Of course, that's a joke. Only a small amount of snow in Denver, but some temps down around twenty below with wind chill down to around 40 below. Based on what the media is reporting for everybody east of here, we came out of this easy. Supposed to be back in the upper 40s by the end of the week. Everybody be safe. Protect the gear!

gotta love it here, eh Brad.....

minus temps one day and mid 40's and sunny the next with virtually no snow.

the only problem I have had is the humidity (from keeping the guitars at a decent level) freezing on the windows and then eventually melting onto the sill.

'Melia is in the 60s and very humid which I will not bitch about this time because the guitars have been so dried out this winter this is a good shot of air to get them back where they need to be.

Hot Springs has about the same weather as Denver right now. There are about two inches of snow on the ground and although it was 23 below last night, today is a bit better and tomorrow we'll be back up around 40. Looks like it's going to get cold again next week though. Monday's high is supposed to be around 11 above.

Al - we didn't anything but rain last night... what a breath of fresh air!

The fog was unbelievable this morning. I couldn't see 10 feet in front of my car. I had to drive my in-laws to AC Airport... there was a 15 degree difference between Marlton and AC. AC was around 53 degrees and there was barely any snow on the ground. Everyone that I've spoken to in NY and North Jersey was slammed with ice.

Yakima, WA- Sunny & 33, with 53 this W/E, partly cloudly. Generally, dry. Back to high-30's next week. Shouldn't whine, I guess. Humidity a bit low. I water the plants indoors a lot. Helps with the guitars, apparently.

That silver flash you saw go by was me.

My son is driving back from Virginia. Took the southern route to avoid weather. He's in the middle of Texas where it's snowing and near zero.

I just got done taking the trash out to the curb . As I was walking down the driveway which is sloped about like most peoples roofs I began to ski. Not intentional but like when you were a little kid and limber. Of course I new I was going down and would probaly end up in the fetal position sucking my thumb and crying. I suddenly remembered to put my feet sideways and balance. Now mind you I had a trash bag in one hand and a trash can in the other which I was trying to use as an anchor. I made it to the bottom still standing and felt really lucky . The only thing that would have made it better is if I didnt have another bag and can to take down. The second time I went at it like an 8 year old with no fear and had no trouble.

New Hartford (and Torrington)32" of snow on the ground and more on the way for Saturday. Worst winter I can remember. Spent the last 3 days shoveling 2-1/2 feet of snow and ice off the roof.

Mid 30s, sunny no wind or snow. A little colder than normal. Played golf Saturday and it was pleasant, but the ground was frozen just below the surface. I need to find someone to go skiing with.

Come join me ... I'm going skiing tomorrow. There's a couple of feet of fresh snow, and it's supposed to be 46 and sunny up on the hill tomorrow afternoon. I love snow. On the mountain.

What mountain is that? I will be down in Sonoma and North the week after Memorial Day. Bring the Silver Bullet and join us in some wine touring in the P-car.

We haven't seen a temp above 32 since before christmas. It's like living in an ice-box. Snow is mid thigh. I walk out to my garage thru a hallway of snow. No place else to put more snow on the driveway. I'm at capacity. Afraid what will happen if we have a quick melt in February, possible flooding. Roofs are collapsing. Skiing however has been most excellent!

Where is that picture from? :eek: :eek: :eek:

Spend two nights with a friend, about a mile from work. Much easier commute with the ice.
Got home to a solid ice "speed bump" at the end of my driveway, courtesy of our town snow removal team.
My guitar student and his mom came over Tuesday and shovelled while I was away, so I didn't have a whole driveway of ice to try to chop up tonight. It took a long time to get rid of the speed bump, though, and we have yet another storm predicted for Friday night/Saturday, with another 4 inches or so a possibility.
The house is staying at about 41% humidity, so the guitars all seem to be o.k. so far...but I am SO tired so shovelling...and shovelling...and shovelling...

It's a nice toasty 15 degrees here right now; black ice has caused some really nasty accidents. Only about 30 degrees tomorrow, but we're almost halfway through February, and that rodent-thing they dragged out of his burrow the beginning of the month didn't predict six more weeks of winter, so maybe...............(well, I can hope, can't I??)
