Ify, I'd kill (or play a taylor) for 64 degrees. It's about 29 here with a lovely mix of sleet and rain. Good day to play.

Iffy, Bite Me!

You come up here and you'll see what it's really about. Bad news is you'll probably break the other ankle sliding in this spoo. It's pretty till it's all over your shoes...

Hope you're mending well and quickly. MCHNY.

21 F, and a foot of snow in the yard. Conditions are perfect for skiing according to my son who spent yesterday at Snowbird. He complained last week that there was too much powder, but this week is perfect.

So y'all come on out and enjoy the best snow on earth. Bring your special someone for the apres ski.

I don't know what the temp is outside... and I don't want to know! It's pouring rain right now... which means Nicky's hockey game will be cancelled which means I don't have to stand outside in it again.

I'm going to relax and try some of that Oban (later) and practice my Christmas songs (both of them) on the geetar.

8" fresh on top of 4" old, for about 10" over-all.
(snow'll do funny math like that...)
2 below freezing and light snow still falling.

I think I can make snowshoes out of a couple squash rackets.

It's been cold and snowy here for the past month with about 4 feet of snow piled around the house, so I don't care what it's like outside anymore. I'm just gonna stay inside by the fire and play guitars - and maybe watch Sleeezebay on and off.

You southerners best not get too cocky... There's already been snow in Texas, on Malibu beach in California, and on the Vegas strip in the desert.

You'll get yours.

Remember when it's cold, you can just put more clothes on when you go out. When it's hot... you can strip down to nothing.. and it's still freak'n hot. You can keep that nonsense. I grew up in Connecticut, and lived in the Philippines, Hawaii and Alaska and several other places. I like where I am now the best. Average year-round is about 60. Rarely over 80, rarely under 40. Oh yeah... lived in Florida too.. well sortof.. PenSUCKScola.

I truly don't understand the attraction of hot weather. Can't breath, can't move, yuck.

I'd really LIKE a little bit of everything. Up here in Northern Michigan lately, you pretty-much get a lot of winter and not enough of anything else.

I'm with Miles, but I've learned to take the heat we get here in the summer. It's a dry heat, as they say in Arizona. When it gets over 100, I golf in the evening.
Winter is for skiing and aybe some snowshoeing. Our Springs and Falls are fantastic.

I'm with you Keith. When the weather is like today,(mid 30s), stay inside and play guitar and in the summer when it is in the 90s, stay inside and play guitar.

I lived in New York and do not miss the weather Beal and some of the others are having.

The birds have got it right - they are migrating down here during your winter - 30C in Melbourne and trying to think of fresh cold seafood and roast turkey and pudding in 3 days time :confused:

Though I love my winter trips to Mexico (and fantasize about spending 4-6 months a year there) there is something to be said for having three distinct seasons.

Besides, Chantrelles don't grow wild in a 'dry cold'.

Remember when it's cold, you can just put more clothes on when you go out.
…to bust your back shoveling the driveway, then bust your balls on the impenetrable berm at the end where the plow guys gleefully piled up another couple tons of heavy packed stuff, then scrape the ice off the car which needs to waste precious gas warming up for ten minutes before the windows will clear and you can get to your second job that you need to pay for your preposterous home heating bills, and the exhaust you just replaced on the car because the salt eats it off every coupla years.
I truly don't understand the attraction of cold weather. ;)

Aww… I’m not even half serious, Miles. While I am digging the temperate South Carolina climate, I would be lying if I said that I didn’t still crave a good dose of snow and cold once in a while. When I do have the opportunity to get out in weather like that, it always strikes a familiar and comfortable chord somewhere down deep. Hardships aside, I have lots of good memories and adventures that are associated with those arctic conditions. And you gotta admit, it does keep the bugs at bay. Really have to laugh at the mosquitoes down here, (they’re so tiny and cute) but the uh… “Palmetto bugs” kinda drive me up a wall. :p

This morning it was 10 in backyard, with 2 feet of fluffy snow. Great for skiing. Love cross country. Either you have to adapt to the climate or you hate it. I pretty much loved everywhere I lived, except Buffalo. If you've been there you know what I mean, cloudy all the time, too much of that lake effect snow, white out conditions, too short summers, economically depressed, the town is depopulating, probably under a 1/4 million by now, I feel sorry for the place.
