like and enjoy the ones you do.

A fading memory, but no more of it. Coldest I've seen where I live now was about 28 above. Mebbe that's why so many drunks move to Florida - less chance of freezing to death. Around these parts, they're beginning to talk about recycling sewage to drinking water. Might as well live on the shuttle ![]() mebbe they've just been drinking too much of that other stuff.

Does anyone know how to make it go away? 25 years ago I figured out the only solution was to move south. The only problem is those snow birds who can't commit and clog our roads all winter. They keep saying every couple years that the economy will slow down the "season" but it never seems to happen. Move south...that did it for me! They say it does snow here. I haven't seen any the years I've been in southern NC. I'll keep looking :-) All season tires make sense here. But then again, bald tire are all season here as well. North East N.C here, and we had snow flurries yesterday. 28f this morning when I got up. Just not south enough yet. Chris |

But I decided to stay near the Redneck Riviera in the Panhandle. In the 28 years here I've seen snow twice (a dusting and 2"). Also seen temps of 8º and 108º. A Christmas Day at 12º and one at 82º. It ain't the tropics, but it ain't the Pennsylvania mountains either! |
